Pasuchos in Eichah
I heard the following shailo...Someone wanted to know if there was ever a minhag went writing Megillas Eichah to put a parsha pasuchah after every pasuk?
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?
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 ...
This may be refering to the custom of leaving a larger space of one and a half to two letters at the end of a pasuk that used to happen in sifrey torah and esther and may well have happened with eicha and other megillot. This is a cutom that I'm sure the baal koreh would want sofrim to bring back.

ReplyDeleteDo you know where this came from?
ReplyDeleteI have not found a source for the custom but have seen many examples in old sifrey. It is mentioned in one of more recent stam halacha books but only to say we do not do this nowadays. Will check the source.
ReplyDeleteI've also seen this custom brought down, i think in the nose keilim in the shulchan aruch. And as noted by pinchas, i also saw it in some older sifrei torah.
