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 ...
Hi Shmuel,
ReplyDeleteAlthough the tag comes out from the right side of the head, it is small and thin. Kasher as is.
One had a shaila WHICH RAV FRIEDLANDER WASNT HAPPY ABOUT WHERE THE YUD LOOKED LIKE A NUMBER FOUR. BUT THERE THE HEAD WAS VERY THIN HERE IT IS THICK AND THE TAG IS THIN SO I SHOULD THINK ITS OK
ReplyDeleteksiva tama brings rav wosner that if it looks like 4 it is pasul.I would like to understand does it have to look like other alphabet or # to be pasul or as long as it does not look like yud its problem.How about if it looks like a Chinese letter
ReplyDeleteIMHO it has nothing to do with other alphabet or numerals.
ReplyDeleteLook at Sefer Sefekut HaSofer Letter YUD #13. At the end of the day, if it appears like it has lost its shape and lets say that it appears similar to a #4, the matter must still be substantiated by the reading of a tinok. If he reads YOD, whe can then slightly lengthen the width of the YOD so that the tag not remain on the right edge of the letter.
ReplyDeleteHowever, in the above case, were the tag of the YUD is small and thin whe rule it to be kasher as is.
