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?

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
