Question
Hello, I bind holy books for synagogues. Do the parts of the pages that come out of the book when I drill (to pass the binding thread) require genizah? Is there a difference between a new book that has never been used and a used book?
Answer
Peace and blessings
In a new book - there is no need to genizah the shavings.
In a book that has already been used - it needs to be genizah.
