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?
The Regel of the Dalet is around 1.25x kulmusim based on it's head. Therefore, it's not only kosher according to those that require the leg be 1 kulmus and certainly Rav Stern and Rav Klein who require a bit less than a kulmus, it's even kosher according to the MB, who requires 1 kulmus plus, which the poskim say is a minimum of 1.25 kulmusim. It is bedieved so it should be lengthened so it's closer to 2 kulmusim.
ReplyDeleteThe moshav of the Nun Kefufa should extend past the rosh both on the right and left side. This is basics.
Also, some time should be invested in improving the Tzadi.
agree
ReplyDeleteTangentially, even were this leg 1 kulmus long it would also be kosher leshitas MB (even though this doesn;t see to be halachah lemaaseh) as he holds that the yerech of a large letter can be measured by the shiur ohs ketana of a beinoni letter, such as the surrounding standard size letters.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, it may be pasul leshitas Mikdash Me'at (ohs ketana is 1 kulmus) as he's mesupak if the din or ohs ketana from the gemara (by ohs Hei) applies to Dalet and Reish (and Rav MS Klein is choshesh for this and requires a tinok as per his sefer Sheieilas Moshe[where he aslo talks about a short regel on a Dalet Rabasi]). (Unless the MM agrees with the Maasaf Lechol Hamachanos bshem Zichron Yehuda and Pnei Meivin that davka by the Dalet Rabasi an ohs ketana of the surrounding standard letters is sufficient with a tinok.
