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?
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.
