Shel Rosh where the compartment is very split

By Dovid Nissan Bressman -

What can be done for battim that the shel rosh compartments are split in a way that it affects the ribua?

Of course, I am referring to those that do not allow any glue in between the compartments whatsoever.

    clamp. clamp and more clamp.

    you can also try shaving off the sides and repainting

    also you can put some foam in the shaidel which means the rosh is veryt snug and tight when inside, acting as a clamp 23 plus hours a day

    and remember the shitos - hat the air between the batim is not counted so if when you squeeze the bayit togetther the ribua is ok its kosher-see ot yatziv

      So acc to this shitta (which BTW is pretty much Daas yochid), if I have a bayis with perfect ribuah and they are prudos with slight gaps (say each chatitz is open .35mm) and then when I squeeze them together the ribua goes off (ie 1.05mm), what is the din please?

    Shaving is the best, if not only, option to repair. clamping without glue is going to be temporary. tightening the sheitel is great to prevent it from worsening. If the gap is very wide then that could be a problem in itself, even if the overall ribua is corrected.

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...
