Studying Your Writings in the Bathroom
Question
Hello Rabbi, I wanted to ask whether it is permitted to study your writings in the bathroom if I view them as something philosophical—the philosophy of the Torah.
Because regarding some things, if I’m not mistaken, you once said that it’s permitted.
For example, is it possible to study the latest column?
This question too was written here.
Meaning, it’s not a joke.
Answer
It depends on what. Philosophical literature, and anything that is not Torah intrinsically, is permitted. In the latest column there are verses and discussion of them.
