Did you see the latest "patent" for tefillin?

Keep your retzuah shel rosh in place with these new retzuah clips!

    Seems a bit extreme since there is not obligation for the part of the retzuah that hangs in front of you to be right-side-up. I have always found it strange that some people go around turning over other peoples retzuos if they have turned over.

    Ha! Reminds me of the old Talis clips. Since the young generation has dropped the use of taleisim at the age of Bar Mitzvah, those old clip makers have had to found a new outlet for their contraptions. VOALA! What a great idea for a Bar Mitzvah gift! Convert the old talis clips into tefillin strap clips and let the trade continue...

    What's next? Wan't to buy one for your Yarmulka?

    It's a nice idea. I'm just worried it will become the next hiddur, then the next chiyuv.

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 ...
