- Q. See question above. Does the youngster have to be holding the chumash in his hands the whole time? Thanks you so much for answering promptly and so clearly all our questions.
Hashem bless you!
A. Igrois Moishe (O’H, 2: 18) rules that when saying Amida one should place the chumash in a surface or table in front of him. The common custom is also for the youngster to place the chumash likewise.
