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?
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
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)
