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
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 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.
