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?
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
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.)
