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?
Question to Yosef Chaim B
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 ...
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.
