Left foot of gimel
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?
Question: Does
the law of yud of the alef shin ayin etc. that are touching the body of the ois, straight
without a connecting oketz (SA 32:18), apply in gimel?
Note MS ois gimel
אם נדבק הירך בהרגל יגרור הירך ודי בכך
(if the left foot
is stuck to the right foot ..) – this can mean pic.1 because it is [like a]
nun, or also pic. 2?
It is accepted
here in Eretz Yisrael that there is a sfardi gimel that is written
m'lachatchila as pic.2, it is locali called "gimel Bagdadi" (the
gimel that Iraqi/Bagdad sofrim were custom to write), this is noted in Biur
Hasofer ibid. in the name of Da'as Kdoshim – that this gimel is csav velish. [Old
csav velish, but today all sofrim sfardim don’t write the gimel so, rather like an
ashkenazic gimel the left foot separated from the guf. Even sofrim from the
iraqi community today don't write a gimel as prescribed "gimel Bagdadi"].
Questions:
1) can there be a change hallachicaly, that a
gimel once accepted as kosher [even l'chatchila] is now pasul bdieved?
2) If the gimel was kosher for velish/bagdad
does that make it automaticaly kosher [bdieved] for ashknazim (then, or even
now)?
Bezras Hashem to
be continued next week.

Klaff Tanning question:
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
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?
