Comment on Should I Affix A Mezuzah To The Entrance Of My Sukkah? by Ronit

Ronit — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 10:16:17 +0000

According to AISH http://www.aish.com/jl/m/mm/48948731.html, “The entrance must have two doorposts and a lintel, and the entrance should be at least 10 handbreadths high (about 80-100 cm.). If the right side of the opening is flush with the wall, or if the top of the opening is flush with the ceiling, no mezuzah is required.”

The main entrance of our new home has the Hinges on the right side (as you enter to the house) and is Flush-Flat with the wall. In other words all the space of the doorpost is inside or behind the door. How and where can we place the mezuzah?

Thanks you.

Hi Ronit and thank you so much for featuring! Actually, the ghetto of venice offers several food options for such a small Jewish community (about 450 members): besidesGam gam (run by chabad), there are a Jewish Italian restaurant (Hosteria del Ghetto / meat), and a casual dairy cafeteria inside the Jewish museum.

Through my uncle’s DNA test, I found out that my maternal grandfather’s ancestors also were in Spain at the time of the Inquisition. I’ve not yet been able to get any links older than circa 1820, but perhaps someday….meanshile, I’ll be sure to try some of my ancestral food!
