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

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?
Wot?

ReplyDeleteI asked a rov from eretz Yisrael that is involved in stam and batim manufacture told me that the Rama Mipano in his teshuvos brings such a shita and that there are those in Eretz Yisrael that manufacture teffilin like this to be yotzi his shita as the Rama Mipano was one of the chashuvei gurei ari
ReplyDeleteאני לא מאמין שמישהו יגיד דבר כזה !!
Deleteזה נגד גמרא מפורשת במנחות (דף לה) שרק שתי פרשיות חיצוניות רואות אויר ושתי פרשיות פנימיות אינן רואות את האויר
גם הסתכלתי בשו"ת רמ"ע מפאנו סימן קז ולא נזכר כלל סברא כזו
I asked him where it is brought down he didn't remember I told him i think its a Christian thing and he said no there is such a shita
