    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.

    The 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.

    The Daleth does not look like a Zayin. Kasher

    The Boro Park poskim would passel the zayin but alow the daled (proob with tinok).

    The 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".

    "Rav Friedlander was machsir the nun", that means that the zayin is passul?
    If 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

    The nun of תתן is longer and goes down lower than the surrounding letters. Also, note one these pictures are from different ksavim.

    Vav of uvlechtcha is a ST at worst. I think it just makes it.

דיוחנן - kosher rapidograph ink.... Experiences or comments pls

By -

I recently tried this kosher ink for my rapidograph and I am extremely pleased with it. It does not clog the nib like other kosher rapidograph inks, and it's very dark and strong. It's at least as good as the Rotring commercial grade rapidograph inks (of course these can only be used with batch numbers that have been lab tested and  approved kosher),  and in addition you do not need to add a drop of regular Sta"m ink (as per the instruction of the Shevet Halevi, which is messy and time consuming).  I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion or comments with regards to their experience with this ink...

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?

The OK's Hechsher on STa"M....Will it work?

By -
In today’s day and age, virtually every kosher product available to the consumer comes with a hechsher. By hechsher, I mean an official and recognised rabbinical body or agency that certifies the kashrus of a product, be it a food item or a religious article. Hechsherim play a vital role in providing consumer confidence, and something branded by a reputable kashrus agency will be considered more legitimate than a similar product that does not. The agency has rigid policies and protocols in place to ensure correct standards are met, and they are independent of the manufacturer so that there is no conflict of interest. As we have discussed on this forum previously, there is a distinct lack of official hechsherim on Sta”m products - Tefillin, Mezuzos and Sifrei Torah. Even the Vaad Mishmeres Sta”m, the oldest and most well- known rabbinic agency in the Sta”m world does not certify products. They test and ordain sofrim and magihim (examiners), offer a computer checking service (sp...
