An in-depth shiur about the Mezuza controversy which has captured the Chabad airwaves for the past ten days was given on Sunday.
The shiur was presented by Crown Heights long-time resident and veteran Sofer Rabbi Yehuda Clapman at the Sunday Kollel and broadcast on COLlive.com.
The Sunday Kollel, currently in its fifth year, is a kollel for working men to spend their Sunday mornings learning and davening, complete with a full hot breakfast and a kids program. The kollel is at the Geshem Shul – Anshei Lubavitch 578 Albany Ave.

Most of the psulim are easlily seem with the naked eye! If you can see it in the video it would be even clearer in real!!
They are selling posul mezuzas. He’s machshil the rabim and couldn’t care less!! He’s making money don’t bother him.
Everyone knows the truth and he’s trying to cover for himself to his customers. The truth eventually comes out. Him and the others are done
Some of rabbi clapmans views are rather radical. Lechatchillah and bedieved are practical halachic terms. Why does he not acknowledge this. Everyone else does. The comparison to the esrog is confusing. If its kosher you can give it for mivtzoyim, he says only things which make it unkosher would make it unfit for mivtzoyim. A mezuzah is still definitely kosher if its missing some crowns. Yet he says you cant use it for mivtzoyim as such. Seems like a contradiction.

Here Rabbi Clapman says teffilin should not be checked with lights and with magnifying glass. Only what you can see with your naked eye. Most of the “pesulim” (touching letters, or cracked letters) are very difficult to see with the naked eye. So that means most are actually kosher. If Rabbi Clapman checked them (without magnifying etc) we would probably have a very different outcome.
So what does that say about this whole episode of claiming all the sofrim are fruads?
Very informative and clear
