narrow kaf

the kaf of ki is very narrow,in my opinion even a shalas tinok would not help since it is halachacly a nun.

  1. I would be afraid to pasel this caf so fast. The csav is quite narrow in general, and the gag is wider than the moshav something that takes it far from a nun.
    If I would be asked, I would say shaylas tinok, and (assuming he would read correct) then fix by adding a bit to the moshav.
    But אין לדיין אלא מה שעיניו רואות perhaps in real vision it looks worse?

  5. Ari great!!
    That is the alef I quoted Sheivet Halevi [in our debate kav mashuch - lamed], an opinion that is machshir such a alef, can not be disregarded.
    Remember?

  6. absolutely...machshir this now - but if it was just a little thicker and less of a diamond i reckon it would be pasul for all deos

  7. these parshios are the kind I generally do not like to check since the work of the baal magia here is "find the psul" I referred the owner to his rabbi who will hopefully convince him to purchase a new set(the batim pshutim were very warped and the retzyuos were torn as well).I will post a seperate question on the blog of how to deal with these situations please share your thoughts
