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.

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 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
