Transcript
- 0:00Evolved siphoff bays. I will just mention one word
- 0:03about siphoff Aleph and that is that we were talking about a
- 0:07single Pesach that has a post in the middle, whether it's
- 0:10considered to be 1 doorway or whether it's considered to be
- 0:12two doorways. So one thing which that Mohammed
- 0:16does not say, but it would seem to me Misvara, that this would
- 0:19be push it, is that if there are two mashkraifs, there's two
- 0:23lentils. So then clearly it's 2 doorways.
- 0:26In other words, the entire Suffolk is only talking about a
- 0:30case where you have a single mashkaif, you have a single
- 0:32lentil going from post to post with another post in the middle.
- 0:36So that's where this Suffolk applies, whether that's
- 0:38considered one doorway or two doorways.
- 0:41But when you have two separate lentils on either side of the
- 0:46middle post, so then there's much more of it's ad.
- 0:49It would seem to me to say that that would be considered 2
- 0:52doorways. That's just Misvara, OK, Siphov
- 0:56base, Hasaic herbais Bahutz Lauretz, Bahadar Bopundik
- 1:00Bahritz Israel. That's extraordinarily negay at
- 1:05this time of year in Eretz Israel.
- 1:07And that states as follows. Somebody who rents a home in
- 1:11Hutz Lauretz or one who lives in a pundit in Eretz Israel is
- 1:18Potter MI Mezuzah Schleischemiheim.
- 1:20He's Potter from Mezuzah Schleischemiheim.
- 1:22We'll come back to that in a second, but I say for bias by
- 1:25Eretz Israel, but someone who rents a home in Eretz Israel or
- 1:30an apartment in Eretz Israel, Hayev mezuzum Miyad Misha meshev
- 1:34Eretz Israel, he's Hayev immediately Misha meshev Eretz
- 1:38Israel. Now, a lot of these words are
- 1:40very debatable in what the what the precise meaning is, but
- 1:47let's see. First, let's see the gras.
- 1:49The gras in Sivkotten Aleph says, I'm sorry, I apologize.
- 1:54Not the gras, rather rather the Guillian marshaw.
- 2:00The Guillian marshaw over here in this print, the Simon is very
- 2:04similar. The Guillian marshaw says
- 2:06Hasaika Bias. The Guillian marshaw, as we
- 2:08mentioned once, is not the Marshall.
- 2:09It's your Pslaima Edgar who's also the Masha bias Mashma Dima
- 2:15bias, Shaloy Hayev Miad. In other words, the the fact
- 2:18that the Mahabhar discusses a tenant who's renting a home
- 2:23indicates that if somebody owns the home, so then there's no
- 2:26question that he's Hayev immediately.
- 2:28And that's whether you're in Hotz Lauretz or whether you're
- 2:30in a Aritz Israel. And I was, this is a very, very
- 2:34common misconception. People buy a home in Hotz Laretz
- 2:38and they move in and there's no Mazuza.
- 2:40And you say, where's your Mazuza?
- 2:41And they say, oh, well, I have 30 days.
- 2:43You don't have 30 days if you own, if you're the homeowner
- 2:45says RIP slime megger high of me yad.
- 2:49OK, now another very important of Schlameiger, he continues the
- 2:52Hein hassafer Anna Hayev gamla akashlation yam Kimi dirabana.
- 2:58If you are a tenant renting an an apartment or a home.
- 3:03So we say that after 30 days in Hutz Lauretz Yakayev.
- 3:07In other words, again an owner in Hutz Lauretz is Hayev
- 3:10immediately. A tenant in Hutz Lauretz is only
- 3:13Hayev after 30 days. Now, when an owner is Hayev
- 3:15immediately that's a Hayevde Raisa.
- 3:18When a tenant is 5 after 30 days, is that a day race or is
- 3:21there a Bunan that's only there a Bunan?
- 3:23It's not a day race. It's not Lakui Alma.
- 3:28No, it's not at all Lakui Alma. It's a big Maclachus, but that's
- 3:31the Hakra. It's generally accepted opinion
- 3:33amongst our our training is that the fee of of a tenant is only a
- 3:38fee of their abundant and that's whether the tenant is in
- 3:41Hutzlawritz or in Eretz Israel. Either way, the fee of a tenant
- 3:46is their abundant. So what's an AFG Amina if it's
- 3:48their abundant of the rices? There's a lot of nafgaminas, but
- 3:52one of the most common nafgaminas is that a tenant
- 3:54often moves into an apartment and there are already mezuzahs
- 3:58there and sometimes those mezuzahs are not.
