Radical Transparency in STaM
For most of Jewish history, buying STaM has been a challenge. The halachot are complex, the terminology is unfamiliar, and it’s rarely clear what distinguishes one product from another.
At KosherKlaf.com, we believe that needs to change.
We’ve built our entire business around radical transparency. That means:
-
The widest range of STaM options available online — across all minhagim, price points, and stringency levels.
-
Pictures of every mezuzah — You see exactly what expect you’re getting for every quality we carry.
-
Clear descriptions of writing styles (Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Chassidic), halachic standards, and quality levels.
-
Detailed comparison charts that explain the differences in klaf, ksav, batim, and retzuot, so you can make an informed decision based on your needs and budget.
-
Educational resources that explain what makes a scroll kosher — and what to look out for.
-
The Grading Blog at kosherklaf.com/gradingblog, which breaks down the various levels and quality standards of STaM in clear, practical language.
-
The STaM Blog at kosherklaf.com/stamblog, where we explore important issues facing the STaM world today — including halachic debates, communal standards, and behind-the-scenes insights from the field.
We don’t use vague labels like “mehudar” or “high quality” without explanation. We show you the sofer’s writing. We explain what makes it mehudar — or not. Because when it comes to mitzvot that protect your home and your family, you deserve to know exactly what you’re getting.
