A place for English speaking sofrim (scribes), magihim (examiners), rabbis and vendors of Stam (Torah, Tefillin and Mezuzah scrolls) from around the world to communicate, share ideas, ask questions and offer support and advice.
Normally the sharp zavios here would turn the reish into a kosher Daled, however since it starts to curves (roundish) before the protruding blita... It does not give a resemblance of an eikev. Therefore I would think that a tinok could help.(Possibly kosher even without a tinok). See also SA HaRav 36 ois reish "shelo Tidamah letinok..." {(Seemingly the Rav is more lenient with relying on a tinok in sfekois on reish (on roundish/squarenes shailos) than the Mishnas Sofrim 36, as implied by the lashon on ois reish )} Lo basi ela lehaeir.
I think the pai {may} distracts the correct focus of a tinok on this specific shayla on dalet. The zavis projecting, is more obvious [and me'maila more accurate havchana of the tinok] when the pai is covered. The pai doesn't present at all any addition to the shayla, only distraction - thats why I think it should be covered.

I would cover the pai when asking a tinok, since the other letter [pai] takes away from the tinok's awareness.
ReplyDeleteR' Shammai Gross said it's a shailos tinok.
ReplyDeleteReb Moishe why would you cover the pey?
ReplyDeletesince the pey was there before the reish why cant we leave it uncovered?
