Would any one consider the vuv of the Shem to be OK?
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?
Question to Yosef Chaim B
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 ...

Count me in.
ReplyDeleteI don't even see a Safek.
To me this looks like a kosher zayin, it has a real yetziah to the right as a result of the missing dio. Why is this not a zayin?
ReplyDeleteBecause to the first glance of the eye it looks like a vov. You only see the blita on the right after its magnified and studied closely. At worst it's a shailos tinok
DeletePS when you fix it you need to make sure you go from the regel up to the rosh. If you go in the other direction, you may make it worse during tikun
Deletecan you post a better image with a more straight on view?

ReplyDeletelooks like a Mordichi/Sefer Yeryim zayin, wouldn't let it go even with a tinok
ReplyDeleteBecause you are looking at a high res magnified image much larger and more detailed than the real life image.
DeleteAcc to Rav Friedlander, the only posek I got a straight answer from, you can only judge from a high res enlarged image on computer if you know how to translate it in your minds eye as to how it would look in real life
Exactly! When I receive shailas by e-mail I often downsize the image to as close to original size since enhanced sizes often change the appearance for better or worse. Sometimes I tell the person that I can't judge without seeing the original size so give guidelines to help them decide based on looking at the original.
DeleteYes but original size won't be as clear as real life. You need to find the balance, it takes a lot of experience, including how to factor in if a picture is dark or light or blurry or crooked...
DeleteYes, I'm aware and when I feel that I can't judge from an image I let the person know and in some cases may ask for a better image or different angle. I'm no Rav Friedlander but do feel confident in answering most shailos e-mailed to me.
