The Great Escape
How kosher is this Lamed which I attempted to keep out of the Chaf Sofit above it? What is better to do this or make a short one?
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
After already writing the hai and mem of hamelech, I don't think there was any possibility to make a short lamed, there wasn't enough space.
ReplyDeleteIS it better to do this, or make a super long Lamed?
DeleteThe lamed looks fine, the neck is not overbent. If you would lengthen the lamed you would have problems cramping the rest of the line. I think what you did is best.
DeleteThanks, I definitely should have crammed a little before the Lamed and tried to fit it it before the Chaf S. but after the fact... that's the best I could do.
DeleteJust seen this very example in a Torah I've been repairing. Perfectly fine and you have done it well.
