Geniza
- One shouldn’t write Divrei Chol in Ktav Ashurit (block-print font of Hebrew as is written in the Torah). [1]
- Divrei Torah that’s written in any font or language needs Geniza. [2]
- However, Divrei Torah written in mirror image fonts doesn’t need Geniza. [3]
- Divrei Torah written in Brail needs Geniza. [4]
- Divrei Torah written in microscopic font, some say it doesn’t need Geniza, but some are lenient if there’s no name of Hashem. [5]
References
- ↑ Rama Y”D 284:2 writes in name of the Sh”t HaRambam 7 (brought in the Bet Yosef 284) that it’s disgraceful to write Divrei Chol in the Ktav Ashurit since it’s the lettering as the Torah was given. Even though the Tashbetz 1:2 permits writing Divrei Chol in Ktav Ashurit, most poskim hold like the Rambam including the Orchot Chaim (Talmid Torah 1:9), Sh”t Radvaz (quoted by Pitchei Teshuva 283:3), Sh”t Chovot Yair 109, Sh”t Rav Poalim 4:32, and Aruch HaShulchan 284:8.
- ↑ S”A 154:5
- ↑ Kaf HaChaim O”C 154:38 writes that letters that are written backwards making up a Dvar Torah don’t need geniza as it’s not considered letters. So rules the Maharsham 3:39 and Ginizei HaKodesh 11:7 in name of Rav Elyashiv.
- ↑ Ginizei HaKodesh 11:7 in name of Rav Elyashiv
- ↑ Ginizei HaKodesh 11:7 in name of Rav Elyashiv says that microscopic font doesn’t need Geniza, while Rabbi Karlitz holds it does need Geniza.
