A place for English speaking sofrim (scribes), magihim (examiners), rabbis and vendors of Stam (Torah, Tefillin and Mezuzah scrolls) from around the world to communicate, share ideas, ask questions and offer support and advice.
I just want to point out: your original assumption has logic in it.
Your question now too is logical.
My question is: on which SOURCES do you base your assumptions:)
Things in Halacha and in this field especially do not always follow the organic logic that we come up with.
The Yerushalmi in Berachos which discusses a nun and a vov touching is a prime example of a case in which it might have been acceptable as a teis - were it meant to be a teis - but can be scraped apart - were it not meant to be a teis.
One who learns the Shut of Acharonim will find such patterns in numerous places:)
yes see mahrshag (its one of the first simamim) when chaf is close enough to vav it can be used as chaf vav or corrected to be used as mem. he brings a similar situation with a line in the lungs that must have 5 compartments can be counted either way

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
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?
If this would be a Tzadik P'shuta, would it be Kosher?
ReplyDeleteEven if it would be... on which sources do you base the assumption that its a two way street?
DeleteIs there such a thing as one Tzura being kosher as two different Osios?
