chof kfufa

By -
The chof of lavoseichem and y'mechem. This is a mezuzah I see often which is very basic but sold by a reputable supplier. But are these chofs OK?

    In most of the above KHAFS it's the width of the ROSH vs. the MOSHAV that confuses. Most have a CHALLAL and are Kasher. Others, if you're in doubt should be shown to a Tinok. However, the one of La'avotekhem is like a RESH - and is PASSUL.

    Actually there are 2 very reliable sochrim who sell most of this sofer's mezuzahs and they are checked by their reliable magiim and the vast majority make it through hagaah. The sofer is an ehrliche ben Torah who learns part day. He does have his issues, including the chaf and has improved and takes hearos seriously. He writes a lot, mostly 10cm and a small amount of 7cm (he used to only write 6cm). I personally don't think the chaf in la'avoseichem is pasul.

      I will email you privately re some of the issues with these mezuzos, since you know the sofer and he sounds legit perhaps you could consider presenting my concerns to him

      How can an "Ehrliche Ben Torah" write a mezuzah that looks like that?!

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?
