Hey there!

By -
What should be done, if while writing a ה, you wrote the gag and the left regel, and the left regel is touching the gag k'chut hasara, and you have not yet written the right regel?
Is it an issue of chak tuchos to separate the regel from the gag? is this the machlokes of radach "chak tuchos bechatzi os"?

    according Radach it is defintly chok tochos [I think the keset hasofer is machmir at least lechatchila], but in the hai mentioned others may also machmir since the left foot was finished as a pasul it must be totaly erased, but the gag may be left because the right part of the hay wasn't finished. (If I remember correctly, there is a chatam sofer speaking about this ?)
    If it is nogeya I can search the chatam sofer.

      Once you erase the left regel and all you have is a gag there is no tzuros ha-ois so why would you have to also erased that?

      does this apply if i first wrote the bottom part of the left regel, and afterwards added the top part (and rounding out the left side), and that's when it connected to the gag (ksav ari), is it clear what i'm saying?

      If the hay was written backwards - first the left foot then the gag, so the negiya occurred while making the gag. If so the gag was written bi'pisul - and in this case the gag [and not the left foot] must be erased.

    If so as explained above only the left foot should be erased, the gag is OK.

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 ...
