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.

From the picture it looks like rosh kosel -we put mezuza without bracha.
ReplyDeleteThe second one has a problem since part of the right side is blocked by permanent cabinets,if I understand correctly Rabbi Weiner suggested to put the mezuza on the left side as an entrance to the lliving room .If most entrances(רוב כניסות) are to the living room or if the living room is the more important room(עיקר דירה),or if the living room has the shiur and the kitchen does not(רע"א) then that would be possible.
OK. So what about the first picture? would that also need?
