Mem Connection

By -
Another question on the Safrut desk:

Is the mem kosher if the leg of the vav would be added? Or is the connection between the chaf and vav of the mem needs to be bigger?

    Shalom Michael. I would write the base of the leg of the vav a bit thicker, and hopefully it will resolve the issue. Here's an example:

      by "base of the leg of the vav", I mean where the top of the leg meets the head of the vav.

    I also uploaded it to my website as a download, so click on this link https://sacredscrolls.net/resources and go to "Mem question".

    Also, if the top of the mem was fully closed, what would the halacha be?

      do you mean, if the roof of the Mem was fully closed, as if no distinction between the rosh of the khaf and the rosh of the vav?

      Yes as if there is no distinction between the rosh of the khaf and the vav.

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
