Question
In the synagogue, there is a Talmud with a drawing on all the volumes on the outside on the thickness of the pages, and when the Talmud is opened, the drawing is disrupted. Is it permissible to study from them on Shabbat, or is there a concern that opening it violates the prohibition of erasing?
Answer
It is permitted if there is no other Talmud available.
