\fR oo m-hāk\ n. Any application of ingenuity for those who are committed to observe the 613 Mitzvot. [ORIGIN: Yiddish פֿרום (frum|fR oo m) meaning "commited to observe the 613 Mitzvot, or Jewish commandments" and the English Slang term HACK (hāk|hak) or LIFEHACK (līf-hāk|lahyf-hak) meaning "anything that solves an everyday problem in a clever/non-obvious way or an appropriate application of ingenuity"]

Since my days in Yeshiva I have always found the ‘ShtarkMark‘ to be useful tool while learning, reading and researching, however on shabbos, it seems, it may be assur to use them. (although there have been opinions that are matir in various situations, such as a second sticking when attaching to a surface that is not the same material as the mark) But have no fear! Levenger Page Points® Bookmarkers are the perfect shabbos solution to the ShtarkMark issue, not to mention they look a whole lot classier, are better for the environment and are reusable.

The cost $10 for a tin of three dozen and can be purchased at Levenger’s site. Here is a description from the site:

Mark the passage in a book and leave no mark
Our paper-thin Page Points® mark book pages in the most inconspicuous manner, and their finish is kind to paper. You can move these bookmarks as often as you want or leave them in books permanently, as they won’t harm pages. Get more from your book, without leaving a trace.

• Each point measures just 1″W x ½”H
• Three dozen come in a tin

“My work requires using various references on a regular basis. These page points are wonderful for marking the frequently used sections for ease of finding. I used to use sticky notes, but they became ragged and were unsightly sticking out of the edges of the books. This is a much improved system.”
