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?
Question to Yosef Chaim B
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 ...
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...