- 4:00According to his mimic Serabal, Yashi was of the opinion that
- 4:04OK, since it's only a fief derabonen, one could be Makal
- 4:07and you don't have to replace the mezuzahs that they be in
- 4:10accordance with your mimic, whether it's Beziasif, Arizal or
- 4:14a result of Beziasif or even spare the mezuzahs for an
- 4:17Ashkenazi rebel. Yashiv held that one can use a
- 4:20mezuzan that Kafim in Hogaye because the fief is only the
- 4:25Rabonen. Now let's just see.
- 4:27I'll be in. I don't know if you have it.
- 4:29Every shulkanar has a different print, but in the necklace V, he
- 4:33says mashma, the afim sakhar habais al Shana tamima Ana
- 4:38keveya hamizuza adla akashlash. Just wanted to see those few
- 4:42first few words. So this is also a tremendous,
- 4:45tremendous maclegas afrinum. In other words, we say that a
- 4:49tenant is putter for 30 days, right?
- 4:52Again, if you own a home, you're hired immediately.
- 4:54If you're a tenant, you're only hired to 30 days.
- 4:57There are many Afrinum that say the Naseebus holds this way.
- 5:01Ravshak interestingly has a piece in Aviyazri where he says
- 5:05this way. And there are a number of other
- 5:07Afrinum that say this as well, that if somebody rents an
- 5:11apartment and you sign a contract for a year, let's say,
- 5:13I think that's the most standard contract.
- 5:16There's a year contract. So then they hold you hive
- 5:19immediately. In other words, because the
- 5:20reason why we say that a tenant is not hive for 30 days is
- 5:25because there's a lack of queers.
- 5:27That's when you own the home. So your kavua right away, the
- 5:30minute you move in, it's your home.
- 5:32You just spent $1,000,000 on this house, you're moving in
- 5:35your kavua immediately. But if you're a tenant and you
- 5:38have a landlord, so there's a lack of a of permanence in your
- 5:43residency in this abode and therefore for 30 days, we're not
- 5:49mahay of you. So there are those that say,
- 5:51yeah, OK, but if you sign a contract for a year, so then
- 5:55there's no lack of, of, of permanence.
- 5:58It's, it's permanent immediately.
- 6:00And therefore they hold that this cooler does not apply to
- 6:03such an individual, whereas many other Akranium disagree.
- 6:07And they say that Khazal do not differentiate between someone
- 6:10who signs a contract and someone who does not sign a contract.
- 6:13And therefore if someone's in this situation, they should ask
- 6:16the local Orthodox rabbi because it is a very big machlaucus.
- 6:19Now we did discuss a pundit. So what, what is a pundit?
- 6:22So there are a number of different the definitions of a
- 6:25pundit, but in common parlance we would refer to a pundit as a
- 6:29simmer or a hotel room. Now if somebody rents a hotel
- 6:33room, so he's putter for 30 days.
- 6:37If somebody rents it simmer and other.
- 6:39OK, let's back up a step. We said that a tenant in Aritis
- 6:44Trail is hive right away. A tenant in Hoods Lawrence is
- 6:47only hive after 30 days. A tenant in Aritis Trail is hive
- 6:51right away. OK, so I'm renting at simmer for
- 6:53four days up north. I'm a tenant.
- 6:55I'm Kayev right away. No, a pundit.
- 6:58You're not Kayev right away. A pundit you put there for 30
- 7:01days and a pundit is defined as a.
- 7:05So again, there are there are different definitions given for
- 7:09it. Some say that it's something
- 7:11that's rented by the day rather than by the month, OK, or by the
- 7:16year, right? So something that you rent, you
- 7:18pay per night, right? So that's a pundit.
- 7:21Others say that a pundit is a place where you have no, you
- 7:27have no Kenyan in the muck him. In other words, if you rent an
- 7:30apartment and you want to hang up a picture of the Bubba Sally,
- 7:33so obviously you can hang up a picture of the Bubba Sally.
- 7:35I'm renting the apartment for a year.
- 7:36I could hang up on the wall whatever I want.
- 7:39If you rent the timber up north and you start hanging up
- 7:41pictures on the wall, right, the guy's going to shoot you.
