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?
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?
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
I received this question via email. I am not really a klaf expert, I was wondering if anyone could answer this question: Dear Rabbi Gutnick, I am writing to you because a good friend of mine has put the idea into my head that the klaf in my tefillin were not really tanned and therefore are not kosher. He referred me to Megilla 19a re diftera. From the research that I have done so far, it seems that the klaf that is used today is tanned only with a lime wash. On all of the tanning websites I’ve seen so far, they say that the lime doesn’t accomplish tanning but only the removal of the hair and some other pre-tanning effects. Would you be able to explain to me or refer me to a website that explains how the tanning process that is used today takes the hide out of the category of diftera? Thank you very much.
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?
