Ketores on Klaf

By -
What is the heter to write the parshas haketores on klaf in ashuris? I am aware that the Kaf Hachaim and others bring down the practice and that it is a segula for parnasa, but why is it okay to write it in the first place? I am vaguely aware that there is a shayla about whether or not it is muttar, but I'm not aware of who discusses it explicitly. Any sources would be appreciated.

    search rabbi ovadia yosefs tshuvos- he was against it.
    interesting is the last line of the first page mishna brura where he is against the "shivisi's if they are not covered properly(our ktores covered with plastic shouldn't be a problem.
    also if i recall correctly the tosfos y"t on the mishna "hamotzi klaf katan the shiur is to write parshas shma- now what can you do with a shema -so he writes you can say krias shma- please review the sources as i don't have the time at this moment.

      Text of Tosafos Yom Tov (Shabbos 8:3): תמיהא לי למאי איצטריך לפרש דזיל קרי הפרשיות שבתפילין תמצא שזו היא הקטנה. ונ"ל דאיצטריך למיתני דהא מכיון דתנן בספ"ג דמנחות שארבע פרשיות שבתפילין מעכבות זו את זו א"כ לא ליהוי שיעור להוצאת שבת אא"כ שיהיה בכדי לכתוב עליו כל ארבע פרשיות אהכי קתני שהיא שמע ישראל ומכיון שהפרשה קטנה היא שמע ישראל יש לשער בה לבד שכן קורין אותה לבד על מטתו וא"ת א"כ ל"ל למיתני פרשה קטנה שבתפילין י"ל דאי לאו שנכתבה בתפילין משום שקוראה על מטתו בלבד לא היינו משערין בה שרוב העולם בקיאין בה וקורין אותה בע"פ וא"נ קורין אותו בתוך ספר שלם אבל השתא דבתפילין נכתבה ולא סגי בלא"ה וגם על המטה קורין אותה לבדה הלכך נתנו חכמים השיעור בה לבד

      Yabia Omer 9:23 mentions the issue of writing individual pesukim, but there is also the issue of writing Torah Shebe'al Peh in the exact same format as Torah Shebikhsav.

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

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
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?
