is the small blitah on the bottom of the vov in any way a chshash of being a possible moshav and therefore possibly a nun?
Its the vov from uvechol
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

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
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 Vav is Kasher
ReplyDeleteL'dati kosher. However while sitting by R' Shammai a sofer came with a vav that had a small blita at the bottom and told him to ask a tinnok. I didn't understand the psak at all until he said to me "and if you would have to be a Nun, what would you say?". I suppose it that particular case it looked more like a Nun (than this picture here.) If I'm able to I'll print this out to bring however I think over here there is no sofek and if it would have to be Nun it'd surely be pasul. Therefore as it as as a vav there is no problem.
ReplyDeleteI just updated the post because the picture is a bit blurry, while I tried blowing it up as much as possible, you don't see that the inside of the blita on the bottom of the vov its sqare ie 90 degree angle which made me worry a little
ReplyDeleteThe Sofrim here at Beis Hastam agree to Reb Shamai
