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?

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
