2 shaylos

By -

Hi, I have two questions-

1) This is officially a window, it was not designed as a door however people use it to get in and out. It comes up from the floor but not enough that you have to climb out as though you were climbing out of a window. is it chayev a mezuzah?










2) the daled with a healthy tag caused by the metayegs slipping a little. Shinu tzurah or fixable?

    In regard to the first shyla - you should put a mezuza without a bracha. I wrote about this in my hebrew forum see פורום לנושאי סת"ם: דלת הזזה מוגבה מהרצפה, ולא נעשה מתחילה למטרת פתח

    In regard to the dalet - I think a shaylas tinok is called, if he wont mistake this as a lamed, if read correctly, then erase the extra line.

    R' Moshe, please publish a link to your פורום article.

    It reminds me of my days in high school (decades ago) when Bochurim would break into the kitchen at night through a window. The cook - an older European Yid - approached the Rosh Yeshiva respectfully and - without explaining the situation - simply said, "Rebbe, I think we need a Mezuza for our kitchen window ..."

    To make a clickable link in the comments, use the following example:

    so in this case here:
    <a href="http://hebrewstam.blogspot.co.il/2013/07/blog-post_14.html">http://hebrewstam.blogspot.co.il/2013/07/blog-post_14.html</a>
    and this is what you get:

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 ...
