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
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?
In most of the above KHAFS it's the width of the ROSH vs. the MOSHAV that confuses. Most have a CHALLAL and are Kasher. Others, if you're in doubt should be shown to a Tinok. However, the one of La'avotekhem is like a RESH - and is PASSUL.
ReplyDeleteActually there are 2 very reliable sochrim who sell most of this sofer's mezuzahs and they are checked by their reliable magiim and the vast majority make it through hagaah. The sofer is an ehrliche ben Torah who learns part day. He does have his issues, including the chaf and has improved and takes hearos seriously. He writes a lot, mostly 10cm and a small amount of 7cm (he used to only write 6cm). I personally don't think the chaf in la'avoseichem is pasul.
ReplyDeleteI will email you privately re some of the issues with these mezuzos, since you know the sofer and he sounds legit perhaps you could consider presenting my concerns to him
DeleteHow can an "Ehrliche Ben Torah" write a mezuzah that looks like that?!
