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?
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
Its a nice ksav, however what makes me nervous are some of the nuns.
ReplyDeleteI know its less of an inyan by A'R ksav, but when the gug of the nun is SUBSTANTIALLY wider than the moshav, I fix them. Look at the nun form "nishba" or "levonecha", I would fix them, as well as some others.
Also, Rabbi Yurslavsky once told me that if the eikev of the beis goes up on an angle all the way to the bottom of the gag, it is not mehudar and should be fixed. Look at the first beis of uuveshochbecho (p' shma) compared to the second one. The second one is much better. there are other beises like that too, where the eikev isn't done perfectly. Its hard to see on the screen but if they go up on an angle all the way to the gug, it should be fixed.
Finally, the lower yud of the alef is supposed to have a tiny protrusion to the left. while this is less pronounced than in Arizal ksav, there should still be a mashehu. I notice he does not do it on some of the alephs.
It's a geshmakeh ksav though overall
I should add re the alephs, that even if you follow the Rebbe Maharash's megilla (which we usually don't, we follow Reb Ruvain for A'R diyyukim), namely, that there is no blita on the left of the loer yud of the aleph, Yet the sofer makes the blita 70% of the time, and such a level mezuzah should be consistent.
