ARE NEW CHABAD SOFRIM CROSSING THE LINE

By -
Since many shailos in the STa"M world are forwarded to Rabbi Greenfeld from Mishmeres STa"M He shared with me that he is lately very upset at the new chabad sofrim that are trying to copy every pletat kulmus from Reb Ruven ZaTZa"L:

סופרים חב"ד החדשים כותבים רגל דלי"ת ורגל ימין כמעט כרגל השמאלי של תי"ו, הם בפירוש נגד ההלכה 
יש תחת ידי פרשיות חב"ד עתיקות מאד, ואין בהם שום דמיון כלל כצורת רגל השני של התי"ו שעושים בימינו.


:
בס"ד
כבוד הסופר ר' ..............................הי"ו
הואיל וראיתי במשלוחי שאלותיך, ענינים הצריכים תיקון (כגון פסיעה ברגל ימין כמעט כמו רגל שמאל של אות תי"ו), וכן גם בשאר אותיותיך, אשר ע"כ טרחתי לשלוח לך כתב הסופר של אדה"ז שסידרו הדק היטב הרה"ג ר' משה ויינר שליט"א, וממנו תראה וכן תעשה לזכות הרבים.

    If done properly it should present no shailo whatsoever...

    R. Moshe - thanks for the links. Not come across this before. Why would anyone even want to do this? It makes the letters visually poorer - harder to read and has the potential for a sh'ela.

    Mordechai you are correct. The problem is they are trying to make a specific curve in the foot [known in csav Chabad and also some Russian csavim] and the problem is they are overdoing it.

      Another reason for Chabad consumers to ONLY purchase Ksav Chabad if it has been written (and checked) by a mumchah.

      Thanks for the explanation. They are indeed overdoing it!

    Otherwise stick to Arizal. You can buy beautiful Arizal for the price of the poorer Alter Rebbes (Ksav Chabad) available

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?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

By -
Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן  that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
