Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
Have you tried calling the airline? They may give you permission to take it on board even with eitz chayims. (Not that this answers your question but it's always the best option).
ReplyDeleteIt seems that one should try the most not to remove the atzei chayim because of the law "ain moridin", and this is considered horada b'kedusha, even temporarily.
ReplyDeleteObviously if there is no option, it probably can be done for the sake of the need of the sefer (see Rema YD 290).
I recall the bnei yona in discussion whether woman can sew on the eitz chaim, brings the rosh that the eitz of the seferr tora in the aron in be is hamikdosh must of been removed each time,and it's impossible that they made the Torah posul each time,therefore he concludes that it doesn't make it posul.
