Thoughts on this ayin (in a Beis Yosef ksav)?
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

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?

ReplyDeleteWhat's Beis Yosef about this Ksav?
ReplyDelete@ R' Aharon:
DeleteThe Ksav happens to be Ari. But the question of this Ayin becoming a Tzadik could only be in the conext of the Beis Yosef since its not a Yud hafucha.
Correct. The shailo is far more potent in Beis Yosef ksav
Delete@ R' Eli:
ReplyDeleteTo me it seems to be a Shaalas tinok. Based on what do I say that?
The Rishonim specify 2 things to be particular about when writing a tzadik in order that the tzadik not look like an Ayin. 1) to twist its neck back towards the right. 2) attach the right yud to its neck and not to its base.
Our case does NOT have a twisted-back neck and the right "Yud" attaches right at the base. Therefore, while it MIGHT pass as a tzadik, it might actually look like an Ayin!!!
In light of the above this would be the classic case of a Safek in which case a Shaalas tinok is in order.
Thanks. I believe that is the popular psak. As it turned out here, the Tinok read as ayin.
