Kaf/Nun
To me the כ of כימי looks like a נ when comparing with size of Kafim and nunim in this mezuza.
Does anyone think a tinok should be asked?

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
It is very hard to tell from this picture because the mezuzah is curved exactly where the chaf is which may make it look slightly narrower than it is in actuality and with something close like this it could make the whole difference.
ReplyDeleteit is a shaylas tinok.

ReplyDeleteI agree - this is a sh'elat tinok. Looks very much like a nun, even though his normal nunim seem to have a very thick base elsewhere, which is a little odd in itself.
ReplyDeleteIf forced to pasken I would say it just makes it as a chaf, however, I wouldn't disagree with those who say to ask a tinok.
ReplyDeleteTinok read Nun.
