Alef?
1) is it kosher?
2) if its kosher, is there any thing to be gained by scratching?
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 ...
Hi Heshy,
ReplyDeleteIt appears from the picture that the top YOD of the ALEF in the word ET is not truly "stuck" to the body of the letter. Rather, there appears to be three dimensions on the inside such that this top YOD doesn't meet the GUF of the letter in a wedge shaped fashion resembling that of a letter "V."
Please take a closer look to determine if that the above is the case, as the resolution of the picture is not up to par. If there are three sides to the inside of the YOD, then it is evident that this YOD has a minimum YERECH and the ALEF is kasher. There is no need to scratch.
Heshy it's a bit blurry but for chabad you can fix by adding ink (tzemach tzedek)