- 7:44Why? Because it's not yours.
- 7:45You're just renting the histamptious of the mucken.
- 7:49Whereas when you rent an apartment, you're not renting
- 7:51the histamptious of the mucken, you're renting the physical
- 7:53things. That's some of the differences
- 7:55between a punda and irregular cirrus.
- 7:58OK, says there are more who have been the shell bias deny Kasaja.
- 8:04And as let's say your your friend lives half the year in
- 8:09Florida and you're going to be in wherever for a week and you
- 8:14call him up and you say, Schlemme, you mind if I borrow
- 8:16your house for a week? He said sure, no problem.
- 8:18Here's the combination. Make yourself comfortable.
- 8:20So that's a shell. So a shell also is going to be
- 8:23putter for 30 days, right? And as if the guy that you're
- 8:29borrowing from is not religious and he doesn't have mezuzah up.
- 8:32So you put there for 30 days. Hov gimmel hasseka bias Migoy
- 8:37Hayev in mezuzah. If you rent A home from a
- 8:41gentile, you are high in mezuzah says the Shah.
- 8:46Well, after isolation you in the Hutzlarz like like before after
- 8:4930 days in Hutzlarzabehritz Israel Miyad.
- 8:52If you rent the home from an Arab, you hive right away.
- 8:55So what's the fiddish now? We just said this in the
- 8:57previous sift. What's the fiddish that the
- 8:59landlord is is a is a guy rather than a Jew.
- 9:03Camache Milan the lawyer I'm renown cave on Shahabaya
- 9:06Shalaya. You might have a half a minute
- 9:10to say when is a tenant hive in mezuzah when the owner is
- 9:14Jewish. But what if the what if the
- 9:19owner is a non Jew? So maybe the diva is part there.
- 9:22So we don't say that as long as there's no Sakana, as if the non
- 9:32Jewish landlord is going to see a mezuzah and he's going to flip
- 9:36out because he's going to say you're doing kishuv or, or
- 9:40whatever's going on over there and it's going to come to a
- 9:42Sakana. So then you would be part there.
- 9:45But if the landlord is just renting the apartment and he's a
- 9:48regular normal non Jew who's not going to get nervous if you put
- 9:51up a mezuzah, so then you hive in mezuzah.
- 9:55What if the owner is Jewish and it's he he has a deal just to
- 9:58rent out as a rental? Is he hired to put up a mezuzah?
- 10:02The question being asked is that you have a massacre and a sofa.
- 10:05You have a landlord and a tenant.
- 10:07So let's say the landlord does not have a tenant, right?
- 10:10You own an apartment and there it's Israel.
- 10:12For instance, the guy lives in Teaneck, he owns an apartment
- 10:15and there it's Israel. He rents it out.
- 10:17Now, at the moment it's been empty for the last three months.
- 10:21Is it hive and misses or not? That's the question I think that
- 10:24evasive is asking. The answer is that it's Potter.
- 10:26Somebody who owns an apartment and does not live there is
- 10:31Potter from Mezuzah. So for instance, last night I
- 10:34went to Urushalayam because I have a cousin who bought an
- 10:37apartment in Urushalayam and he called me up a few months ago
- 10:42and he said he needs mezuzahs because he has his apartment in
- 10:44Yerushalayim. So I said, well, you know, you
- 10:47live in Lakewood, why do you need mezuzahs?
- 10:51Is anybody living there? He said no, nobody's living
- 10:53there. So this is exactly your
- 10:54question. So I told him it's part they're
- 10:55from mezuzahs. So he called me up two days ago
- 10:58and he told me that his sister-in-law is moving in
- 11:00tomorrow today, right? The system was moving in today,
- 11:04so now he needs mezuzahs because someone's going to be living
- 11:07there. So I said OK, you're right.
- 11:09So I went last night and I put up mezuzahs for him.
- 11:11Are you going to say they're only moving in today?
- 11:14Client Kennievski talks about that.
- 11:16We'll discuss that some other time.
- 11:18But once the point is that as long as nobody's living, so if a
- 11:22guy the issue, no, there's no fee of mezuzah.
- 11:25There's no fee of mezuzah. As long as there's nobody living
- 11:27in the apartment, there's no fee of mezuzah.
