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
After the tinok recognized the letters - they are such, and you may scrape the ngiya.
ReplyDeleteAlthough here it is simple, this indeed [in other cases] is sometimes complicated.
It could also be read as kaf touching chet. So which one do we go by?
ReplyDeleteAlthough it could possibly be read as a Khaf touching a Chet, the tinok read MEM-ZAYIN so that is what we go by.
DeleteAccording to reb moshe: the tinok
DeleteWhy don't we say that since the negiot are the same size and thickness and it could just as easily be a kaf-Chet that a tinok doesn't help because another tinok could just as easily read kaf-Chet? Ie like a mem stuma with one rounded corner and one square corner?
ReplyDeleteWhen looking at it in real life, the thickness of the connecting line of the mem is substantially thicker than the negiya
