another 2 shailos

By -

1. Is this hybrid between a tav and a hey kosher? does it have tzuras tav?

2. A vav or zayin that is too long and looks like a final nun, to be fixed does the whole letter need to be erased, or just the regel? (iow, m"m says to erase the whole letter (not because of the reda"ch), is that the halacha?)

    1. Kosher
    2. Just the regel, although certainly a vov has to be a lot longer than a zayin to be a shinuy tzurah

    1) m'ikar hadin the tav has tzurah and no issue of mukaf gvil although it would be good to scratch off the shpitz on the left regel

    2) a vav or zayin that is safek final nun should first go through shailas tinok otherwise there would seem to be a matter of chok tochot if it was only fixed through greidah...

    Peretz I didn't undrestand this statement:
    (iow, m"m says to erase the whole letter (not because of the reda"ch), is that the halacha?)

    can you please explain

    (in other words, the מקדש מטעט says to erase the whole letter (not because HE holds like the reda"ch שיש חק תוכות במקצת אות), does the halacha follow this opinion

      It seems the MM meant since it was csiva b'pisul. But that should only apply to the long foot, that was written with one stroke. The rosh that was written seperatly before, need not be erased

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
