Does this porch need a mezuzah and where should it go?
The bottom nibs are 76cm high
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 ...
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
