Supply Shopping In Israel / Yerushalayim

By Anonymous -
This is a little different than our usual topic.  I will soon have the opportunity to be in Yerushalayimg for the first time since becoming a sofer.  Any recommendations for places I can buy supplies including stocking up on some klaf, and some tikkunim.
Also, any good seforim stores in the yerushalayim that will have a good selection on st'am.

    you can go to klaf back he is right above shikun chabad if you take alias rabbi nanus the other stores are harder to find because they rely on word of mouth to find them i would have to check my notes i have the number to yaakov klaf (ps it is very hard to find it is in shuk meah shearim after the steablach)0546420301 you will like their store because of the variety of different stuff they have they have a high quality of klaf back is a little less because people say there klaf is to smooth but it is a little cheaper and a find that after ai use sanpaper a little there is no problem there are many other stores but i don't know how to describe where they are

    This link is one of my diary/blog posts about shopping for supplies in Yerushalayim. http://www.sofer.co.uk/html/diary_38.html
    You may find it useful as I have pics and addresses. K'laf Beck has sadly been shut every time I've gone. I tend to go to Keset Hasofer as my main supply place, but Hasofer is also good and the sofer there is very nice.

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 ...
