But again, the Sofrim wrote mainly according to their personal mesorah.

He explains in Shaalos Uteshvos Siman aleph that if you follow the Taz, the tefilin are pasul according to both the Rambam and the Rosh, and therefore mainly follows the Rambam, but in order to be yotzei as many understandings of the Yerushalmi as possible says to leave space at the end of shema and begginning of V'haya Im Shamoa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293749640163975885.post-82566197410614323962010-09-01T21:01:43.369+02:002010-09-01T21:01:43.369+02:00YK:

Either you hold of the solution of the Taz, either you don't. But I'm not a Rabbi, and this is just a personal opinion.<br /><br />YKYKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778564250634479028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293749640163975885.post-59750712954106330852010-06-17T10:08:55.418+02:002010-06-17T10:08:55.418+02:00Your sample mezuzah showing what the Taz setuma lo...Your sample mezuzah showing what the Taz setuma looks like seems problematic, based on my quick glance. The most widely accepted opinion of the Taz is to leave less than 9 Yudin (of that sofer's ksav within the mezuzah) at the end of shema and again at the beginning of vehaya. However, it seems that the sofer left too much space at the end of Shema.<br /><br />Note that Rav Sheinberg holds that one should follow the Rambam. While rav Elyashiv and most others suggest to do like the taz as this has become the widely accepted minhag among Ashkenazim.<br /><br />Even though most follow one opinion for both tefillin and mezuzahs, it makes sense why one might rely on the Taz in mezuzahs but follow the Rambam in tefillin - as you mentioned, a non setuma parsha in tefillin is passul but still kosher in mezuzah. So by mezuzah to follow the opinion of the Taz, which has been widely accepted, that enables one to fulfill that of the Rosh and Rambam, when at worst, it is still kosher but being strict by tefillin, where if you follow the Taz, the tefillin are passul if you don't hold like him so better to follow the Rambam and lose out on the Rosh. In fact, Rav Ovadia Yosef (and basically all the other Sephardi poskim) hold that the Taz is passul in tefillin. Nevertheless, Rav Ovadia holds it is kosher in mezuzah.tefillin rabbihttp://www.stam.netnoreply@blogger.com
