Tikkun for Yud in an Azkara
this yud in the Shem needs an oketz but first-- does it have proper tzura to make the tikkun in a mezuzah?
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

shin in "Alter Rebbe" script
Both the Shulchan Aruch Harav and the Mishnah Brurah use similar terminology when describing the importance of the shin being "pointy" on the bottom and all three branches of the letter shin meeting at a point or "chad" at the bottom of the letter. There is a strong foundation in Halacha for this and for the bottom of the shin to be flat like a moshav (base) is considered questionable (Pri Megadim) and definitely not Kosher Lechatchillah. It is worse if the moshav is very wide, but it is still questionable if it is lechatchillah if there is a thick noticeable base rather than a chad. Even for Sephardim, who lechatchillah make an angular base, it is still important that the base is indeed on a (significant) angle. If the base is flat, even if all three branches of the shin come out of the base connected , as in the top picture, it is problematic. It is worse in the bottom picture below where the right head/ branch comes out of the right part of the base and the m
Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher
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?
מותר לתקנה יש בה צורת יו"ד, רק חסר בה עוקץ שמאל של ר"ת
ReplyDeleteI concur. There are those who feel strongly that if the regel does not have a kulmus It's a psul in the tzurah. They envoke the opinion of the Daas Kedoshim who makes such a diyuk in the Alfa Beita.
ReplyDeleteI completely disagree as does Rav Weiner in his sefer as well as others.
I would recommend extending the regel a drop first to avoid any possibility of the uketz which you will add in being the same length as regel.
also, a tip: it looks like the ink is to watery. Let it thicken a bit.
DeletePesach is this your ksav? Kol hakavod, it's looking better and better
DeleteAs mentioned, the only issue is the lack of the oketz R"T. Theoretically the short regel could be left as is but to not risk a psul and while at it, to be yotzeh the Mikdash Me'at, extend the regel slightly then add the oketz.
