[Mesorah] She'ata / Sha'ata

[SBA]

Some TC in Bnei Brak (IIRC, named Kraus) published an entire sefer on the
geshem/goshem affair.
Again, IIRC, he shows clearly that geshem is correct


Here's a few links to others talking about such matters

and  a longer shmooz here (with some names you may recognise)

Then I remembered to look up one of my favourites present day mechabrin -
"Minhag Yisroel Torah" [vol 1 p. 209 siman 114] 
He has about 2 pages on this. Basically he agrees with the Reb Seth and
brings many rayos etc.

I can scan and send if requested.

On another matter. (I think I mentioned this once on Areivem)

Some years ago I found out that despite there not being any shemos Hashem in
Megilas Ester, RY Emden and the Komarner in his Chumash have a version of
the megilla where they highlight the various sheimos - in roshei and sofei
teivos, eg 'yavo hamelech vehaman hayom' 'ze einenu shaveh li', 

Some years ago we were visiting Hobart - capital of the Australian island
state of Tasmania - which (despite hardly having any Jews) has the oldest
Shul in the country.

In the aron hakodesh I found an old megilas Ester and when opening it I saw
that it actually had all these roshei and sofei teivos enlarged. (I have a
photo of a couple of pages)

Anyone here know more about this topic?

  When I discussed morid hageshem with RYBS, he knew a lot about who used
which girsa, but knew nothing about the fact that goshem was an emendation
by a printed T'NaKh, and that all the mss. had geshem.>

Gosh! So goshem is a bad emndation. This rains geshem on my parade

Who made this emendation?

What do Keter and Leningrad codeces say?
Shalom and Regards, RRW
