Does this porch need a mezuzah and where should it go?
The bottom nibs are 76cm high
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

Klaff Tanning question:
I received this question via email. I am not really a klaf expert, I was wondering if anyone could answer this question: Dear Rabbi Gutnick, I am writing to you because a good friend of mine has put the idea into my head that the klaf in my tefillin were not really tanned and therefore are not kosher. He referred me to Megilla 19a re diftera. From the research that I have done so far, it seems that the klaf that is used today is tanned only with a lime wash. On all of the tanning websites I’ve seen so far, they say that the lime doesn’t accomplish tanning but only the removal of the hair and some other pre-tanning effects. Would you be able to explain to me or refer me to a website that explains how the tanning process that is used today takes the hide out of the category of diftera? Thank you very much.
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
