See question above. Can one place a Magazine – Kuntress of Torah articles over a Gemara?
See Talmud Megila 27a and Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 282: 19. Orchos Rabenu (3: 162) quotes Chazon Ish that one may place Rishonim and Acharonim over a Gemara. However, Ginzei Hakodesh (ibid. n. 64) quotes opinions that Sefarim of Acharonim should not be placed over Rishonim. Zichron Yaakov testifies that Rav Yitzchok Elchonon zt’l was very careful on the above. Horav Shlomo Miller’’s Shlit’a opinion is that Torah magazines and Kuntressim, that contain Torah articles in which some items could be inaccurate or incorrect, should indeed not be placed over the Talmud or similar Sefarim.
