nun pshuta backwards
The question is can it be fixed in tefilin, according to opinions that a letter that a tinok can read correctly may be fixed (without chashash of sh'lo csidran)?
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher
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
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 ...
I am afraid that in this case the reading of a Tinok is of no avail. The Nun simply lacks it's shape and cannot be fixed.
ReplyDeletemaybe the picture does not correctly reflect the situation, but from the picture it does look like there is a blita on the left which may make the shailas tinuk justafiable
ReplyDeleteI am certainly seeing a small blita on the left, so would go for havchanot tinok in this case.
ReplyDeleteAs is my policy of not to ask a tinok without first asking a chacham (of course, I am fortunate to have easy access to Rav Friedlander) I'd ask a chacham first. While there is a yetzia on the left side, it comes down lower, added to that that it is very short in comparison to the yetzia on the right side, making for a possible shaila, which I'd prefer a chacham to decide. (I'd lean to being machshir it and then fix it, if I had to make the call.)
