Your thoughts? (2nd Zayin- mezuzos/ Dalet of ledaber)
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 ...
The second zayin looks a bit like a nun-sofit to me. The dalet of לדבר looks like a dalet, although it looks a bit more like B"Y than Sepharadi.
ReplyDeleteThe second zayin of Mezuzot is long, but the foot does not reach the disqualifying length of 3 kolmosim. As such, in this case, we have a safek of how it will be read, so we must show it to a tinok. If read as a ZAYIN we may go ahead and scrape a bit of the length. If not, Passul.
ReplyDeleteThe Daleth does not look like a Zayin. Kasher
The Boro Park poskim would passel the zayin but alow the daled (proob with tinok).
ReplyDeleteThe Yerushalmi poskim would passel the daled and allow the zayin (prob with tinok)
Rav Friedlander was machshir the Nun. No tinok required. He said the Dalet required a tinok and if he was machshir, it was kosher "bedieved shebedieved".
ReplyDelete"Rav Friedlander was machsir the nun", that means that the zayin is passul?
ReplyDeleteIf the daled is kosher, i think the vav of uv'lechtecha would be a kosher raish or at least a shaalas tinok.
The zayin looks like its the same length as the nun of תתן
ReplyDeleteWhoops! machshir the Zayin! Thanks for catching that!
ReplyDeleteThe nun of תתן is longer and goes down lower than the surrounding letters. Also, note one these pictures are from different ksavim.
ReplyDeleteVav of uvlechtcha is a ST at worst. I think it just makes it.
