ReplyDeleteIn the second picture, there is room to exempt from mezuzah, since this pillar structure is an achsadra. Still, many are stringent to affix on the outer pillar, since it is an achsadra leading into the house.
נראה לי שבתמונה ראשונה פטורה לגמרי ממזוזה. ובתמונה השניה היא קבועה נכון.
ReplyDeletepicture1: does it depend if the short wall is 10 טפחים tall?
Deletepicture2: Is there a chumra to put another mezuza on the בית שער
בתמונה א. אם היו גובה הקירות הקטנות עשרה טפחים יש מקום לדון להחמיר לקבוע מזוזה.
