    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...

    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

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

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?
