Nun and Zaiyin

By Dovid Nissan Bressman -

The head of the nun is unbalanced, should it be fixed with hosafas dio on the bottom right part of it or shav vial taseh adif? (maybe it would make it too wide?)

The Nun in the second picture is moiel havchanos tinok?

























In this third picture is the second zayin of Mezuzas moiel havchanos tinok, (Some say that 3 and a half kolmosim is a kosher nun sofit at least bidieved).

    The word anochi, is kosher as it is. The metayeg (as usual) made a mess. If you want to add dyo to the right it is ok. [better - if you would have time - to scrape away that whole top [above the original rosh] and reshape the rosh and tagim.
    The venasati is a shaylas tinok and should be fixed (by adding to the right of the neck, and slope it, so it will look more as a nun).
    The zayin is definitly a shylas tinok (show the tinok several zayins and nun pshuta, then cover the vov tov of the word and ask.
    BTW the yud of beisecha is quite long, should be fixed by adding a strip of dyo from the kotz RT toward the right, and then a new kotz RT.

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

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
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?
