Does this porch need a mezuzah and where should it go?
The bottom nibs are 76cm high
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?
נראה לי שפטור לגמרי
ReplyDeleteBecause the porch isn't chayev or because it's not a tzuras hapesach?

Pillars that support the roof do not require a mezuzah.

I think that what Rabbi Weiner is saying is that this is a combination of a doorway and two side windows. The doorway has no side-posts because the windows combine with it. The "pillars" are edges of a window, not a doorway; you can't walk along them.
DeleteIn my opinion it needs a mezuza as a bais shaar. The pillars are not only for holding up the roof they are to give the porch an enclosed look. If the lower part is ten tefachim high the mezuza would go on that part if not the mezuza would go on the top third. pische tshuva discusses this situation and brings siddur derech chaim. sorry I do not have the address in front of me
