Mezuzahs? What are your thoughts.
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

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
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 mezuzot are properly placed.
ReplyDeleteI believe (from how I see the first picture) that the mezuzah is placed in the wrong place. If there should altogether be one it should be on the pillar where one would pass through that they could touch with their hand.
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.
Deleteזה לא בית שער או אכסדרה, כי אין לו קירות כלל מהצדדים, אלא רק עמודים בלבד, והעיקר שאינו משרת כלום
