Separating Pages of a Book That are Stuck Together

Separating Pages of a Book That are Stuck Together
Day: Friday
Date: October 30, 2015
Parshat: Vayera
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 340

In memory of Adam Eliyahu ben Reina and Avraham Asher ben Tzadika

Pages of a book that got stuck together may be pulled apart on Shabbat in order to read from those pages. It is permissible to tear open a bag on Shabbat in order to get to the food inside even if there are words written on the bag. This is permitted since one's intention is not necessarily to erase the words and also since that is not the normal way to erase. It is also permissible to walk on pictures or on words written on the ground with chalk.


DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel. Please visit us online at sephardichalacha.org
