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
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?
I wrote in the title of this post MENAMNEM because this probably caused this ink smear. But just wanted to know how big the problem is.
ReplyDeleteThe second shem is no problem to fix, but in the first shem the pic is not clear enough, so I dont know if the hey has lost its tzura or not.
ReplyDeleteIf it has lost its tzura you can erase it [mevatel tzuras haois]. But, if it is clearly a hay, if there is no negiya of the left foot to the gag or the right foot, you can clean out the inside, but if the left foot is nogea to the gag you are in a big problem, and you have to mekalef the shem.
