A place for English speaking sofrim (scribes), magihim (examiners), rabbis and vendors of Stam (Torah, Tefillin and Mezuzah scrolls) from around the world to communicate, share ideas, ask questions and offer support and advice.
it is difficult to have a correct picture fron this scan. But I guess that the line is not over noticable. And if so - a shalas tinok and fix. If it is nikar to the eye that there is a gag to the right side - it is passul.

In the footnote he writes: אע"פ שהקו דק ממש, ונראה שלא נעשתה כזי''ן, מ''מ כיון שיש ריעותה באות, יש להראותה לתינוק, וכשיקראנה לנכון, מותר למחוק הקו
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
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?

It's dark enough to be a worry. I'm not sure if it's thick enough. It looks like a vov at first glance. I'll do a shailos tinok I guess

ReplyDelete700 years ago that may have been a zayin but להלכה it might depend on the reading of a contemporary tinok.
