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
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?
Technically probably a שאלת תינוק, but I would hesitate to be machshir even with a Tinok because a protrusion on the top right signifies a ד whether upwards or righwards (see פתשגן הכתב mentioning the Gemara about תגיה דדל"ת). But in this case the severe roundness of the letter in general might be a mitigating factor.
ReplyDeleteit seems to me that a kosher reish was written. a giant negia happened.had this been an aguna we can be metzaref the smak that once a letter was written kosher it cannot become pasul. However i am sure that if you check this parsha carefully you will find a psul.check all the dalets if they are not zeins and vise versa
ReplyDeleteThere was no negia. The sofer clearly has/had a problem with writing Reish's this way. I was shown 2. One was ok and this one I wouldn't be machshir unless told otherwise by an posek mumcheh.
