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 ...
it would take about 2 minutes to fix with an electric sander
ReplyDeleteHow can one sand the corner there where all of the mavarta is protruding even lower?
Deletei use a disc sander for the back corner
DeleteAs long as the square of the lower titura, and the square of the lower tfira are still recognized, IE their length and width are equal on all 4 sides, it is kosher. If not pasul, unless fixed.
ReplyDeletewhen you say equal you mean less that 1mm discrepancy
Deleteprior to any sanding, the titura should be pressed back into its proper form as best as possible. Once you've done your best to get it back into shape then you would sand whatever is necessary. Sanding is permanent and is not the first step.
ReplyDeleteBatim experts are able to use heat straighten the titura. This is not something I'd suggest trying on your own as it is easy to mess up. The warped corners can also be very carefully straightened with a pliers. Finally, often some corners will need to be soaked out and reshaped.
The large gap in the opening can be a problem with the ribua. Also, some hold that considerable warping affects the ribua and if the titura elyona and tachtona are not aligned (creating a step) then some consider this a problem in ribua as well. Hence the batim must be fixed.
