Why are there 150 laws on how to write letters? Is the only purpose to define an official font (and why is there an official font, anyway?), or is there some purpose to writing print Hebrew other than generic recording of information? The site seems to imply that this is primarily for sacred texts--how did it come about that they are not valid unless written a specific way, rather than if they read correctly?
