    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.

    The 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.

    Tangentially, 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.
    On 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.

דיוחנן - kosher rapidograph ink.... Experiences or comments pls

By -

I recently tried this kosher ink for my rapidograph and I am extremely pleased with it. It does not clog the nib like other kosher rapidograph inks, and it's very dark and strong. It's at least as good as the Rotring commercial grade rapidograph inks (of course these can only be used with batch numbers that have been lab tested and  approved kosher),  and in addition you do not need to add a drop of regular Sta"m ink (as per the instruction of the Shevet Halevi, which is messy and time consuming).  I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion or comments with regards to their experience with this ink...

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 OK's Hechsher on STa"M....Will it work?

By -
In today’s day and age, virtually every kosher product available to the consumer comes with a hechsher. By hechsher, I mean an official and recognised rabbinical body or agency that certifies the kashrus of a product, be it a food item or a religious article. Hechsherim play a vital role in providing consumer confidence, and something branded by a reputable kashrus agency will be considered more legitimate than a similar product that does not. The agency has rigid policies and protocols in place to ensure correct standards are met, and they are independent of the manufacturer so that there is no conflict of interest. As we have discussed on this forum previously, there is a distinct lack of official hechsherim on Sta”m products - Tefillin, Mezuzos and Sifrei Torah. Even the Vaad Mishmeres Sta”m, the oldest and most well- known rabbinic agency in the Sta”m world does not certify products. They test and ordain sofrim and magihim (examiners), offer a computer checking service (sp...
