All of the sources I mention, starting ...Hi Melech,<br />All of the sources I mention, starting with Megilah 27a, view a scroll/book which includes texts of varying holiness as though it was a combination of separate segments, not a composite. In other words, a siddur containing pirkei tehillim as well as tefillos is viewed as a book of tehillim and a book of tefillos. The only reason this is not a halachic problem is that it is considered "impossible", in the words of the gemara, to include the multiple parts together in a way that will satisfy the hierarchy of kedushah.<br /><br />Therefore: Where it is possible to satisfy the hierarchy, as in a case of separate books, we are required to do so.The Rebbetzin's Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977193945074906534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416532152940833119.post-1622228385985098652012-07-12T09:38:47.416-04:002012-07-12T09:38:47.416-04:00what's the source for not placing a printed si...what's the source for not placing a printed siddur on top of a printed book of tanach when the siddur contains pesukim as well?Melechnoreply@blogger.com
