Menachos 030: If two letters that form a word are "Bein ha'Dapim"
yaakov r. asked:
According to the Shita Mekubetzet which brings Rav Eliezer De Gremiza one
must move the word ahead to the next column. According to this Shita our
Maggid Sheur explained that the Aleph Bet Resh of Avraham would remain on
the bottom of the previous column and that the next (Daf) Column would
restart with Avraham Aleph-Bet-Resh-He-Mem - since Rav Eliezer didn't
specicifically mention erasing the three letters he wrote. I argued that
the Kavanna of Rav Leizer of Gremiza is like the Tur explains that he doesn't
write the first three letters at all but leaves the space blank and then
moves to the next column - otherwise there would be 3 extra meaningless
letters in the Text of the Sefer Torah. Who is right ?
yaakov r., Jerusalem Israel

The Kollel replies:
Who am I to be Machri'a between you and your Maggid Shiur. However, the
Lashon of the Shitah Mekubetzes certainly reads like the Maggid Shiur's
interpretation, as does the Piskei Tosfos who brings this Halachah. On the
other hand, the logic is as you say, and personally I would follow the
Sevara that it is highly unlikely that one actually leaves three extra
letters in the Sefer Torah. The Mordechai brings the same Halachah in the
name of the SEMAK and merely writes that two
letters which form a word cannot be written in the margin.
