Cleaning Books for Passover
Question
Hello,
I wanted to ask the esteemed rabbi if it is permissible to use reading and holy books that are used throughout the year during Passover?
Is there a difference between those that are used while eating and those that are not?
Do we need new books for Passover?
Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
If you are not careful throughout the year and eat with the books, there is a disagreement among the poskim (halachic authorities) whether they require checking or not.
Even according to those who are lenient, one should be careful not to eat with them during Passover and not to place them on surfaces where food is placed, such as the table and countertops.
