Is the Dalet of the word "Yadcha" still valid - or is it more like a wide Zayin?...
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
It still is more to the left side by a small amount.Ask a tinok.
ReplyDeleteit's likely a tinok but ask a moreh horaah first.
ReplyDeleteWhy ask a moreh horaah? What better example of a shaylas tinok could there be??
ReplyDeletebecause it may be possel straight up i.e. not geder shailos tinok. Sometimes you need a posek to establish the geder prior to asking a tinok...because if its mamash possul a tinok doesn't help, although in this case I'd be inclined to say it could just squeeze in as a shailos tinok...
DeleteFor most sofrim and some magiim, most often, not just sometimes, a posek should be consulted to determine a shailas tinok. A slight variation can make the difference of kosher or pasul and we don't want to ask a tinok when it's not called for.
ReplyDeleteRav Friedlander told me b'shem Rav Elyashiv that it's proper to as a chacham to determine if a shailas tinok is called for.
