trying to save these parshiyos...

By -
I have a set of old tefillin which are probably at best only kosher bedieved, however there is sentimental value so I'm trying the best I can to try and keep them kosher, even bshas hadchak . The customer has a better, newer pair but wants to keep these for rare emergency use. Below are three photos with the shailos:


1) the yud in uvisharecha. the kotz RT is not quite as long as the right regel, besides both are very short - not really a ches. Are these reasons to be meikel?

2) the nunim if veshinantom and hotziyonu. Definitely something is there protruding, is it enough to fix or is it a nun hafucha?

Would appreciate Reb Moshe's opinion please.

PS The revach from the extra word has holes in it....
PPS Very politically correct sofer, obviously likes both the Arizal and beis Yosef so much he couldn't decide which ksav to write....

    בנוגע ליו"ד שאלת תינוק ואחר כך אפשר לתקן רגל ימין
    אבל בנוגע לנוני"ן לא מקובל להכשיר - השכל אומר שאם תינוק יקראנו אפשר לתקן הראש. אבל זה נגד המנהג
    עשה כהבנתך

    Regarding the yud, do I cover the other letters or not?

    בנוגע לשאלת יו"ד עיין אגרות משה או"ח א סימן י"א שיכול לתקנו כיון שלפי המידה הוא קצר מרגל הימין, וגם בהמשיך הפרשה ראינו שהוא יו"ד ולא חי"ת. ולתינוק ודאי הוא יו"ד

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?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

By -
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 ...
