I was recently asked by someone for a piece of unlined paper for
a kvittel that they were sending to a certain rebbe. I asked them
about the reason, but they weren’t able to give one, although they
did tell me that when a gabbai gives you a piece of paper to write
your kvittel on, it is always unlined. Can anyone here explain this?
Because only Hashem rules
They didn’t have lined paper (or parchment) in the times of the Baal Shem Tov.
Maybe unlined paper is cheaper.
Maybe the lines weren’t necessary because the Rebbe reads between the lines anyway.
LB- lol.
You want the brochois to flow – so to say the lines can be a blockage for the brochois to pass therefore we use unlined paper so the brochois can flow
While its a fun idea for a thread, not every minhag has any rational basis….how many times do we here that we do it because, “thats the way it was done in the alte heim”…maybe 200 hundred years from now people will say simply that the inyan for some practice is because thats the way it the experts in the YWN CR said it should be done
