mezuzah placement question

By -
Someone emailed me this (it came as a sideways video, not a picture, sorry)

Does it go on the brick that protrudes near the door or on the metal frame the only way for it to go on the metal frame is on the face of the frame that faces outwards?

    The mezuza should be on the frame facing outward, since the frame is the mezuzas hapesach

    is facing outwards lechatchillah?

    no, it should be lechatchila in the challal hapesach. But this is better than placing it on a wall, that isn't the mezuzos ha'shaar at all [although facing inward].

    Wouldn't the best thing be, if possible, to drill a place for the mezuzah in the hala hapesach?

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always  מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך  . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?

The forum is back online...for reference and research purposes.

 Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the  STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
