Question

I wanted to include a verse in Mishloach Manot. My question is, how many words from the verse make it subject to Genizah? For example, a verse like: 'and I will pour... blessing until there is no more!' Does this make the text subject to Genizah? Thank you for your response. H.K. Modiin Illit

Answer

Hello,

Three consecutive words require Genizah.

Therefore, the example you provided requires Genizah.

However, you can write 'and I will pour blessing without measure', as then there are not three consecutive words.
