Ksav for someone who davens Nussach Sefard
People who daven Nussach Sefard, do they לכתחילה use Ksav Ari or Ksav Beis Yosef? Or is either completely acceptable by first choice?
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
This is a case by case issue dependent on various factors and each person must consult his posek to find out what's his lechatchila choice of ksav.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience most use Ari
ReplyDeleteMany people only have residual Chassidish customs, such as davening Sfard or more common, just wrapping Sfard but otherwise have no association to chassidus, daven in Ashkenaz shuls, raise their kids litvish/send to litvish schools and find themselves needing to decide whether their kids will also get Ari parshios or even wrap Sfard. At least in the US, this is a relatively common scenario outside of the few communities that have a significant concentration of Nusach Sfard shuls.
ReplyDelete"and find themselves needing to decide whether their kids will also get Ari parshios or even wrap Sfard"
ReplyDeleteI fail to understand why kids should have different minhogim to their fathers. Whenever in this dilema I always get the psak to follow the minhag of the father. I don't see why the need to change a family minhag that has been in practice for generations just because a kid is going to a litvish school or daavens in an ashkenazi shul.
Ask a rav. I do know this is a consideration. What about a boy from a regular family who becomes Chabad or vice versa? You can image the discomfort they'll experience when everyone around them is wearing 4x4 batim, wrapping out without a full Shin on the hand and davening from a Nusach Ari siddur and they have normal size tefillin with BY Shins, wrap the opposite direction/full Shin (and the opposite direction of Sfard) and daven from an Artscroll siddur and vice versa.
ReplyDeleteSam question for Sephardim who are משתאכנז and who took/take on new minhagim/nusach.
מתאשכנז
