KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEH'HOO BEN HA'OLAM HABA


For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L. Lehavdeel For the Refua Shlema of Chai Yaakov ben Margalit shlit’a.
Translated from Yalkut Yosef Kitzur Shulchan Aruch:

1. Be’Ikar HaDin, in the base of the Halacha, there is no obligation to check a finished Sefer Torah with the latest machine that checks Sifrei Torah for a mistake. In any event, it is suggested and correct to do so. However, one cannot completely rely on the machine to check for any mistakes compared to a Sofer (a person who writes Sifrei Torah), as we are accustomed to.

2. It is a Mitzvah for a Sephardic Kehila to read from a Sefer Torah with Sephardic writing and for an Ashkenazi Kehila to read from a Sefer Torah with Ashkenazi writing, in order to prevent the straying away from our ancestors’ customs. However; from the basis of Halacha, there is no prohibition for a Sephardic Jew to go up to a Torah with Ashkenazi writing because there is no difference in the letters. One who avoids going up to a Torah unlike his background is acting like a person who is speaking gossip and bashing a Sefer Torah, Has VeShalom (G-d forbid).
