These are 2 pictures of the same Mezuza, the י in the second one and the ו in the first picture. R' Moshe what do you say? I added another picture of the vuv of uvishachbicha. This vuv although very similar to the previous one that I posted, it only has the bottom blitta.

    Dovid i didn't understand clearly your shayla?
    Is it the vav of ובשכבך and your question about kav mashuch? its seems similair to what we had before, or this is worse i cant realy see correctly from the picture.
    Please also explain which yud you meant, the first that is lacking kotz RT - can be fixed. the second lacking dyo' can be fixed

    The problem I have with the Yud of Shem Yud Kei... it does not have a Panim, is this not essential to the ikur tzura?

    the yud may be fixed, what its lacking is considered kotz RT, that is permitted to fix.
    thanks for the close up it seems to me that the vav is ok, better to add a bit of ink to define better the rosh.

Klaff Tanning question:

By -
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.

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך .

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?