- 11:30Last night I made a bracha. Even though the apartment was
- 11:34empty. Of course, it's within a day or
- 11:36two of somebody coming. So a prime Kanewski, I said a
- 11:40prime Kanewski I referenced before, and that's why I made a
- 11:42bracha, because since his refrigerator is there and his
- 11:44furniture is there, and his beds are there, so Prime Kanewski
- 11:47says that within a day or two of the people arriving to live
- 11:52there, one can make a bracha. There's No Fear of very big
- 11:56mistake. People say that once the
- 11:59furniture is there, it's high because the base, it's like a
- 12:02store, it's like a, it's like a Maxan, right?
- 12:04I'm storing 6 beds there and a refrigerator and a dining room
- 12:08table. So I'm high in Mezuza medin
- 12:10Maxan. So that's not correct for two
- 12:13reasons. First of all, we saw that there
- 12:14are those that hold that a Maxan is only high in Mezuza if IT
- 12:18services your home. But over here, the guy lives in
- 12:21Lakewood. The fact that he's storing a
- 12:22dining room table in middle of Urushilayim is not servicing his
- 12:27home. Are you going to say it is his
- 12:28home? Well, if it's his home, then
- 12:30it's not his storage room, says Ribil Yashev.
- 12:33In other words, Ribil Yashev is pointing out that there's a
- 12:36Mahsan and there's Adira. So Yukayev to put a mezuza on a
- 12:41mahsan when it's a mahsan. But this guy bought an apartment
- 12:45in Urusha lion. He didn't buy a mahsan in Urusha
- 12:47Lion. He bought a base dira in Urusha
- 12:49Lion. And no one's living in the base
- 12:51dira. So a base dira that no one's
- 12:53living in is not a base dira. It's Potter, even though it's
- 12:56furnished. Even though it's furnished, says
- 12:58Irfan Kadyevski. But a day or two before the
- 13:00person moves in, then already you can put that's already
- 13:03called tilas Dior and and you can put up a mezuza.
- 13:07So that's what I that's what I did for the guy last night.
- 13:11Boy owns the furniture. If a guy owns the furniture, it
- 13:16doesn't make a difference if he owns the furniture.
- 13:18I'm renting the apartment. If he were living in the
- 13:20apartment with you would be no. So that's a Shiloh.
- 13:23That's a Shiloh. If you have, let's say, I'll
- 13:25tell you where it would be Negea.
- 13:26If you have a from person in Harvard, right and he's renting
- 13:30an off campus apartment. So you have one or two Jews
- 13:33living in an apartment with one or two games.
- 13:35So that's Mama shirts. So that's where you would have
- 13:37the Shyla. So that's what there are more we
- 13:39saw said that the shirts versus Potter, right.
- 13:42So there are those that want to say that maybe on the room and I
- 13:44was let's say the two Jewish guys have their own room in the
- 13:47apartment and maybe that room would be high if that's a
- 13:50discussion. OK, rage pay Zion sif aleph in
- 13:54Hapesa Hayeb mezuzah LMKN yashleh state Mezuzah.
- 13:58By the way, I'll just mention that Rabiruk official Perlau and
- 14:02other place came hauled in the case that I was talking about
- 14:05where the guy has the apartment in the urinal and he does not
- 14:07live there. He's he is Hayef.
- 14:09So I'll give you an example. You have a person he he's a he's
- 14:12a you know, a well off person. He owns an apartment in America.
- 14:16He owns an apartment in arts Israel.
- 14:17He owns an apartment in Florida, right.
- 14:20He goes to all three Yomtiff, whatever summertime and then and
- 14:23he says, you know what, I have an extra 20 million in the bank.
- 14:26I'm going to buy a cabin in Switzerland right now.
- 14:30I'm going to go to Switzerland once a year for two weeks.
- 14:34So he buys the cabin and he pays somebody to set it up for him
- 14:37and it's furnished and it's ready And there's, there's a
- 14:39cereal in the pantry. You know, the the property
- 14:43manager tells him whenever you want get on a flight, it's
- 14:46ready. The linens are on the bed, says
- 14:48a roofing official. Pearlot and others that he is
- 14:52high of not like what I told you before, because they say that a
- 14:56that that a Deira based Deira is a residence.
- 15:00So once it's ready to be inhabited, knows the linens are
- 15:03on the bed, this cereal in the pantry.
