bechalukashteim." So that the letter does not look like two. If there are holes in the klaf, um then there is an issue that the letter will be split in half. We saw the Mishna Berurah se'if katan lamed bet on that on Thursday. We go to se'if yud dalet. "Hasofer im hasim oisiyos shlosha minei klafin." Soferim who are energetic, careful in their work, they make three types of klaf. "Ha'av yoiseir lischtoiv parshas Shema shektana." The thickest one to write the parsha of Shema, which is a small parsha. The parsha of Shema has how many words? 42 words. Besides Shema Yisrael Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echad. "Vehadak mimenu." The parsha of Shema altogether has 54 words. Keneged the times that Amalek Keneged the times of the Keneged the letters of the Asarah Harugei Malchus, the Ra'avad says. Keneged the oisiyos of the Asarah Harugei Malchus. "Vehadak mimenu as in the parsha of parshas Vehaya im shamo'a." The thinner klaf you write Vahaya im Shamaya Yotzei Gedolah. Vahaya im Shamaya is bigger. How many words are in Vahaya im Shamaya? I believe 122. 72 K'neged the Ayin Vavei Shemayis, and then 50 K'neged the Shin Nun, if I'm not mistaken. U'l'parshas Kadesh u'parshas Vahaya Ki V'haya Aruchos d'ein Oisin Klaf Dak Moyid. V'zeh Yismael Abba mi'Shaveh. V'zeh Oin Lo T'von. This way, if the parshiyos look equal, even though they're not equal, because there are much less letters in the first parsha of Shema than in Vahaya, and Vahaya has less than Kadesh
