Question
Lichvod Ha Rav,
My family recieves the Jewish Newspaper Hamodia. The paper includes divrei Torah and pictures of Rabbanim, how should we properly dispose of the papers?
Thank you for your time
Answer
Shut Minchat Yitzchak writes that since the newspaper was written as NEWSpaper and not as a sefer Kodesh than is can be put in the garbage bin. If on the other hand the writings are meant to be a holy magazine than it should be put in the Geniza.
