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 ...
lich'ora a shaylas tinok would be OK, it isn't an extreme shinuy tzuras ha'ois.
ReplyDeletethanks for the post!
the pointy top right of the rosh should also be rounded to make it lechatchillah
ReplyDeleteI doubt this letter would ever be lechatchila but if one got a psak to ask a tinok and they were machshir, then all necessary tikunim should be made nevertheless. In any case, the mezuzah this shaila is from is a cheap bedieved ksav..
ReplyDeleteI hadn't shown this to Rav Friedlander as I was pretty confident he'd pasel it since as far as the deah of Rav Elyashiv is concerned, this is a pretty extreme split. Perhaps I will show it to him. However, I could hear the possibility that others would call it a shailos tinok.
I spoke to Rav Friedlander. He agreed it's an extreme split ( I didn't mean an extreme shinui tzura per say) and Rav Elyashiv held that even much smaller splits are pasul. He also said that since R.E. was the only source for this chiddush, in case of a bedieved ksav one can choose to me mekel.
ReplyDeleteHe did agree that this is bedieved at best and tikkun wouldn't change it.
(Of course, those that have another mesorah of psak will likely not have an issue with most split vavs.)
