Siyum Sefer Torah

By -
My Yeshiva had dedicated a new Sefer Torah in memory of Rabbi Sam Menlo (Of Blessed Memory) a major founder of the yeshiva.

One of my Rabbeim asked if I wanted to fill in a letter for the event and I asked my friend there to take a video of me filling in the letter. 

I was so nervous I accidentally said "Kosev" instead of "Kotev" (Although does not make a difference after the fact)

    Looks good. Interesting that hes finishing without the eitz chayim attached. Does everyone wait for itvto be sewn before starting the parade?

      Interesting...

      Could it be that today it is relatively standard practice for people sew on the atzei chayim before finishing the last letters because the sefer is considered halachically complete even with unfilled osiyos challolos?

      Could it be that today it is relatively standard practice, that the one actually making the Siyum doesn't know how to sew it? 😉

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?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

By -
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 ...
