problematic beis

By -
The Beis of yirbu - is this a beis or a nun?
I think a tinok can be asked.

    See Shevat HaLevi Chelek 8 Siman 12 ois 6
    here: http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=1418&st=&pgnum=19&hilite=

    Not mamash the same. The Beis here seems somewhat 'worse'

    I agree that a tinok should work. The thick high Ekev of (Ksav A. Rebbe) throws it off from assuming to take the status of a nun.

    My opinion is that a tinok will NOT help since the difference of a beis and nun is that the nuns moshav is wide.I WOULD BE IT MACHSHIR FOR A NUN WITH A TINOK.Mikdash Me'at brings Levush, Pri Megadim and explains Darkei Moshe that nun with wide head is kosher if moshav is wider.

    The Mikdash Maat Ois ב: sif katan 10 explains when in doubt if the beis could look like a nun because the gag is shorter than the moshav a tinok helps.

    See also the Mishnas Sofrim Ois ב that explains when in doubt since the gag is very short we go after a tinok.
    In addition to this, the high thick ekev of the ב helps.

    I asked R' Shammai Gross today. He said mitzad the short rosh and problem of looking like a Nun it's ok. In regards to looking like a proper beis he also said is ok -- no shailos tinnok.

    Mitzad it maybe being like a nun or if it's a proper beis?

    I would say this: it doesn't look at all like a nun. But since the gag is short and a tinok may not recognize it as a beis, he might take a further step thinking its a messed-up nun. so both are correct!

דיוחנן - kosher rapidograph ink.... Experiences or comments pls

By -
Image
I recently tried this kosher ink for my rapidograph and I am extremely pleased with it. It does not clog the nib like other kosher rapidograph inks, and it's very dark and strong. It's at least as good as the Rotring commercial grade rapidograph inks (of course these can only be used with batch numbers that have been lab tested and  approved kosher),  and in addition you do not need to add a drop of regular Sta"m ink (as per the instruction of the Shevet Halevi, which is messy and time consuming).  I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion or comments with regards to their experience with this ink...

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?

The OK's Hechsher on STa"M....Will it work?

By -
In today’s day and age, virtually every kosher product available to the consumer comes with a hechsher. By hechsher, I mean an official and recognised rabbinical body or agency that certifies the kashrus of a product, be it a food item or a religious article. Hechsherim play a vital role in providing consumer confidence, and something branded by a reputable kashrus agency will be considered more legitimate than a similar product that does not. The agency has rigid policies and protocols in place to ensure correct standards are met, and they are independent of the manufacturer so that there is no conflict of interest. As we have discussed on this forum previously, there is a distinct lack of official hechsherim on Sta”m products - Tefillin, Mezuzos and Sifrei Torah. Even the Vaad Mishmeres Sta”m, the oldest and most well- known rabbinic agency in the Sta”m world does not certify products. They test and ordain sofrim and magihim (examiners), offer a computer checking service (sp...
