Question:
Shalom Aleichem Kvod Harav,
Would I be able to copy words here and there from a machzor into another machzor? and would the din be different if I am borrowing the machzor #1 from someone but who gives me his permission?
Brachah Ve’Hatzalahah,
Thank you very much!
Answer:
You are allowed to copy the words out of a machzor, into your own machzor. The words in the machzor are not the property of the publisher, as they were formulated hundred of years ago by the Rishonim, Geonim, etc. who made the nusach of the selichos.
Hashem should answer your prayers, and have a kesiva v’chasima tova.
