Priority of Sefarim
Question
Im putting away sefarim but I don't know what can go on top of what and there are so many. And some don't have cover. I know I have to put a sidur on the top but that's all I know. What should I do
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
The order is: Torah on top of Nevi'im, and Nevi'im on top of Ketuvim. After that, the order does not make any difference. The Siddur is treated like the sefarim of the Oral Torah
It is worth mentioning that one should not sit on a bench that has a holy book on it.
