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 received this question via email. I am not really a klaf expert, I was wondering if anyone could answer this question: Dear Rabbi Gutnick, I am writing to you because a good friend of mine has put the idea into my head that the klaf in my tefillin were not really tanned and therefore are not kosher. He referred me to Megilla 19a re diftera. From the research that I have done so far, it seems that the klaf that is used today is tanned only with a lime wash. On all of the tanning websites I’ve seen so far, they say that the lime doesn’t accomplish tanning but only the removal of the hair and some other pre-tanning effects. Would you be able to explain to me or refer me to a website that explains how the tanning process that is used today takes the hide out of the category of diftera? Thank you very much.
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?

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

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
