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'm away at the moment but his address should be in the front of his sefer. I find, however, that the best way to get a response from the Israeli poskim is to call them during their "open" hours (They have set hours when they are available to the public).
ReplyDeleteI haven't called Rav Stern in close to 15 years but then he was very accessible during his limited phone hours. However, he can only take a few quick shailahs and give short answers. If one wants a proper teshuva you'd have to write to him and hope he is able to respond. You'd need to include an SASE.
ReplyDeleteWhile on the subject, has anyone recently written to Rav Chaim and gotten a reply? I sent a letter back in May and haven't heard back. No doubt he's flooded with letters and his time is limited. I asked someone in Bnai Brak to ask him one of my 10 or so shailahs I sent him and hope he can and gets in.
Good luck with that
