Question
I have accumulated a large number of newspapers over the year, and now I want to organize before Passover and get rid of everything. Most of the newspapers are completely secular, like politics, etc. [Yated Ne'eman, Mishpacha, BeKehila], sometimes they mention some words of Torah with verses, etc. Do I need to go through each page and tear out everything that has verses or words of Torah? Or can I throw everything away? Or should I bury everything? Most pages are completely secular, and only a minority contain words of Torah [on these pages it says at the bottom "This page requires burial"]. Thank you very much!
Answer
Hello
What is explicitly written with a verse needs to be buried.
Sections known to be words of Torah need to be buried.
Other newspapers, where there is doubt that there might be verses, do not need to be buried.
