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
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.
