Q. See question 4302 above. I was wondering Kvod Horav, if even not in Shabbos one may not join the parts of the torn Siddur page when it involves the name of Hashem, and one may be causing the Holy Name to be destroyed when they eventually separate?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that indeed one should avoid the use of a torn page by joining it just temporarily, especially when dealing with Hashem’s different names.

The Rov added that one should avoid using adhesive Scotch tape placed over Hashem’s name, since it is equivalent to erasing that Holy Name as it cannot be usually removed without at least partially removing some of the letters.
