beis with poor eikev
hi, what would be the din of a beis with a very minute eikev, and roundish , such as the picture here. I have some cheap mezuzos with such beises.
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
This still looks kosher, although poor quality.
ReplyDeleteI think this picture is a shaylas tinok, and after a tinok reads it correct should be fixed (if easily accomplished)
ReplyDeleteKosher
ReplyDeleteKasher as it is + the majority of poskim don't require us to show it to a tinok. Nevertheless, its good to enhance the heel.
ReplyDeleteI agree with R' Attia.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, it has a blita at the top, and an eikev at the bottom right, so I don't see why it would be a shaalot tinok. You can add ink to the eikev and make it more mehudar.
every sheila must be dealt separately a minor shinuy can change the letter
ReplyDeleteKasher but would be good to improve the ekev as everyone is saying. Havchanot Tinok is only for cases of genuine safek and it is fairly obvious it is a bet. However, if the bet is so poor on all these 'cheap' mezuzot, one wonder what else is wrong with them? I've actually fixed a Torah in the past where all the bets were similar to this and added an ekev onto all of them so I don't envy you going through all those mezuzot! But as 'aaa' says, don't assume they are all the same and each should be dealt with in turn.
