Where is this writer today and is it really him? I have serious doubts that he even exists. These are his works. We need more accurate samples of his works. His certificate is from 20 years ago. Looking at his photo in the synagogue, I know this man; he lives in Switzerland and works for a watch company. He’s a different story there.

Would be helpful to all of us if u include a clear photo of one of those ucranian mezuzohs.
So we can see and recognize his ksav .
Thanks

Thanks for sharing. We had our mezuzos written by a reliable sofer who we know, and kept getting Rebbe letters about checking them. We checked them and everything was fine. Then we got another strong letter that we should check our mezuzos because one isn’t kosher. After consulting a Rav through asktherav.com We discovered that one of our mezuzos had been placed incorrectly. The Rebbe knows, even if at first glance it looks like everything’s ok

I’ve seen the Rebbe explain that a Mezuzah is like a helmet. Nobody falls off their bike because they aren’t wearing a helmet, it’s just that if for whatever reason someone falls off their bike, then a helmet can be the difference of even life and death.

I’m wondering if the Rebbe also explains it in the way it’s often said, and seemingly presented here as well, that it’s as if (Chas Veshalom?) a problem in a Mezuzah or lack of Mezuzah can cause something bad.

I just had mine checked by another sofer; it happened to have been at Machon Stam, they discovered issues with 2 of my mezuzos. I 100% agree with this. If you can get them checked, please do it.

I was just discussing the fact that my daughter needs mezuzahs in her new house and she has been having issues. This article came just at the right time.
