lamed with a clear hefsek
My opinion is, that le'maase we can be meikal and fix [even shlo csidran].
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?
Question to Yosef Chaim B
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 ...
RAV VOSNER WRITES IN A CASE OF SAFEK IF ITS NIKKAR LEHEDYA OR NOT WE CAN MAKE SFEK SFAIKA. BUT IF ITS A BIG NIFSEK (LEHEDYA LECHOL HADEOS) WE MUST BE MACHMIR.
ReplyDeleteThis hefsek is definitly nikar, I don't think this would be considered [in reality] a big hefsek though.
ReplyDeleteI maintain that according to the basic explanation of "hefsek nikar lehedya" [I wrote about this, in a post on this forum a while ago - have to search in archive when] this lamed may be connected/fixed although the hefsek [=the break] is nikar lehedya.
Sefer S'fakot Hasofer brings this exact example at lemed:19 and states that if it is nikar l'hedya then it pasul and can't be fixed as it is two letters and if not nikra l'hedya then would permit correction. Since this is a digitally altered photo with an artificial hefsek it is hard to properly conclude. However if it were a naturally occuring break with the result that there may well have been some tiny ink deposit/echo/fade remaining that was there previously I would have been meykel and corrected and it wouldn't be shelo k'sidran. Funnily enough a couple of years ago I saw a local rabbi stop reading, quickly roll up the Torah, march it to the aron, get another and unroll and start reading all in one very swift certain movement. Afterwards he told me that he came across a lamed where the entire vav head had NEVER been written there! Not even a residue of a fade.
