A few shailahs
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

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
Shalom R. Yerachmiel,
ReplyDeleteWe can be machshir In both cases.
(1) The YOD lacks the shiur of the YERECH - yet it's permissible to lengthen as we can recognize the shape of the letter.
(2) The CHET - we rely on the roof of the CHET of Rashi, and say that the CHUTRA of Rabenu Tam is not MEAKEV. Should be fixed by widening the HUMP of Rabbenu Tam on both sides. Wait for it to dry, and then carve-out the middle to give it a more proper shape. Not considered to be CHAK-TOKHOT.
I discussed these shailahs with senior talmidim of Rav Friedlander zt"l and one felt that both were fixable to be bedieved and another felt the Yud would be fixable b'shaas hadchak and that the Ches was likely a shinui tzura. (Looks almost like a lamed hitting a Vav.)
ReplyDeleteTo me it seemed keep the Yud is fixable. I was much less certain about cheis...
