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
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?
First time I see Lameds with a sharp top-right corner
ReplyDeleteצורת הלמ"ד הזו אינו לכתחילה [בשום כתב, גם לא בכתב ספרדי
ReplyDeleteI've (re)discussed this Rav Friedlander when this matter was posted here some months ago and, as I think I mentioned then, he was very adamant that the widely accepted psak is that, assuming the negiah is suffcient, it is pasul. I can't tell from this image if the connection is enough to pasel.
ReplyDeleteA lamed with a round corner is lechatchila. (see kesiva tama) Many Ashkenazi sofrim put the right tag on the corner making it worse than just a plain square corner yet As a magia, in a mehudar ksav, I will add a little ink to the right to create a new round corner.
