A little ink smudge inside the Reish

By -

 




A little ink got smudged in a bad place - inside the Reish. Can this be a shinui tzura to Hei? The smudged ink is rather small but I’m curious to know your opinions.

      Thank you
      They are two small dots, the upper right one is darker while the other one is less dark. It was a smudge that happened while I was writing the next words. My biggest concern is if there is a shiur to be considered a little yud of a Hei - although each dot is very small by itself.

    By the way, I got a psak leheter because the smudge is two dots, and one of them is actually just out of the area of the roof. Question then becomes if the two small dots can be mitztaref lehumra, but apparently we don't say that. I was told that there's discussion is regards to joining two dots lekula - I'm interested if anyone has more info on that.
    I was encouraged to make a Sheilas Tinok to be extra sure, and it resulted in it being indeed a Resh, not Hey.
    Thank you and git voch

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...