- 15:05So that's your residence now, as DIRA doesn't mean I actually
- 15:10have to have slept there. Dira means that it's a residence
- 15:14of mine. So once it's ready now, as long
- 15:16as it's still doing construction, it's part that's
- 15:18the coulee Alma. But once it's ready and the beds
- 15:21are in and the cabinets are in and the refrigerators in, so
- 15:24then that's a residence. The residence is kind of that's
- 15:26what they hope, but we don't we don't pass in that way.
- 15:28Simon rage pay Zain and ASA pezza hyebi mezuzah Aloha aleph
- 15:34aina pezza hyebi mezuzah. LMK mezuzahs humashka if you
- 15:39have to have two posts and a lentil.
- 15:43So there's a shack and a taz over here.
- 15:46Let's see the taz. He speaks it out a little more
- 15:48by Ritas Petour cost of him aina mashkev shadel zakovolov lamala
- 15:52yoshar. So this is just Thomasoid
- 15:54halacha. Ella Evan Nicholas Vevenyatze.
- 15:57Aisha Aina Mazuzi Yoshara. Ella Evan Nicholas Vevenyatze
- 16:00Potter. This is similar.
- 16:03We mentioned this a few days ago.
- 16:06There's something called a Pesach and there's something
- 16:07called a pirza, right? So like in the cartoons when the
- 16:10guy goes through the wall, right?
- 16:12So you have technically it's a doorway, right?
- 16:16Yeah. I could walk through that now,
- 16:17right? It's it's life-size, but it's
- 16:19still going to be putter. Why?
- 16:21Because it's appeared. So what defines it as appeared?
- 16:23So rather than a Pesach, this taz the fact that it's uneven,
- 16:27it's jagged. A regular doorway has smooth
- 16:31posts and a smooth lentil and it's a normal entryway.
- 16:34But if you have a jagged thing knows you have, you know, you're
- 16:39hired Arabs to make you a halal and they come with a
- 16:42sledgehammer and they bust a hole in the wall right which
- 16:45they're walking through. That's how they're doing the
- 16:47construction for you. So if it's a pass F to the halal
- 16:51Teret says no, because it's not smooth posts.
- 16:53It's jagged. That's this task task continues
- 16:57Pasaf Shanley ella mezuzah akas. What if a passive only has one
- 17:01post Rashi, a tour, a tour, right.
- 17:08This is the tour. But it's shame the rush that he
- 17:10that he's quoting now. Kagaine Shamit said effort over
- 17:12a Kaisala Hollomi passive. Kazaire sad.
- 17:16You mean Kazakh smile, Potter. So what he's saying is there's
- 17:21pictures emotional to ours, but I made my own pictures over
- 17:24here. Let's say you have a person is
- 17:28walking into the apartments over here on the right side, you have
- 17:32a wall that's flush straight across and knows there's no post
- 17:36on the right side. Where's the post?
- 17:38The post is on the left side. So such an instance is going to
- 17:42be putter. However, according to the rush,
- 17:44what about this case? We have a post on the right side
- 17:47as you're entering and it's the left side that's flush.
- 17:50So then you would be putter. So this is very, very, very
- 17:54common in hallways, especially here in apartment statements and
- 17:58Arity Shrell extremely common. You're in the living room, the
- 18:01salon as it's known, and you're walking into the hallway.
- 18:04It's very common that you will have one of these two scenarios
- 18:08that you'll have a post on one side, but the other wall is
- 18:12flush. So that's what this Taz is
- 18:14quoting, the shame, the tour who's quoting the rush that that
- 18:18would be high. So this is a Makhlakis hat
- 18:20place, Kim, right? The Mahabir says clearly you
- 18:22need 2 posts and a lentil. So according to the Spaden,
- 18:26there's nothing to talk about. But according to others, right,
- 18:30the rush specifically, if you have one post, if that post is
- 18:35on the right side, you're going to be high.
- 18:37If now where? Bozner points out that that's
- 18:40only if there's something on the left side, right, like the
- 18:43picture we just saw. So there's a post on the right
- 18:46and there's a wall on the left. But sometimes the person's
- 18:49apartment is situated such that there's a post on the right as I
- 18:52go in the hallway, but on the left side there's nothing.
- 18:55You know, the kitchen is on the right side and the salon is on
- 18:58the left side and and the bedroom is pushing into the
- 19:03salon. So the hallway starts on the
- 19:06right side with a post in the salon, but the left side is
- 19:11still the kitchen. It's open.
