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
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?
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
