Question on vertical שרטוט

By -
A friend of mine writes mezuzot by placing the klaf on a transparency. The length of the lines in the transparency is shorter than the distance from the right vertical  שרטוט  to the left vertical שרטוט . This results in a blank space being left at the end of each line between the end of the line and the left vertical שרטוט , as seen in the picture below.
How kosher is it?

    I will leave it to the Poskim on the forum to answer your question, but this issue can be avoided altogether in the future by simply adding in new side-sirtut before starting to write.

    Or after. (I believe R' Akiva Eiger writes in a Teshuva that if the Sirtut fades, just be Mesartet .)

    עי' בביאור הלכה סי' ל"ב ס"ז ד"ה וי"א שצריך וכו' שכ' לגבי שרטוט מן הצדדים "ונראה דבדיעבד אין להחמיר בזה אפי' במזוזה". ובשו"ע הרב או"ח סי' ל"ב ס"ח כ' להדיא דאפי' בתפילין השרטוט מן הצדדים אינו אלא חומרא.

    ומש"כ הגרע"א בשו"ת סי' נ', הובא בפתחי תשובה ביו"ד סי' רפ"ח סק"ה, דפסול אם לא שרטט מתחילה ולא מועיל לשרטטו אח"כ, י"ל דזה רק גבי שרטוט השורות ולא מן הצדדים. ומה גם דבנדו"ד שפיר שרטט רק דיש ריוח בין הכתב להשרטוט ולא דמי לנדון שבשו"ת הגרע"א מכמה טעמים. ויש להאריך בכל החילוקים בין שרטוט הצדדין לשרטוט השורות ואיכה"מ.

    Whether this is comparable to no side sirtut as is I'm not sure but the side sirtut can be added afterwards. As R' Eitan suggested, the sofer should make a 2nd side sirtut prior to starting.

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?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

By -
Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן  that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
