Door post
Does this second door post immediately to the left of the mezuza ALSO require a mezuzah?
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

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?
Question to Yosef Chaim B
Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן. Nor are we interested in those who said to use עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is דיו עשן of good quality that does not ...
Assuming that the brown door near the clock is the front door, then yes
ReplyDeletewithout a bracha
ReplyDeleteYes.It is a tzuras hapesach and is not covered by the nearby mezuzah. As Dovid mentions, a bracha is not made since there is no door.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, even if there is no left "doorpost"
ReplyDeleteI would like to point out a different point. The Mezuzah in the picture is too high up. The place of a Mezuzah lechatchila is at the bottom of the shlish Haelyon. Bedievid, it's kosher up to a tefach from the mashkof. In the case of a rounded mashkof like this one, there is a Machlokes rishonim regarding where we measure from.
ReplyDeleteLmaaseh, most of the world goes like the opinion that you measure from the place where "efshar lerabos dalet tefachim". The Rambam disagrees and says the mashkof begins fromt he place where it begins to curve.
Everyone agrees that if you can put the Mezuzah in a place that is kosher according to all opinions, you should.
This Mezuzah is certainly within one tefach of the Mashkof according to the Rambam and should be moved down.
Thanks alot!
