Question
Is it permissible to distribute verses and items requiring genizah to children in kindergarten or to women who do not observe Torah and mitzvot and will not properly store the pages?
Answer
It is forbidden due to the concern of desecrating sacred texts. However, in a situation where it could lead to spiritual salvation, and through these pages, the woman may come closer to Judaism, leniency can be applied.