- 19:12There's no wall over there. So it wasn't says that's not
- 19:14right according to anybody. So a wall very good.
- 19:20So the question being is, is what's called in in halotic
- 19:24parlance, a safe Kaisel, a safe Kaisel or a safe Tikra?
- 19:28Is that a HIV? Which means we're exactly the
- 19:31way you described it, where a wall ends knows do you need an
- 19:35actual post or if the wall just ends?
- 19:39And again, this is most common by hallways.
- 19:41When you're entering the hallway from your salon, living room,
- 19:45dining room into the hallway to the bedrooms.
- 19:48It's very, very common that there's no posts at all.
- 19:52But there is a Hess over there. There's a there's a doorway that
- 19:56you're you're entering into a tunnel, right.
- 19:59So, so this is a so this is a Shyla.
- 20:01This is a big this gets too long to go into now.
- 20:04It's a big Shiloh. Every case needs to needs to be
- 20:07asked because they are very delicate nuances that can change
- 20:13the Shiloh mamish from the one foot or even 1 inch to to the
- 20:19next. So it's a discussion base by
- 20:23Ashley, Mezuzah, Mikano, Mikan the keeper.
- 20:26Come in, Cassius, I'll say ha Mezuzais, the Mochem Hamashgif.
- 20:42So this is also one of the most this is one of the most lengthy.
- 20:49This is one of the most lengthy and complicated hellafic
- 20:52sections of Hilfis mezuzah, which is also very negate the
- 20:55Hilfis Ariven. And you can give a week's worth
- 20:58of shiram on this, but the Mahabir says it in two lines,
- 21:03and that is if you have what's known in English as an arch, an
- 21:06archway. So an archway.
- 21:09The Mahabir says over here that in order to be Hayev, you have
- 21:13to have mizuza mikan O Mikan, a post on the right and the left
- 21:19the keeper come in Cassius, I'll stay how mezuzahs.
- 21:22And on top of the two posts you have an arch bemock and hamash
- 21:26gave in lieu of a lentil. So that's what the Mahabir is
- 21:29saying. And Yezhba gave a ham mezuzahs.
- 21:32If the two posts are 10 fathim high or yezer Hayev.
- 21:37So then this doorway needs a mezuzah because why?
- 21:42Because the the archway is in lieu of in place of a lentil now
- 21:51as we consider the arch as a lentil.
- 21:54But again, he's making a proviso that you have two posts that are
- 21:58at least 10 Falcom high. What?
- 22:00What's he coming La Fouque? Is coming La Fouque, an archway
- 22:05that starts from the floor, right?
- 22:07Where somebody actually sent me a picture yesterday of a brand
- 22:10new apartment in Florida and he wanted to know, showed me a
- 22:14picture, I could show it to you of of an apartment that actually
- 22:18has in the living room, dining room area, an archway that
- 22:23starts from the floor. I never saw such a thing before
- 22:26in normal living quarters, but that's the way they have it.
- 22:33Yeah. OK, so there you go.
- 22:35So according to the macabre, this would be Potter.
- 22:37According to Rashi, it's Hayat and many Iranians say that one
- 22:41should be Machmere to be Rajeshvi Rashi.
- 22:43But the macabre baskins that it's Potter then ain't like
- 22:46assert for him Potter? If so, if you don't, you know,
- 22:50if you don't have posts of tent for him high, then it's Potter
- 22:53Nation ain't like Mashkaif. Because what the macabre is
- 22:56saying is that if it starts from the ground, so then you don't
- 22:59have a lentil. If I have posts that are tent
- 23:02vachem high, then I consider the arch as a lentil.
- 23:06But if it starts from the ground, where's your lentil?
- 23:09That's the Mahabir's taina, and therefore the Mahabir says it's
- 23:13partly. Now there's a separate mahlakis,
- 23:15which we don't have time to go into about where do you put the
- 23:18mezuza? Now let's say the Mahabir's
- 23:21case. You have posts that are tent
- 23:23vachem high and then you have an arch that goes on top of that.
- 23:26So the doorway, so tenths far from high is only waist high.
- 23:29The doorway itself is 7 feet high, right?
- 23:32Let's say it's a wide doorway and and you have an archway.
- 23:36So where do you put the mezuza? You put the mezuza by your
- 23:38waist, put the mezuza tefa below your waist, put the mezuza on
- 23:42the arch. But the Mahaba seems to be
- 23:44saying that the arch is the lentil.
