ribuah on dakkos

By -
Hi, I hope everyone had a wonderful Yom Tov.

I've always understood that if the thin layer of klaf that is stuck to the underside of dakkos batim comes away or breaks or peels off (at the sides or corners) this constitutes a flaw in the ribuah (even though the actual shape of the titurah is square)m

See pic.


Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this?

I don't work much with dakkos anymore and I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

    אם אתה רוצה תיתורא מעור אחד - אי אפשר לתקן
    אבל אם אתה רוצה לעשות תיתורא משתי עורות מודבקים, אתה יכול להדביק עור אחר דק להשלים ריבוע התיתורא, ויהיה לו דין תפלין פשוטות שלא מעור אחד

      If that's the case, why not just peel off the whole layer from the bottom. Less of an eisek, it peels off easily. Granted, it will also have din pshutim but definitely easier.

      Furthermore, they would still have an advantage over pshutim because the bayis is completely Ohr echod.

    will you still have one piece of titura above and under?
    and this has to be leather that was neevad lshem kedushas tefillin.

      Yes. But not the filler. I suppose we can assume the leather used for the titurah would be nevad lishmoh? Since the titurah elyona is usually the same piece? (I'm not talking about the filler)

    I'm just curious R' Moshe, how could the upper layer on the top of the titurah and the lower layer that goes under not be the same piece? How else could it be formed given that that "folded" piece creates the mabarta?

    sure. but it must be one piece, and not the lower titura glued to the filler and not glued to the top titura.

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 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
