kuf
What do you think of the kuf of "umilkosh"? do you think its just a fat tag or he wrote another lamed and was too lazy to erase it and turned it into a kuf without erasing the rosh?
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

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?
The forum is back online...for reference and research purposes.
Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
"do you think its just a fat tag or he wrote another lamed and was too lazy to erase it and turned it into a kuf without erasing the rosh?"
ReplyDeleteDoes it matter what he meant? Is there a difference between a case that he intend it to be a lamed, and changed his mind and turned it into a kuf [I understand from your wording that this is a type of "csiva b'pisul"], and the case that he intended to write a kuf but the tag came out fat?
Please clarify the issue - because I am not sure I understood you correctly.
Perhaps I phrased it wrong. I was asking if you think it is pasul or if a sheelat tinok would help in this situation? to me, it looks pasul, but I wanted other Sofrim's opinions on the matter.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a shaylas tinok.
ReplyDeleteI showed this to R' Shammai Gross this morning. He said to me as it is he said it's kosher. If the tag would come out that thick and be all the way at the end (on the left side) it'd be pasul.
ReplyDeleteI agree it makes no difference what the sofer's intentions were. I also would have said like Rav Shamai.
