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?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן  that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
