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?
The forum is back online...for reference and research purposes.
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
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.)
