Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?
Question to Yosef Chaim B
Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן. Nor are we interested in those who said to use עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is דיו עשן of good quality that does not fail. There are well known Poski
the second beis of bevaisecha - no!
ReplyDeleteenlarge for better view.
Reb moshe Please give us a clear understanding according to chabad what part of the beis must be square.Is it the point on bottom or the outward tzura or does it need a real eikev
ReplyDeletethe beis of bechol is also very problematic.
ReplyDeleteaccording to this csav the basic feature that makes a beis, is the ribua of the akev, that means the akev has to be bolet in a way that clearly indicates that the bottom part of the beis is extended in a square shape from the moshav past the line coming down from the gag.
true that if the bottom tip is round but the akev in clalus is clearly extending and giving a square tzura to the letter it is kosher.
in these beisim [that Heshy posted] the akev is clearly round from the top till bottom, indicating a gav [like the gav of the caf] not an akev at all.
I am afarid that these 2 beisim noted are pasul as being a caf type letter, and lo moil sheilas tinok clal - כי עינינו רואות שאין להם צורת בי"ת כלל
Beis Hastam if something isn't clear - please note, I will try to explain better.
Sorry to be so harsh, but it is schorah like this that gives Alter rebbe ksav a bad name. Chabad consumers looking to buy cheap should better buy Arizal. Only sell Alter Rebbe if it is high quality and written by a mumcheh.
ReplyDeleteOther problematic letters that are especially common in cheap Alter Rebbe ksav other than the round bais are in my opinion 1)shinim that are not chad krah and have a moshav that is semi flat 2)nunim where the gug is wider than the moshav, 3) chof with square on bottom right, 4) lamed with small neck 5) vovin and yudin without proper rosh (the rosh is half swallowed into the regel and only has a shpitz (ie kotz R'T giving it shape), and sometimes 6) Zayin with regel that has blita making it possibly a nun kfufah. Also 7) samech with square bottom on left side is a deviation and can sometimes passel the ois.
ReplyDeleteAlso I don't understand these sofrim who write Alter rebbe with these huge bedek chaya tagin, where is the kabollah for that? We don't see it on any of the ksavin such as Reb Ruvain or the megillah it can sometimes be a shinuy tzurah.
