    Heshy this "hechsher" has been around for more than a few years, it's an abomination and outright fraud.

    Consumers (via rabbis and the mainstream jewish educational avenues) simply need to be taught that sadly the industry is rife with fraud, many of the shopkeepers have no idea what they are buying or selling, and the only way to be sure you are buying something kosher is to purchase from a reliable and ordained sofer / magiha who HAS CHECKED THE ITEM HIMSELF.

    These mezuahs are b'chezkas psul. This "hechsher" has been around for decades. The Rabbanut, Edah, Misheres STaM and the like are the ones to inform the public and try and stop this.

    I believe I discuss this type of "hechsher" in my book and may even have pictures. I also made a poster titled "frauds and scribbles" to share when I do a campaign, showing samples of these so called hechsherim and samples of the "ksav".

    Many were packaged by a bearded jew in Boro park

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 ...
