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.

ReplyDeleteBecause the last picture is a shinuy tzurah to a ches, whereas the others are only an issue of choser eiver.
DeletePlease note that even according to Chabad poskim(or others who rely on this t"t) there is a difference between the first picture (ayin) which is sofek kav moshuch, and the middle two pictures, which many would argue is straight out kav moshuch and cannot be fixed even acc to the t"t..
I should say - "even amongst chabad poskim" (rather than even according to chabad poskim)...
