[Avodah] ksav ivri

[Gershon Dubin]

<<As to the comments on letter shape (in k'tav m'ruba) 
changing with time, I've found one change that shocks many 
and is hard for them to believe is that, in all old 
manuscripts (Keter, Leningrad, etc.), the left leg of the 
hei reaches the horizontal gag just as does the left leg of 
the chet. The difference between the two letters is not in a 
gap in the leg but in the projection of the gag beyond the 
leg.  If anyone on list was one of the unbelievers, take a 
look at the photos of the Keter on the internet.>>

OK, color me shocked.  But how does that work out with the Gemara describing the heh as having an opening through which baalei teshuva can enter?
