Bizarre! Mezuzah found written in כתב העברי הקדום
Does anyone know the story of this "mezuzah"? Pictures if it are circulating, with people saying it was found on someone's house (even though in the picture it looks like it has never been rolled).
Someone else said they saw it for sale in a Judaica shop.
Sounds like a practical joke to me, but there's nothing funny about it.

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?
Note here that the ע is similar to a triangle, as brought in פוסקים.
ReplyDeleteNot a complete circle as in the previous posts.
Thank you for the picture.
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a few different versions of Ktav Ivri, for instance, the Aleph in this diagram (looking like an F) is clearly not the Ox shaped letter that is accepted to be the Aleph of Ktav Ivri. The best resource I've seen exploring this topic within Chazal is Rabbi Kasher's Ktav Hatorah VeOtiotea (it might be part of the new edition of his Torah Shelema) and he brings this coin too.
@yisroel "Note here that the ע is similar to a triangle, as brought in פוסקים." Which poskim are you referring to?
חידושי הר"ן and שו"ת הרדב"ז ...
Deleteas brought in אנציקלופדיה תלמודית also in כתב התורה ואותיותיה which you mentioned.