- 23:45If the arch is the lentil, can't put you mezuza on your lentil.
- 23:48So this is so this is a very, very big Macleicus.
- 23:54There's a safer called inside stamp that has diagrams and
- 23:57gives some basic guidelines. But if you look in any safer on
- 24:00health is Mazus, you'll see that they they tell you where to put
- 24:04the Mazus. If the posts themselves are like
- 24:10that, the pastas is that that would be the same as like as
- 24:14that. That's the that's like a shrift
- 24:17also come in shrift. So I believe if I'm not
- 24:19mistaken, has the same din as a. The boards are there for a
- 24:31different thing. The boards are there so that the
- 24:33string of the a RIV is directly above the post.
- 24:37They're nervous that the that the string might move, so they
- 24:40make a wider base at the bottom to ensure that the string is
- 24:43above the post. If you look at the TAZ, he says
- 24:46an astonishing astonished. Actually we're not up to it yet.
- 24:50Let's foresee the Ramadan. We'll see what I think is an
- 24:53astonishing pass Hagar the culture Kane pass actually by
- 24:56Greba Assarat for him the pottery missus.
- 24:59So this actually is more negae than you think It's again, very
- 25:03often people make what's called a crawl space.
- 25:05Why is it called a crawl? Why is it called a crawl space?
- 25:08Because you have to crawl to be inside of it.
- 25:11So where is that? That's usually either a storage
- 25:14area that's created under a staircase or an attic, right?
- 25:19Somebody has in their attic. So in such instances there is a
- 25:23door, but that door is not 1012M high says there I'm a so it's
- 25:27Potomi Mezuza. And then here there I'm a quotes
- 25:31the famous Mariel with the Mariel says I'm meaning this
- 25:34passionate with Medina Zelu. There is a mimic that has spread
- 25:39the rave Olum most of the veldt Sainton al mezuzah akhas the
- 25:44assignment on a single mezuzah chaisen al pasar batheem that
- 25:49they make at the entrance of their home, meaning they don't
- 25:53have any other mezuzahs the aini nothing.
- 25:56This mimic is wrong. The aim lahem almache ismaku.
- 26:01There's no limit source lahain call Eurasia Mayim attacking
- 26:06basic adinai the collapse of him and therefore a person is erasia
- 26:10mayim should put up missus's. Now if I was reading this or
- 26:15writing this, I would say why should Erasia mayim put up
- 26:17missus? Because this guy even missus
- 26:20right says it has something. I don't know.
- 26:22It's very I don't know. Pick your own adjective, says
- 26:26the taz and sifkat and dalid. The enlahem al nashi is because
- 26:30they have nothing to rely on. Should call me shinoga yirasili
- 26:33Kimberly by anyone who has an iota of Yira Shamayim who writes
- 26:38Aleisha Bethak MI Mira rujais Royce and he wants to have
- 26:43security in his home. Haas Vishalam, yeah, me Mary
- 26:48Rufus Royce has to show him, yes, and mezuzah is the hopes of
- 26:51her. So the task seems to be saying
- 26:53the exact opposite of the famous Rambam.
- 26:56There's a very famous Rambam where the Rambam more or less
- 26:59says that anybody who puts up a mezuzah for protection is a
- 27:02Russia and an Epicurus and he's going straight to go ahead and
- 27:05then and ain't like Felix Leila Mahaba and whatever.
- 27:11Very not nice things that the Ramam has to say about such a
- 27:14person. So what's the Ramam point?
- 27:16Why should you put up a mezuzah? Because Hashem said put up a
- 27:19mezuzah. It's one of the 613 mitzvahs
- 27:21period. There happens to be a side
- 27:24benefit that you get protection, which is very nice.
- 27:26I'll take it. But that's not why you put up a
- 27:28mezuzah. Now again, so if I was reading
- 27:31this Rama and I was saying the inland Mamachi ismiku will hang
- 27:34your eyes, your mind should put up a mezuzah because you're high
- 27:37of says the taz. No, you should be.
- 27:39No, you should put up a mezuzah because if you have any Irish
- 27:42shamayim and you want to be safe, put up a mezuzah.
- 27:47I don't know. It's very funny thing to say.
- 27:50Yeah, but it would seem from the Rambam that that if that's going
- 27:53to be your pitch better not to be Makarov, then that's the
- 27:57Rambam was a was a hardliner.
