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 ...
How can a person who looks religious defraud the public?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it is fraud since he is very open about his methods. He believes it is kosher. He tells people. I can't imagine he has too many takers for his megillos and sifrei Torah. Maybe for a ketores?
DeleteMuch worse are the many people doing this and many other fraudulent activities and disseminating them into the mass market by selling them to wholesalers and retailers but pretend they are written like regular Sta"m.
Please be aware that this method is approved of, and advocated by, HaRav Yitzchak Abadi of Lakewood. He has a detailed Teshuvah on it in his Ohr Yitzchak, Volume 1, Yoreh Deah 53.
DeleteYitzchak Abadi is famous for cooperating with this kind of crooks. Everyone prohibits printed STAM and nobody approves of it.
Deleteמזדעזע!!
ReplyDeleteI wrote the following about silk screen "Torahs" in my book, Sefer Torah: Divine Protection and Unity

Printed and Silk Screened Torahs
"A Torah that was printed is invalid since it is not considered as a writing and the mitzvah is to write a Sefer Torah (like by all STa”M). Similarly, a Torah written using a silk screening process is invalid just like a printed Torah since a sofer did not write it by hand. A Sefer Torah written by a robot is similarly invalid."
