vav with tag entering

By -
If a tag of a lamed enters the space of  a vav on the line above (on the bottom left of the space to the left of the regel) can this a chash of a hay? By daled and reish it is but some say it applies to a vav too? Must you cover and show a tinok like daled and reish? I know each case differs but I'm talking about a standard (not overly wide) vav and a not overly thick tag (without a rosh).

If anyone has any shimush on this please let me know

    See Mishnas HaSofer Siman 5 Sif-Katan 60 that discusses the eikav of a beis or any other mark in the space of a vav.

    R' Shammai told me if any mark is not at the bottom of the vav then it's not a problem. However if there is any sort of marking at the bottom of the vav (on the left side of the space) then quite possibly it'll be a shailos tinnok or pasul and each case should be judged for itself.

    This week a sofer came with 2 shailos with an akeiv of the beis going into the vav (the tip of the aikev was c'neged exactly the shpitz of the rosh of the vav coming down on the far left side. If you can picture this. Both cases R' Shammai said shailos tinnok.

    I would say also in the case of the tagim of a lamed going into the challel of a reish or daled there is more makom to be makil already then in other cases (as I've heard/seen by R' Shammai in the past.)

    Over here perhaps more so (a tzad lhakil in a case of the tagim of lamed going into the space of vav) but as always each case has to be judged for itself. Although almost every shailo I've seen by R' Shammai with a Vav and something in the challel he said Shailos Tinnok.

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?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

By -
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 ...
