The reish from "Geoffrey" . The Gett was already written and sent with a shliach, and the shailo noticed by the receiving Beis Din. So it cannot be fixed...
By writing "DeMitkarei Geoffrey" this name has the same status as the SHEM IKAR - The Get must be re-written due to the misspelling. see EVEN HAEZER 129
The tinok said it's a big yud and then a little yud. But since the "reish" follows a pay (and ayin) which extend lower than other letters, the child was likely thrown off by that. I suggested the beis Din cover those letters but they said it's such a problematic tzurah they are going to rewrite the get rather tha make a "tinok circus" as 1)the husband was willing and 2) they are dealing with a chshash issue kores and there is no reason to look for leniency due to 1) above...
I recently tried this kosher ink for my rapidograph and I am extremely pleased with it. It does not clog the nib like other kosher rapidograph inks, and it's very dark and strong. It's at least as good as the Rotring commercial grade rapidograph inks (of course these can only be used with batch numbers that have been lab tested and approved kosher), and in addition you do not need to add a drop of regular Sta"m ink (as per the instruction of the Shevet Halevi, which is messy and time consuming). I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion or comments with regards to their experience with this ink...
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?
In today’s day and age, virtually every kosher product available to the consumer comes with a hechsher. By hechsher, I mean an official and recognised rabbinical body or agency that certifies the kashrus of a product, be it a food item or a religious article. Hechsherim play a vital role in providing consumer confidence, and something branded by a reputable kashrus agency will be considered more legitimate than a similar product that does not. The agency has rigid policies and protocols in place to ensure correct standards are met, and they are independent of the manufacturer so that there is no conflict of interest. As we have discussed on this forum previously, there is a distinct lack of official hechsherim on Sta”m products - Tefillin, Mezuzos and Sifrei Torah. Even the Vaad Mishmeres Sta”m, the oldest and most well- known rabbinic agency in the Sta”m world does not certify products. They test and ordain sofrim and magihim (examiners), offer a computer checking service (sp...

ReplyDeleteShaylas Tinok!
ReplyDeleteisn't it obvious that this is a shaylas tinok?

DeleteThe Beis Din is absolutely right--without a "glatt kosher" shalas tinok, חלילה להקל בזה שלא במקום עיגון
ReplyDeleteYes, I know even by Sta"m Rav Friedlander differentiates between shailos tinok lekulah and shailos tinok lechumrah.
ReplyDeleteIf it's not a "glatt" shailos tinok he may only be machshir bedieved
