In today’s day and age, virtually every kosher product available to the consumer comes with a hechsher. By hechsher, I mean an official and recognised rabbinical body or agency that certifies the kashrus of a product, be it a food item or a religious article. Hechsherim play a vital role in providing consumer confidence, and something branded by a reputable kashrus agency will be considered more legitimate than a similar product that does not. The agency has rigid policies and protocols in place to ensure correct standards are met, and they are independent of the manufacturer so that there is no conflict of interest. As we have discussed on this forum previously, there is a distinct lack of official hechsherim on Sta”m products - Tefillin, Mezuzos and Sifrei Torah. Even the Vaad Mishmeres Sta”m, the oldest and most well- known rabbinic agency in the Sta”m world does not certify products. They test and ordain sofrim and magihim (examiners), offer a computer checking service (sp...

obviously I am talking of the former case, where he added the new rosh first, and then scratched off the original head. obviously the second case is not feasable. my point was that in the first case where he fixed, since the ponim chadoshos here was only a rosh, and kav moshuch is fixable according to the mikdash me'at and others (as opposed to a ponim chadoshos which involves a more chomur/ fundemental part of a letter which has no sofek and is definitely possul -such as a regel- ) - then perhaps we have a tziruf. I know lemasah this is not the case but perhaps there is an argument that certain types of ponim chadoshos are better than others....does this make sense?
ReplyDeleteFurthermore; you can fix it in such a way that when you scratch off the original head you leave enough that without the ponim chadoshos it would be only a definite sofek choser aiver (because some of the original rosh makes it thicker on the top) which is even fixable on its own according to shut T'Tn and others. So certainly then with the additional argument that ponnim chadoshos is acceptable according to many opinions, it would be acceptable to reverse the heads.
Deleteyes? maybe? no?...anyone?
ReplyDeletereb moshe???
according to those that accept panim chadashois this is acceptable. according to those that pasel panim chadashois, this is no exception.
ReplyDeleteI dont see an additional kula, because of the issue of fixing the golem. {it is a "panim chadashois" of the kula}
