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 ...
No need to change the yeriya, just do a little cosmetic surgery. First make very small tagin that end well before the hole. So it will look a bit funny but no one will really notice and it is still halachadic. Then take a shaving razor and peel a thin shred off a similar coloured piece of klaf. You can then put a tiny bit of PVA glue on the shred and stick it down over the hole. press it firmly so it blends in. Wait 24 hours and with 800 grade sand paper just lightly sand around so the edges will blend into the regular klaf. It should come up with a good result if done properly.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the advice, I will try and do my best to make it look good. Should the glue be "kosher"?
ReplyDeleteEli, one of the things I've been looking into for these sorts of small patches and particularly for joining torn k'laf rather than trying to get really think k'laf/sanding is using goldbeater's skin as many bookbinders use. However I haven't been able to locate a source of goldbeater's skin that is made lishmah. There is a Sefardi rabbi/shochet here in the UK I've been chatting with about trying to produce this. What do you think?
