Genizah of the Name of God
Question
Is it necessary to place the Name of God in genizah if it is written only as ה'?
Answer
One should be stringent, even when only a symbol is written to indicate the intention of the Name of God, such as the letter ה' or יי appearing in siddurim as a sign for the Name of God.
