Silk Screen Sefer Torah
Question
In this post, http://kashrut.org/forum/viewpost.asp?mid=4692, you seriously chewed up the questioner for his chutzpa. All chutzpa and arrogance issues aside, I just want to clarify. I don't know much if anything about safrus. You have presented a very very convincing case that your father's process is totally 100% kosher, especially regarding what seems to be the main complaint, the Yerushalmi "kasav v'lo shofeich". But as for these points: --------- 1. Each shem of hashem needs to be written specifically leshmah prior to writing it. If you are writing a page in a couple of seconds why do you assume that you can be mafsick between the kedusah and the actual writing of the shem hashem, with other words that are not shemos? 2.Every sefer on hilchaos safrus writes that lechactcila each word must be said by the sofer prior to writing it so that the kedusah of the hevel piv will go on to each word. How do you do that? 4.Many poskim hold that even in a sefer torah the letters of each shem have to be written in order. ------------------ I don't know hilchos ksivas sefer Torah at all. Are these points mentioned by the poskim? Or was the poster in that previous post full of baloney? And if they are mentioned, is your father disagreeing with them? Or does he hold that the guarantee of the overall kashrus of the sefer Torah outweighs these concerns? I'm hoping you'll trust my sincerity and reply, as I am very _practically_ curious about this.
