Question
I am Sephardic, and we have the custom to wear tefillin written in Beit Yosef script (Ashkenazi custom). I have mezuzot according to the Sephardic script (tradition). Am I required to purchase mezuzot in Beit Yosef script? I would appreciate a detailed answer. Thank you very much.
Answer
Shalom Rav
Since the Beit Yosef script is kosher according to all opinions, and the Velish script is kosher according to Sephardic opinion, there is no issue for a Sephardic person to wear tefillin in Beit Yosef script and mezuzot in Velish script.
