Shinui Tzura

By -

Got a second Shaila in my Mezuza - unlucky...

Question is if there's a shinui tzura from Lamed to a Samech, which happened by an accidental smudge in the wet ink. The spillage and the base of Lamed are connected.

In my previous shaila I got lucky but this one will maybe force me to scrape the line, which is chaval as I worked very hard in this Mezuza.

Any thoughts? I'm planning to ask a posek when I have a chance but would appreciate your thoughts.

    At least there is no shem and you can scrape the line, salvaging this beautiful mezuzah.

    If you have an electric ink eraser, you should manage to do a nice invisible mechika (although it takes time).

    נראה לי פשוט שמועיל שאלת תינוק. ואם קורא ל' מותר לגרר הדיו מחלל הל'

      תודה על תשובתך. שאלתי ילד בן חמש והוא אמר ל. עכשיו אני מסופק אם יש מקום להחמיר אחרי תירוץ לקולא, או אם אחרי צירות של תינוק, אין כאן מקום להחמיר בכלל. כל טוב

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 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
