"Halakha in 60 Seconds": the decisor, Rabbi Benyamin Huta, presents a short, current daily halakhic segment every morning on Kikar HaShabbat, summarizing the details of laws and customs.

And in today’s segment: a law from the rules of honoring sacred books. It is very serious, books must not be upside down. A book placed upside down, whether standing or lying down, can cause problems, and this is a halakha in the Shulchan Aruch. Therefore, check this in synagogues and at home, and pay attention to it. Watch the halakha in the video at the beginning of the article.
