narrow kaf

By -
the kaf of ki is very narrow,in my opinion even a shalas tinok would not help since it is halachacly a nun.

    I would be afraid to pasel this caf so fast. The csav is quite narrow in general, and the gag is wider than the moshav something that takes it far from a nun.
    If I would be asked, I would say shaylas tinok, and (assuming he would read correct) then fix by adding a bit to the moshav.
    But אין לדיין אלא מה שעיניו רואות perhaps in real vision it looks worse?

    Ari great!!
    That is the alef I quoted Sheivet Halevi [in our debate kav mashuch - lamed], an opinion that is machshir such a alef, can not be disregarded.
    Remember?

    absolutely...machshir this now - but if it was just a little thicker and less of a diamond i reckon it would be pasul for all deos

    these parshios are the kind I generally do not like to check since the work of the baal magia here is "find the psul" I referred the owner to his rabbi who will hopefully convince him to purchase a new set(the batim pshutim were very warped and the retzyuos were torn as well).I will post a seperate question on the blog of how to deal with these situations please share your thoughts

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?
