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. 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 ...
I don't disagree, but I do admire your courage.
ReplyDelete(In any case, the second VeHayu might need a Kotz added to the Yud.)
I question whether it is wide enough to pasel.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be so quick to passul, it's regel is bending inwards & a tinnuk would most likely read it correctly,
ReplyDeleteNot so sure. If it would be the top of a Vav, there would be hesitation about if it's a Reish. It's MUCH wider than any Vav in that Ksav. A Tinok might read this as a Yud, only because what else could it be. The Tinok might do so even if this were 50% longer, with a nice Kotz top and bottom, and a nice Regel.
DeleteYes, if it were a vav that would be a reish, however it is not and it also can't be mistaken for a reish, it therefore should remain a sheilas tinnok, as with a shinu tzurah.
DeleteWere it longer it would be worse, and we may not rely on a tinnok if we know he is clearly wrong.
Shaylas Tinok
ReplyDeleteI am not only concerned in regard to tzuras haos (as all agreed there is at least a shaylas tinok involved), but also a dimensional change.
ReplyDeleteA yud is a nekuda, here it is a kav IE a gag. So what Aharon said in regard to reish-vav is a problem, to my opinion.
Would you also be machmir if a nun had a rosh that was that wide, even if the moshav were extended well beyond the rosh and therefore no chashash of a beys?
