is this chatoteres kosher?
I have a doubt if this type of chatoteres on the ches is kosher, since it is not connecting from the closer edges of the zayinim, rather from their center or far side?
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

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.

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.

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 ...
The pshat in Chatoteres is that it is a modification of the gag. The basic tzurah of the roof of the ח is flat--ספרי דווקני would modify it in some way; exactly how is a מחלוקת ראשונים. If the Chatoteres looks like an adornment to the top of 2 zayins and not at all like a continuation of the gag from the corners of the zayins, I would consider this very questionable, although I think I recall seeing that some Acharonim are machshir.
ReplyDeleteThis is not at all uncommon by cheaper ksavim. I've never heard of this being a shailah.
