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?
Question to Yosef Chaim B
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 ...
Here the case is not exactly the reverse of the previous posted one. The above supposed Zayins are truly kasher vavim. Unlike the previous case, even if a tinok were to read them as Zayins they would still be considered passul. ONLY if they had a "zavit" protruding at the bottom right, would we weigh in and require the strict reading of a Tinok in order to validate it as a zayin.
ReplyDeleteWhile these Zayins are lechora pasul, they'd be at least shailos tinoks if they were supposed to be Vavin.
ReplyDeleteOf course, if they were intended to be vavim, they would be a she'elat tinok. However, in this case, since they were intended as zenins, there is no she'elat tinok that could redeem them. Shabbat Shalom
