Cleaning the Kotel (Western Wall)


Cleaning the Kotel

B"H

This morning, the Kotel (Western Wall) had been cleaned out. Every day countless people (Jews and Gentiles alike) stick their little private notes into the wall and hope that G - d is listening to their prayers and fulfilling their wishes.

Before Pessach, all the notes are taken out and put into a Geniza.
I don't think that someone is reading through all those notes. Lets assume that everything is just put together and taken to the Geniza.
Does anyone have a halachic approach to the fact that there might be notes full of idol worship at the Geniza. Can a Gentile note full of an idol worship religion be in a Jewish Geniza ?
