ה"א משוכה
אני חושב שהה"א הזו פסולה
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
The problem with the above "HEH" is that it arises in us the doubt whether it's a letter "BET." The initial gut reaction when seeing it, is to conclude that this "HEH" has lost its shape and want to invalidate it. However, halakha is clear. It is precisely in a case of such doubt that we must show it to a TINOK.
ReplyDeleteIf this was acceptable as a Hei than the Poskim would have told us clearly - in a case where the regel of the hei was written in the middle of the letter rather than the end - to simply stretch the regel all the way till the end.
ReplyDeleteObviously, that is NOT a solution. Which would seem to imply that R' Moshe is correct in rendering this possul.
As such there is no tikkun either. For the only tikkun available is to scrape and whenever there is a psul in the guf ha'os - scraping would be considered Chak tochos.
Please take a look at sefer Safekot HaSofer - Letter Heh #21
ReplyDeleteI humbly disagree with the comparison to the case being dealt with in Sfeikas Hasofer. He is not speaking of a case such as this where it is so long.
DeleteAs per the above post from YY I reviewed the m"b who writes that if the nekuda is in middle gag should be scratched however if it is at end of line it should be left as is. Nekuda should not be stretched.
