zayin pasul
I think the zayin in the word be'chozek is pasul. It is a narrow dalet (tilted a bit), not a zayin.
I would appreciate your opinion/thoughts.
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

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
Passul. See Sefekut HaSofer OT Zayin #10
ReplyDeleteask a tinok.
ReplyDeleteagreed , shailos tinok
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't this a classic Shaylat Tinok?
ReplyDeleteBecause the left side of the letter is long enough that it is clearly ain tzurasa aleha
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem clear to me at all. If it was indeed so clear, I don't think this post would be here. This is exactly what shaylat tinok is meant to solve, a vav that may be a reish, a yud that may be a vav etc.
ReplyDeleteI guess we just moved up one level. A shaylas tinok is meant to resolve a judgement call but now we have a case where two people make different calls on whether or not it's a shaylas tinok. I probably also should have allowed for the fact that the image here is much larger than the actual size of the tefillin.
ReplyDeleteI cut the screen size to 50% and to me it looks mamash a little dalet.
