Sefer Kesivas St'am By R' M. Mendlowitz - Where to Buy It

By Anonymous -
I have R' Adam's sefer Yalkut Stam, in it he waxes very poetic about the sefer Kesivas Stam by R' Mendlowitz as an indispensable primer on technical information for a sofer.  Does anyone know where I can get a copy (I'm in New York).
Thanks

    I got my copy direct from the author. +972-2-623-4070. IIRC, he only speaks Hebrew & Yiddish.

      This book by R. Reuven Mendelowitz is indeed very good - called Inside STaM. The footnotes and endnotes are in Hebrew but the main text is in English.

      It indeed look very good! However from what I've heard I believe he is a bit more on the side l'hachmir. For educational purposes and learning (and for the layman) it can give a lot of good yedias

      yes I only glanced through it but I saw a picture of a kuba or zanav which he passeled which seemed very machmir

    Its a great sefer giving many yedios-the real good part is that THE PARTY THE JUDAICA STORES HAD IS OVER FOR SOMEBODY READING THE SEFER however if somebody with OCD gets hold of it.........nothing will be good enough

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 ...
