first time I've seen this...
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 ...
Is there revach at the end of shema before it?
ReplyDeleteSame as normal
ReplyDelete500 years ago most Ashkenazi tefillin were like this.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there a minority de'ah that is noheg to write ALL of the parshiyot as petuhot? I know I've seen in before (maybe in the MB) but I can't recall offhand...maybe there is a way to machshir, the ktav is beautiful, chaval to put it in the geniza :*-/
ReplyDeleteיעשה כל פרשיותיה פתוחות חוץ מפרשה אחרונה הכתובה בתורה שהיא והיה אם שמוע שיעשנה סתומה ואם שינה פסול.
ReplyDeleteויש מכשירים בכולם פתוחות (מהר"ם פאדו"ה סימן פ"ז בשם אורחות חיים ובית יוסף בשם העיטור).
ובמדינות אלו נוהגים אף פרשת והיה אם שמוע בראש השיטה כשאר הפרשיות.
MB does say that this is only b'dieved, however.
Dov Ber, thank u for citing ;-)
DeleteReb Eli what's the status of the parshiyot and what's to be done with them?
Who wrote them I think the ktav is very nice
The owner opted to change the last parsha after consultation with a posek

ReplyDeleteWow!
DeleteThis is amazing. Not is the Ram"a completely comfortable with this, but whats more is that it is a Shel Rosh Parshah i.e. not attached to the preceding Parshah. As a result there is not such thing as a real "stumah" anyway!!! See Magen Avraham 32:49, Mishnah Berurah 32:36 S"K 155, Shu"A Harav 32:54.
Furthermore, it is on precisely something like this that the Poskim insist on its acceptability after that fact "shelo le'hotzi laaz al Ha'rishonim"!!!
I feel like this is a classic, yet unfortunate, case in which the fact that we are not as poor as they once were facilitates us being "machmir" on a whim. In truth, all there is are Halachik guidelines. According to the Halachah these are perfectly acceptable.
Eli, I would be very grateful if you could find out what was the Rational of the Posek for laying to rest this beautiful Parshah.
Perhaps I am misguided.
Thanks.
Well they would only be kosher B'Diavad. According to many opinions(Rav S.Z. Auerbach and Rav Ovadiah Yosef come immediately to mind) it is forbidden to make a Baracha over B'diavad tefillin or mezzuzot.
DeleteWhat would be the point of having Tefillin that you couldn't say a Bracha on?
