redeemable by shailos tinok?

There was a gid on the klaf, which came away.

Now we have this. (beis of yeviecho)



I think that little shpitz (protrusion) coming out of the gug (roof) is enough to save it, and it can still fall into the catagory of a " nifsak shenikkar lehedya" (which may be fixed if a child recognises the letter).

I was wondering what others think..

    I agree based on Shu't tz"tz Orach Chaim Siman 16.

      I'm thinking now that perhaps this one really should be seen live for a proper psak....Too much depends on the size of the image and its hard to replicate in real life even for an expert. And there are some hairs which move around and hard to tell from the image too....

      I agree. That is why I wrote according to what is seen on the image.....

      I have to agree. In order to judge whether this is nikar lehedia or worse it really needs to be seen live. There's no doubt that it's a shtark shaila.

    Hi Eli,
    Both breaks (1) the one on the base as well as (2) the one descending from the roof may be corrected as long as a tinok is able to recognize the letter as it now is.

    Was it just a loose peace of gid rolled in the parsha?

    I should add at this point that the moshav (base) does not have a nifsak, what you are seeing is hair or leftover from the gid covering the letter..

    but the one on the side is a complete break, not covered

      Can you post another image without the hair covering the moshav?

    Separately, because of the thickness and position of the Tag on top of many of the the Lameds, they no longer have a Tzuras Vav. Instead, they look like a Makal, with a flag protruding to the left 3/4 of the way up.

      Remember, it's ksav hameyuches. But I would imagine even the critics would admit these lameds are kosher...

      The Lameds are fine.

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
