The Magen Avraham explains that although they don't all have the same level of kedusha, they were only particular about the Torah, which has greater sanctity. However, the Rama in another section writes that a Chumash made with a binding as is customary has equal kedusha to Nevi'im, but one should still be careful about this. | The Magen Avraham explains that although they don't all have the same level of kedusha, they were only particular about the Torah, which has greater sanctity.

In the Responsa of the Ri Migash, he wrote that the law regarding placing Talmud books follows the same rule as Torah books, meaning it is not allowed to place Talmud books over Torah books, The intention when they say "place Torah on top of Nevi'im" refers only to the Torah itself, but the Talmud is an explanation and interpretation of the Torah, not the 'truth of Torah.' You can see this from the fact that it doesn't require ruling lines like the 'truth of Torah,' and from this you know its kedusha doesn't reach that of the Torah itself. Furthermore, it doesn't even reach the kedusha of other holy writings. | ||
Regarding the Oral Torah itself, they wrote that by law it's permitted to place Rishonim and Acharonim on top of Gemara, but some are careful about this. | Regarding the Oral Torah itself, they wrote that by law it's permitted to place Rishonim and Acharonim on top of Gemara, but some are careful about this. | ||

In the book "HaChinuch V'HaMechanech," they wrote: "Children should be educated about the sanctity of holy books, including which book may be placed on another. We can learn from the Rebbe Shlita, who is very particular about respecting books, and often, when seeing a book lying face down or on top of another book, stops to fix it, despite every moment of his time being counted and measured." | In the book "HaChinuch V'HaMechanech," they wrote: "Children should be educated about the sanctity of holy books, including which book may be placed on another.

In the recently printed book "Maaseh Melech," it is told that sometimes, when entering and leaving the synagogue, the Rebbe would remove (or signal others to remove) books from on top of each other, "such as: the 'Haoros HaTemimim V'Anash' from on top of a Siddur. Sometimes removing a Tanya from a Chumash, and sometimes a Chumash from a Tanya. Also removing a Siddur from a Chumash..." | In the recently printed book "Maaseh Melech," it is told that sometimes, when entering and leaving the synagogue, [[the Rebbe]] would remove (or signal others to remove) books from on top of each other, "such as: the 'Haoros HaTemimim V'Anash' from on top of a Siddur.

Similarly, a diary from 1967 records that during Mincha on Thursday, 28 Sivan, the Rebbe stood up and approached the table in front of him, removing a 'sicha' that was placed on 'Yoreh Deah' and putting it on the bench. The recorder noted this was a rare instance of the Rebbe standing during prayer. And in a 1974 diary, it's recorded that on Thursday, 20 Menachem Av, when leaving Shacharit, the Rebbe removed Tefillin that were placed on a book near the water faucet in the 'zal.' | Similarly, a diary from 1967 records that during Mincha on Thursday, 28 Sivan, the Rebbe stood up and approached the table in front of him, removing a 'sicha' that was placed on 'Yoreh Deah' and putting it on the bench.
