Question for Chabad mezuzah placement - Hekker Tzir

By -
Someone asked me if a security gate leading to an enclosed property from the street opens INWARDS away from the house, does it have the same din as the front door (ie no matter how the door swings it goes on the right), or do we say that since this is not the front door of the house, we follow hekker tzir...

Rabbi Bressman et al, pls comment....thanks

    I have a similar shayla on the door to my gina from the side of my house. Even though it has a gate to the driveway and the street, the door swings outwards. I know for the front door we ignore הכר ציר. However, what takes priority for a gina? הכר ציר or the entrance way? I know the sugya of gina is not so simple in the Gemara there...

    Regarding Rabbi Gutnick's question: It is not clear to the exact description.
    If the door is a security door and it is a front door to an entrance then it is no different than any other front door and the mezuzah goes on the right side as entering the building.

      It leads to a courtyard and the front door is some distance away

    י"ח ניסן, תשט"ז

    במ"ש אודות אופן קביעות מזוזה בגזוזטרא, הרי בכלל בהנוגע לקביעות מזוזה, ישנה הוראה בשם רבותינו הנשיאים שהולכים בתר היכר ציר, וכדעת ראשונים בזה. ומוסיפין בזה ששאלום, ומה יעשו אם כל הדלתות שבחדר היכר ציר שלהם לחדר אחר, וא"כ באיזה אופן יכנס לחדר, וענו ע"ז, יכנס דרך החלון. אבל הנ"ל הוא מלבד הדלתות היוצאות לחצר או לרה"ר. וכדאי שיוודא פרטים מזקני אנ"ש אשר בסביבתו, ושבטח גם להם ידוע עד"ז.

    אגרות קודש אד"ש / כרך יב / ד'רלז


    (ממכתב כ"ק אדמו"ר שליט"א)

    יש * להתחשב בהכניסה צדדית בהיכר ציר.

    *) במענה לשאלה: למנהגנו שהולכים במזוזה בתר היכר ציר מלבד הדלתות היוצאות לחצר או לרה"ר – איך מתנהגים כשיש ב' דלתות לכניסה מהחוץ, דלת צדדית ודלת ראשית. המו"ל.

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
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

By -
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 ...
