Kitvu Lachem

There are a number of examinations that need to be done in order to deem an item of STa”M as Kosher or not. These include checking spelling, colour, spacing, shape of the letters and many other factors that only a qualified Magiha (examiner) knows to look for.

Mail your item to us and we will check it for you and send it back!

Our examinations include:

• Tefillin: Opening and re-sealing, painting of the Batim (housings), photocopy of Parshiyot (Scrolls), care for the Retzuot (Straps), complete examination of the Parshiyot (Scrolls).
• Mezuza: Complete examination, rolling and wrapping, photocopies of mezuzot (upon request).
• Sefer Torah: Complete examination and repairs, cd of scan of entire Sefer.

We offer full repairs and restorations of Sifrei Torah. See below for example pictures.

Unfortunately it happens that there are additional words or letters in STa”M or that a word is incorrect. Below is one example out of many that we have encountered, and unfortunately for the owner the tefillin have been Pasul (invalid) forever.

The verse is supposed to be “…והיה אם שמע תשמעו אל” whereas this reads “…והיה אם שמע תשמע תשמעו אל”
