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
Note here that the ע is similar to a triangle, as brought in פוסקים.
ReplyDeleteNot a complete circle as in the previous posts.
Thank you for the picture.
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a few different versions of Ktav Ivri, for instance, the Aleph in this diagram (looking like an F) is clearly not the Ox shaped letter that is accepted to be the Aleph of Ktav Ivri. The best resource I've seen exploring this topic within Chazal is Rabbi Kasher's Ktav Hatorah VeOtiotea (it might be part of the new edition of his Torah Shelema) and he brings this coin too.
@yisroel "Note here that the ע is similar to a triangle, as brought in פוסקים." Which poskim are you referring to?
חידושי הר"ן and שו"ת הרדב"ז ...
Deleteas brought in אנציקלופדיה תלמודית also in כתב התורה ואותיותיה which you mentioned.
