Is the Khaf sofit in 'vaderekh' fixable?
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

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
Yikes. The gug is longer than the regel. No way to fix. The most lenient opinions who are macshir (with shailos tinok) are when they are even or regel slightly longer (provided of course the regel goes down lower like a chof pshutah)
ReplyDeletepasul gamur! I also seriously question if this sofer can be relied upon as it's a blatant and obvious psul
ReplyDeleteWe have examples of STaM from the times of the Rishonim where the Sofer stretched a final kaf. Apparently they considered it kosher as long as the regel went obviously below the line. In any case nowadays we would definitely not accept this.
ReplyDeleteThe bigger question I always have when I see things like this is that it shows clearly that the sofer is an am haaretz, so how can we trust that he wrote anything k'halacha.

ReplyDeleteNo idea, why my things keep posting in duplicate or triplicate. But I apologize.
