a nun shevurah?

By -
I showed this to a few people. I got the whole range of answers, from "I don't see any problem" to "in sefardi ksav this wouldn't be kosher" , what do you think?

    The pai is kosher - no problem.
    The nun is classified as "a nun shvura" because the sway in the middle line, there is some debate in some later melaktim (I think the Csiva Tama - a book quoted by Mishnat Sofrim on Pai, and/or Imrei Shefer) in regard to the kashrus of a nun shvura.
    I think the simple hallacha is that the nun is kosher. IE, there is no specific pasul named "shvura", if the line is not completely severed.

    in page 241 of your sefer you wrote that it's posul, is that a different case, or only one opinion?

    Thanks for reminding me, I forgot totally when I had written this.
    But there in the book [on this given issue], I am only melaket what is written in some seforim, but you'll see there from what I brought that there isn't a clear pasul in the "shvura" issue - and the only pisul may be of a shinuy tzura - which I don't see at all in this nun given.

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?

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
