    I would ask a tinok on both, and if read correct would fix both. The beis adding ink to square it, and the yud scrape away the smeared ink.

    The horned Aleph of Le'Os (and , similarly, Yotz'im) is not an Aleph. His horns cause problems in general. The right Yud (Hafuchah) of the Tzadik would be a Shay'leh if it were a regular, forward-facing Yud.

      Could you please explain what you mean by "horned aleph". I don't see any significan Shaalah on the alephs.
      Also, what do you mean in reference to the yud hafuchah? I don't see a problem there either...

    AT the top left corner, the Aleph sports a large Makal ("stick") upwards, at least at long as the entire bottom-left Yud of the Aleph. The Guf of the Aleph is situated halfway between the "top" of this character and the bottom. One cannot simply add conspicuous lines to Osios, even if it is not Domeh Le'Os Acheres.

    The Yud Hafucha is a Yud.( For example, if it had no Regel at all, just the "box" of the Yud, it would be problematic.) Although it doesn't carry all the restrictions of a regular Yud (doesn't need Kotz Tachton, doesn't absolutely have to have a rounded top corner), still - adding a large Kotz where the rounded corner should be is - at least - very odd.

      The oketz on the top of the guf of the aleph, while some are a bit larger than others, do not constitute a shinuy tzurah

    The Alefs are okay.

    I don't think a tinok is necessary on the Bais. I can hear asking on the Yud.

דיוחנן - kosher rapidograph ink.... Experiences or comments pls

By -

I recently tried this kosher ink for my rapidograph and I am extremely pleased with it. It does not clog the nib like other kosher rapidograph inks, and it's very dark and strong. It's at least as good as the Rotring commercial grade rapidograph inks (of course these can only be used with batch numbers that have been lab tested and  approved kosher),  and in addition you do not need to add a drop of regular Sta"m ink (as per the instruction of the Shevet Halevi, which is messy and time consuming).  I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion or comments with regards to their experience with this ink...

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?

The OK's Hechsher on STa"M....Will it work?

By -
In today’s day and age, virtually every kosher product available to the consumer comes with a hechsher. By hechsher, I mean an official and recognised rabbinical body or agency that certifies the kashrus of a product, be it a food item or a religious article. Hechsherim play a vital role in providing consumer confidence, and something branded by a reputable kashrus agency will be considered more legitimate than a similar product that does not. The agency has rigid policies and protocols in place to ensure correct standards are met, and they are independent of the manufacturer so that there is no conflict of interest. As we have discussed on this forum previously, there is a distinct lack of official hechsherim on Sta”m products - Tefillin, Mezuzos and Sifrei Torah. Even the Vaad Mishmeres Sta”m, the oldest and most well- known rabbinic agency in the Sta”m world does not certify products. They test and ordain sofrim and magihim (examiners), offer a computer checking service (sp...
