Q. In a large shul that has the tradition to take out all the Sifre Torah during Kol Nidrei and honor the people who contribute to the institution, can they also take out the Sefarim that are not Kasher?
Since they do not want to insult the people receiving those Sefarim, can they disguise them as kasher, just leaving a small sign for the Gabaim to know when they are placed back?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that it is devious and not a proper conduct to do the above, even if it creates a loss of income for the shul.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller and Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu and Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit'a.
