another 2 shailos

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?

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 ...
