Tikkun for Yud in an Azkara

By -
this yud in the Shem needs an oketz but first-- does it have proper tzura to make the tikkun in a mezuzah?

    מותר לתקנה יש בה צורת יו"ד, רק חסר בה עוקץ שמאל של ר"ת

    I concur. There are those who feel strongly that if the regel does not have a kulmus It's a psul in the tzurah. They envoke the opinion of the Daas Kedoshim who makes such a diyuk in the Alfa Beita.
    I completely disagree as does Rav Weiner in his sefer as well as others.
    I would recommend extending the regel a drop first to avoid any possibility of the uketz which you will add in being the same length as regel.

      also, a tip: it looks like the ink is to watery. Let it thicken a bit.

      Pesach is this your ksav? Kol hakavod, it's looking better and better

    As mentioned, the only issue is the lack of the oketz R"T. Theoretically the short regel could be left as is but to not risk a psul and while at it, to be yotzeh the Mikdash Me'at, extend the regel slightly then add the oketz.

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...
