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

דיוחנן - kosher rapidograph ink.... Experiences or comments pls

By -

I recently tried this kosher ink for my rapidograph and I am extremely pleased with it. It does not clog the nib like other kosher rapidograph inks, and it's very dark and strong. It's at least as good as the Rotring commercial grade rapidograph inks (of course these can only be used with batch numbers that have been lab tested and  approved kosher),  and in addition you do not need to add a drop of regular Sta"m ink (as per the instruction of the Shevet Halevi, which is messy and time consuming).  I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion or comments with regards to their experience with this ink...

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 OK's Hechsher on STa"M....Will it work?

By -
In today’s day and age, virtually every kosher product available to the consumer comes with a hechsher. By hechsher, I mean an official and recognised rabbinical body or agency that certifies the kashrus of a product, be it a food item or a religious article. Hechsherim play a vital role in providing consumer confidence, and something branded by a reputable kashrus agency will be considered more legitimate than a similar product that does not. The agency has rigid policies and protocols in place to ensure correct standards are met, and they are independent of the manufacturer so that there is no conflict of interest. As we have discussed on this forum previously, there is a distinct lack of official hechsherim on Sta”m products - Tefillin, Mezuzos and Sifrei Torah. Even the Vaad Mishmeres Sta”m, the oldest and most well- known rabbinic agency in the Sta”m world does not certify products. They test and ordain sofrim and magihim (examiners), offer a computer checking service (sp...
