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 ...
Hi Eli,
ReplyDeleteIn my view we must accept this TZADE as KASHER. As we know, the TZADE PESHUTA is a compound letter consisting of a YOD and NUN PESHUTA. Although a NUN PESHUTA should always be standing straight; here, however, because the NUN is just a component part of the entire letter, we cannot conclude that the entire shape of the TZADE has changed. We must also add that, a TINOK would readily recognize the above letter as a TZADE if prompted to identify it. Thus, although appearing strange to us, the letter still maintains it's form and we must consider it to be KASHER.
the tzadi is kosher, although most magihim make a fuss calling it an "ayin hafucha".
