A special yasherkoach to Yehoshuah

By -
I am writing this post to personally thank Yehoshuah for his efforts and contributions to this forum. The idea behind this forum was to provide support to the many sofrim in chutz laaretz who don't have the support of fellow sofrim and Rabanei morei hoarah in their respective locations. While Rav Moshe Weiner has been a tremendous source of support and guidance to me over the years, and I'm sure the many readers of this forum appreciate his constant input, I really must also thank Yehoshuah for his time and effort in bringing the many shailos discussed on this forum to Rav Shammai Gross Shlitah who is a true posek hador and who's opinions are accepted universally throughout the Torah world. Yasherkoach and thank you!

    For me it's a pleasure and zechus to be able to speak to R' Shammai b'frat now in Hilchos STaM which I started learning around 4 months ago. So really the thank you and yasher koach is to the entire forum! The forum has given me a great opportunity to bring more shailos in STaM to my Rebbe, R' Shammai Gross as well as the opportunity to learn more in this inyun from the discussions here. Over the time I've spent making shimush by R' Shammai I've accumulated over 800 Teshuvas from him (From all over Orach Chaim and Yoreh Deah, a little in Evan Ezer and Choshen Mishpat as well). The % of those teshuvas that are in Hilchos STaM is Baruch HaShem growing a lot. It is from him that I had a chizzuk to learn this inyun after hearing from him many times that there are unfortunately a lack of Morei Horeh (even in Eretz Yisrael) that one can say are "mumchim b'STaM".

    Keep the interesting shailos coming!

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?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

By -
Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן  that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
