Dakkos question

By -



If the skin that comes from the bayis under the titurah on dakkos is missing a piece or has come away from the corner on the underside of the titurah, does this affect the ribuah?

    In regard to the piece stuck under the upper titura - that is indeed questionable (and seems to be kosher), but the piece that is the lower titura [as in picture] is definitly pasul, because the lower skin [titura] isnt ribua.

    the only way to fix it is to glue another kosher skin to complete the ribua - but it will not be "or echad"!

    OK I fixed it. I peeled the whole underside off, soaked the skin in a cup or water for 10 mins and stretched it out. I then glued it back on and trimmed the edges so we now have perfect ribauh

      as long as the ribua will stay - good. but I doubt it will stay that long, since you had to over stretch it, it will start drying and shrinking to less then the ribua.

      if you glue it well it will hold,
      you culd also take a pice of klaf cut a square in it put it over the bayis then fold it over the bottom so now you have a full new titura.
      regarding or echadthe the bayis is still or echad but its not or echad im hatitura wich is a hidur that is not brought down lehalacha and in lubavitch thy did not make batim like that.

דיוחנן - kosher rapidograph ink.... Experiences or comments pls

By -
Image
I recently tried this kosher ink for my rapidograph and I am extremely pleased with it. It does not clog the nib like other kosher rapidograph inks, and it's very dark and strong. It's at least as good as the Rotring commercial grade rapidograph inks (of course these can only be used with batch numbers that have been lab tested and  approved kosher),  and in addition you do not need to add a drop of regular Sta"m ink (as per the instruction of the Shevet Halevi, which is messy and time consuming).  I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion or comments with regards to their experience with this ink...

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?

The OK's Hechsher on STa"M....Will it work?

By -
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...
