Tefillin upside down

By Yehoshua -
Someone went to get their tefillin checked before their chasanah and discovered the parshiyos in the Tefillin Shel Yad was put in upside down. The M"B and SA HaRav both say this is pasul even b'dieved. Are there however any poskim that say this is kosher b'dieved?

(I realize their is shitas R"T that says it should be put in "lying down". However despite this the poskim still say in a case of when it was turned upside down completely that it's pasul even b'dieved.)

    I have found parshiyos upside down / inverted/ even in wrong order. I don't know if it is a mitzvah to tell the customer......just make sure you put in parshiyos correctly yourself

      I would tell the customer if it was still the day he gave it to me before shkiya so that he could make a bracha on another pair at least that day....

    the Shulchon Aruch Harav doesnt say its posul, he says yesh lihizoher. and in the kuntres achron it says that by mezuzah both according to rashi and rabeinu tam it would be posul if it is inserted upside down, so he implies that it maybe posul but doesnt say it is. In Kol Yakov he brings down from the Shulchan aruch harav that it is posul... anyhow I had such a scenario in Monsey and Rav Leches said to inform the customer because its mamesh posul. Its not Motzei Shem Ra on the previous Sofer because, for if the customer was to go back to him he could tell him that you took it out and held it wrong... and you thought it was in wrong but it really wasn't...

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 ...
