שאלת תינוק

By -
הר' קטנה - דינה שאלת תינוק. [לי זה נראה כרי"ש, אבל בכל זאת היא קטנה, ואפשר תינוקות יטעו בה ביחסה לגודל שאר הכתב].
כמה תינוקות נשאלו, אחר שהראו להם רישי"ן ויודי"ן מכתב זה, וכולם [פרט לאחד] קראוהו יו"ד - ופסלוהו.

    Why was more than one child asked?

    I'm not so certain a child was to be asked. The Reish is correctly proportioned and the oversized Shins surrounding it are confusing to a child. I've discussed this shailah in the past with 2 morei horaah and one said it's fine and the other suggested (but didn't require) a tinok. Also, the Shin next to it is oversized, which could confuse the tinok.

      Ignore the last sentence. I forgot to delete it after I added it above.

    הרי זה דומה לדין של ד' קטנה אשר כתבו הראשונים שדינה שאלת תינוק
    ומכאן הוכיחו האחרונים שאין צריך לכסות מלפניו, כדי שיראה בערך שאר הכתב

    The Reish in comparison to the normal size letters is a little smaller. However, next to the large Shins it looks much smaller. Cover the 2 Shins surrounding it, which gives a false impression when looking at the somewhat small Reish and it looks like a Reish, besides having the correct proportions of a Reish.

    Why was more than 1 tinok asked?

    בגלל שלי היה נוטה יותר שהוא רי"ש, והתקשיתי לקבל שהתינוק יקראנו יו"ד. וגם חשדתי שהתינוק הראשון לא הראו לו יודין ורישין תחילה כראוי,
    במקרה כזה אני נוהג לשאול כמה תינוקות כדי לילך אחר הרוב

דיוחנן - kosher rapidograph ink.... Experiences or comments pls

By -

I recently tried this kosher ink for my rapidograph and I am extremely pleased with it. It does not clog the nib like other kosher rapidograph inks, and it's very dark and strong. It's at least as good as the Rotring commercial grade rapidograph inks (of course these can only be used with batch numbers that have been lab tested and  approved kosher),  and in addition you do not need to add a drop of regular Sta"m ink (as per the instruction of the Shevet Halevi, which is messy and time consuming).  I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion or comments with regards to their experience with this ink...

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
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 OK's Hechsher on STa"M....Will it work?

By -
In today’s day and age, virtually every kosher product available to the consumer comes with a hechsher. By hechsher, I mean an official and recognised rabbinical body or agency that certifies the kashrus of a product, be it a food item or a religious article. Hechsherim play a vital role in providing consumer confidence, and something branded by a reputable kashrus agency will be considered more legitimate than a similar product that does not. The agency has rigid policies and protocols in place to ensure correct standards are met, and they are independent of the manufacturer so that there is no conflict of interest. As we have discussed on this forum previously, there is a distinct lack of official hechsherim on Sta”m products - Tefillin, Mezuzos and Sifrei Torah. Even the Vaad Mishmeres Sta”m, the oldest and most well- known rabbinic agency in the Sta”m world does not certify products. They test and ordain sofrim and magihim (examiners), offer a computer checking service (sp...
