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 ...
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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteCould you please explain what you mean by "horned aleph". I don't see any significan Shaalah on the alephs.
DeleteAlso, 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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
DeleteThe Alefs are okay.
ReplyDeleteI don't think a tinok is necessary on the Bais. I can hear asking on the Yud.
