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?
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
I find the spacing between some of the words as the biggest anomoly
ReplyDeleteAm certainly not an expert ba'al magia, but visually, this zayin is the length of some of the letters surrounding it (the alef and nun of ani, the ches of zove'ach, and the heys in shem havaya), and thus scans as a zayin. It's certainly within the tolerances where it's a she'elas tinok.
ReplyDeleteIn the vav in the next post, to my eyes, it looks like the length of the regel is 6-7x the thickness of the (very narrow) rosh, and the vav doesn't scan as a vav - the regel descends too far.
(I realize that overly long zayins are very contentious; this is just the theoretical framework I'd construct to explain the difference.)
