Megilah 026: Wrapping a Mes Mitzvah with a Sefer Torah
ariel grenberg asks:
(a) how can you wrap a niftar -mes mitzvah with the wrapping of a sefer
torah? why isnt that a yeridah?
(b) and then can you wrap a private mes with the wrapping of a private
sefer torah?
ariel grenberg, yavneel Israel
----------------------------------------------
The Kollel replies:
Dear Ariel,
(a) The Gemara says that wrapping the Mes Mitzvah with a Mitpachas Sefarim
is the means of burying the Mitpachas ("Zu Hee Genizasan"). Since you are
burying the wrapping, not using it, it is not considered a Yeridah.
(b) I do not think you could use a personal Mitpachas Sefarim to wrap a
regular Mes. The reason is as follows.
The Sha"ch and Ta"z (YD 282:11) both say that one is *permitted* to use a
Mitpachas Sefarim for a Mes Mitzvah - not obligated. The Me'iri (quoted by
the Mishnah Berurah 154, comment #21) gives the reason - since the needs of
the Mes Mitzvah fall upon the Tzibur, therefore the Tzibur is allowed to
use Tzibur property for the burial. No such Heter exists for a regular Mes.
The family must buy Tachrichin.
b'Yedidus,
Yonasan Sigler
