Question
Hello and blessings, happy holidays! We bought our 4-year-old daughter a New York doll. What about the prohibition of making images of servants? In the Talmud regarding the image of a person and the image of servants, etc.
Answer
Hello
There is a prohibition against creating an image of a person, and also against keeping it in one's home.
However, an image of a person that is clearly not made for worship is permitted to keep.
But it should be noted that if it becomes slightly disassembled, it is forbidden to reassemble it, as in doing so, you are 'creating' it anew.
