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?
shaylas tinok.
ReplyDeleteI think the mem of hayom also should be asked, it is to roundish for a mem - although probably a tinok will read it mem.
How should one do shailos tinok for the zayin? Covering the hei after it?
Deleteyes
DeleteI used to buy this parsha for pshutim mehudarim but i stopped because it had too many problems and needed too much work
ReplyDeletea tinok can not be asked nowadys since he will read a real nun sofit a zayin. try it make a nun sofit with the regl 3 kulmusim as required and ask a tinok he will read zayin.rabbi mh wosner and reb mordechai friedlander agree to the following
ReplyDeletePlace a straight sheet of paper across the line-aligning it with the moshavim of most letters,if the zayin sticks out more than a half a kulmus it is posul if it sticks out less than a third of a kulmus it is kosher. more than a third and less than a half -sofek psul

ya, I remember this argument a time ago, in one of the early blogs.
DeleteDoes rav friedlander agree to this too? I know one or two poskim in america are very machmir about about a slightly long zayin but most poskim in Israel still go with a shaylos tinuk
ReplyDeletefurthermore how do you judge the bottom of the letters, particularly when its uneven like this ksav. if you look closely, the alef from asher goes down even lower than the zayin....
