To high for shlish haelyon, Heker tzir
Perhaps these issues where addressed already.
Is there some kind of consensus amongst Chabad rabonim in Eretz Yisroel about: a)How high is too high to put a mezuzah in shlish haelyon.
b) When the only entrance (or entrances) to a room w/o openable windows are against heker tzir, does one put mezuzah against heker tzir?

ReplyDeleteTo clarify question a):
DeleteWhen the pesach is very high and techilas shlish haelyon is to high the poskim say (according to a Mordechai I believe), that one should lower the mezuzah to kneged kseifo, the question is how high is too high!
I remember seeing a deiah that only higher than 20 amos is too high!
Tosfos Menuchos brings yerushalmi (food for thought-is bavli cholek on yerushalmi?)
DeleteIt seems most acharonim accept this yerushalmi as hallacha (included that the bavli doesn't negate this psak)
Deletesee Pishe Shearim pages 208-9 collected all the deos speaking about this, including those that say "lmayle me'esrim amos".
Deleteit seems that tosfos holds that yerushalmi is cholek on bavli
DeleteI didnt look up in the books, but from what I see is commonly the minhag that higher then "cneged csefo" is considered to high - accordingly the mezuza is always at the hight of a regular persons [hight] head.
ReplyDeleteIn any case I dont know of any chabad special minhag or opinion in this issue.
i think the eretz zvi (koziklover rav) discusses this if you have time to search and find please post.
DeleteWe can get in to reb yirmiya type chakira:
what if part of the mezuza is not above head?
if the baal habayis is tall:
in the children rooms:?
I will search in eretz hazvi.
ReplyDeleteThe other notes dont matter, we are talking of common hight of a regular grown-person.
Beis Hastam Yishar coiach,
ReplyDeleteIN Shu"t Eretz Hatzvi siman 90 writes: if the shlish haelyon is opposite ones mans head [he doesnt write this explicit but this is pashut there] we place the mezuza there [opposite a normal mans hight = probably his eyes] if the shlish haelyon is higher than that, we should place the mezuza against his shoulder.
He writes clearly these measures are in regular persons hight.
