גימ"ל - ללא ראש

By -
הגימ"ל הראשון [גבלך] אין לה ראש אמיתי. אמנם יש בה בליטה הניכרת, אך עיקר ראשה שוה לירכה, ואין זה נחשב לראש העובר על הירך, כפי שמבואר בב"י שראש הג' כזיי"ן שצ"ל עובר על הירך היטב (גם העושים צורת ראשה כוי"ו, אינם חולקים על פרט זה שצ"ל הראש עובר היטב). ולכן חייב לתקנה [ואני חושש לפסלה עד התיקון משום חסר ראש, ושינוי צורתה]

    I fail to understand, to me it looks like it has a distinct rosh...

    Both gimels have the same problem. Or only the first one?

    Rav Moshe is referring to the first one.

    Not sure I understand. If there is שינוי צורה, doesn't fixing it constitute שלא כסדרן ?

      אני חושש לפסלה משום שהוא גולם, ולכן מציע שיש לתקן הראש. ותיקון הראש מותר, אע"פ שיתכן שהיא פסולה בלעדי התיקון כמבואר בכמה אחרונים בנוגע לתיקון הגלמים

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 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
