is there any hope for this tzadik?
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 ...
The way the image is appearing on my screen, it seems as though there is a kav connecting the two reshin, and the bottom is filled with dyo.
ReplyDeleteSo again quoting the Yeriat Shlomo Ot Tzadi seifim 4&5:
נגע הראשין זה בזה בנגיעה דקה וניכרת צורתה, פסולה. ומותר להפריד הנגיעה בתפילין ומזוזות גם כשכתב אח"כ ואם לא המשיך לכתוב, או בס"ת, טוב להחמיר לבטלה מצורתה.
קו דיו עובר בין שני הראשין, פסולה, ומותר להפריד הנגיעה, וכן נוהגים בין בתפילין ומזוזות ובין בס"ת
So it is going to depend on how thick that negiah is. Its hard to tell from the pic. If it is full I think you are in trouble. It is also important to note that according to many Sephardi opinions the separation will render them only Kosher B'diavad, which means according to Rav Ovadiah one is yotzei on putting on Tefillin but may not make a berakah over them.
Regarding the bottom bit seif 14
התמלא כל חללה בדיו פסולה. וכשיש היכר מושב שמשוך קצת לשמאל, יש להכשיר.
Clearly it bottom extends out and so retains its form as a Tzadi, any work there would simply be to improve hidur.
