    To my eyes it does not seem questionable. So much so, that it took me some time until I realized what your question might even be... (I'm assuming that it's a bit wide).

      According to you there is no problem or that it's clearly pasul?

      I'll be honest: I couldn't see the problem...

      This is a serious shaila. I suggested to the customer to replace the mezuzah so I didn't have to pasken whether it was a psul or shailas tinok. My leaning is to pasel. I hope to eventually show it to Rav Friedlander for my edification.

      To clarify, I didn't suggest to replace it to get out of paskening. I meant, I wasn't forced into having to pasken...

      I would say that that's a kaf with taggin.

    for those that are saying it's a She'alas Tinok, do you have to cover the Tagim? To me, after covering them it looks live a safek Chaf or Bais

      Exactly, that's why the Tinok has to decide. You only have to cover the Tagin if the Tinok would be smart enough to know it's a nun just by the Tagin. Which might make him a תינוק חכם anyway

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

By -
Image
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...
