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 ...
R. Moshe, what you wrote "In ST you may scrape away the whole yud and rewrite it" doesn't sound right. That should be right only if the top yud was written last. If the top yud was written first than you have to scrape out the whole letter. Unless there is some other דעה that I am not aware of.
ReplyDeleteSholom, you are right I wasn't medayek at all in this sentence. I only menat that in a ST the problem can be taken care of by scraping the passul parts of the letter.
DeleteYou are right, usualy this will call for scraping the gag and not the yud, but these details vary according to the seder of the csiva and when and what type of pisul occurred.
I was wondering why this may not be considered kosher since the is only a tag that is touching if someone can enlighten me i would be grateful
ReplyDeleteI believe that if the guf haos is not touching only throught a tag then most poskim consider this to be kosher
Deletetheoretically you are correct, but since the nekuda is so close to the gag and connected, the hollow inside is barely noticeable [the picture is very enlarged] therefore it may be considered as completely touching and pasul.
