Parshiyos of Shel Rosh

By Yehoshua -
In regards tot he Tefillin Shel Rosh, may one write the parshiyos (lets say at least the first 2) on one whole piece of klaf then cut the klaf in half with one parsha on one half and another parsha on the other? Is there anything wrong with this?

    In Tikun Tefilin [Baruch Sheamar p. 166] it is written not to write the parshiyot of rosh together on 1 klaf and later cut.
    The Minchas Soles [there note 751] has difficulty in explaining the reason.

    this is the old print of Baruch She'amar
    http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49216&st=&pgnum=33
    see bottom of second column

    the new print with Minhas Soles is called קובץ ספרי סת"ם
    is not online in hebrewbooks

    The Minhas Soles there debates:
    a) did the TT mean pasul even bdieved or only not to do so lechatchila. He brings proof from gemara & rishonim that this should not be done lechatcila.
    b) he expalins the reason for this isur is because many parshiyos together are קדושה חמורה, ואסור להוריד בקדושה

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?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

By -
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 ...
