Seforim

  • Seforim
  • Korach, Nachshon ben Aminadav

I am considering buying the set of Yalkut Me’am Lo’ez. Is it a reliable set?

  Apologize for asking a non-Halachic question, though it is relevant to Maaseh B'Poel; I am considering buying the set of Yalkut Me’am Lo’ez. However, I realized that many things…

Is it allowed to have a bookshelf of Sefarim in a married couple’s bedroom? The bookshelf has opaque doors and covers all of the books.

  An additional covering is required L’Chatchilla.   טעמים ומקורות: שוע"ר מ, ח שספרי קודש צריכים ב' כיסויים. ומשמע קצת שאין הכריכה נחשב הכיסוי אחד מסעיף ב' שם בענין ספרים…

  • bathroom, film coating, keli btoch keli, pocket, shir hamaalos card

I am making cards with Shir Hamaalos on them. In order that people not be Nichshal by bringing them into a bathroom with one covering, I would like to add a tiny film (a Ma’shehu) that makes it shinier. Would this tiny plastic film covering for the purposes of shininess help so that when people place it in their pocket they have a situation of Kis B’toch Kis?

The definition of Keli B'toch Keli is that at least one Keli isn’t designed specifically for this holy item. There is a disagreement how to interpret the concept of “not…

  • correcting a mistake in a sefer, sefer, seforim, writing notes in a sefer

Is there any issue with writing notes in Seforim?

  There is no Halachic problem in doing so. Gedolei Yisroel of all generations, including the Rebbe, have done so. Some are careful not to write their own Chiddushim in…
