- Q. If one davens (prays) next to a bookcase of Torah sefarim and when he reaches the amida he needs to help support himself a bit by leaning against the bookcase, so he removes a few of the sefarim to be able to have a place where to place his arm and have support, yet immediately after the end of the amida he returns the sefarim to their place, is that permitted?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller”s Shli”a and Horav Aharon Miller”s Shlit’a opinion is that it is permitted.
