2 Mezuzahs, same problem - Mistake or another minhag

By -
I was given 2 Mezuzahs from one client to inspect both Uvishearechas finish at end of the line.

I was wondering if maybe theres a shita that holds a minhag to do this other than Shitas HoRambam where a parsha ends as a parsha psucha with under 9 yudin.  Its been a long time since I learned Keset Hasofer.

Can anyone share if you've ever encountered such an issue and are these Kosher lechatchila or B'Dieved?

    These mezuzos are kosher lechatchillah and such is the way the stumah is done in many sefardi mezuzos and parshiyos.

    so long as there are 9 large letters at the beginning of the "vehaya" paragraph of course!

    someone who hasn't learned Keses in a long time should not be dealing in sta"m! and definitely not checking!

    As long as there are 9 letters at the beginning, it's fine.(Rambam) 9 Yuds/vavs is also lechatchila. (Many sofrim don't make 9 osios gedolos in a mezuzah)

    The Mishmeres STaM requires one to know the MB and only 3 perakim of the Keses to be a capable sofer.

    To check, the Keses (and the Mishna Brura) are insufficient. In fact, book learning only is insufficient.

    I added the part about 9 large letters because I mentioned parshiyos (tefillin). Definitely need that in tefillin for sfardim

    Yasher Koach Zev M, will take to heart and likely time for a full chazarah... The real problem is those magihim/ sofrim who dont even ask...

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?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

By -
Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן  that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
