Door post

Does this second door post immediately to the left of the mezuza ALSO require a mezuzah?

    Assuming that the brown door near the clock is the front door, then yes

    Yes.It is a tzuras hapesach and is not covered by the nearby mezuzah. As Dovid mentions, a bracha is not made since there is no door.

    Agreed, even if there is no left "doorpost"

    I would like to point out a different point. The Mezuzah in the picture is too high up. The place of a Mezuzah lechatchila is at the bottom of the shlish Haelyon. Bedievid, it's kosher up to a tefach from the mashkof. In the case of a rounded mashkof like this one, there is a Machlokes rishonim regarding where we measure from.

    Lmaaseh, most of the world goes like the opinion that you measure from the place where "efshar lerabos dalet tefachim". The Rambam disagrees and says the mashkof begins fromt he place where it begins to curve.

    Everyone agrees that if you can put the Mezuzah in a place that is kosher according to all opinions, you should.

    This Mezuzah is certainly within one tefach of the Mashkof according to the Rambam and should be moved down.

דיוחנן - kosher rapidograph ink.... Experiences or comments pls

By -

I recently tried this kosher ink for my rapidograph and I am extremely pleased with it. It does not clog the nib like other kosher rapidograph inks, and it's very dark and strong. It's at least as good as the Rotring commercial grade rapidograph inks (of course these can only be used with batch numbers that have been lab tested and  approved kosher),  and in addition you do not need to add a drop of regular Sta"m ink (as per the instruction of the Shevet Halevi, which is messy and time consuming).  I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion or comments with regards to their experience with this ink...

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?

The OK's Hechsher on STa"M....Will it work?

By -
In today’s day and age, virtually every kosher product available to the consumer comes with a hechsher. By hechsher, I mean an official and recognised rabbinical body or agency that certifies the kashrus of a product, be it a food item or a religious article. Hechsherim play a vital role in providing consumer confidence, and something branded by a reputable kashrus agency will be considered more legitimate than a similar product that does not. The agency has rigid policies and protocols in place to ensure correct standards are met, and they are independent of the manufacturer so that there is no conflict of interest. As we have discussed on this forum previously, there is a distinct lack of official hechsherim on Sta”m products - Tefillin, Mezuzos and Sifrei Torah. Even the Vaad Mishmeres Sta”m, the oldest and most well- known rabbinic agency in the Sta”m world does not certify products. They test and ordain sofrim and magihim (examiners), offer a computer checking service (sp...
