Yoreh De'ah 286:17-21. Mezuzah: Multiple Doors, Elevators, Double Doors With Posts In Between. By the sofer Rav Reuvain Mendlowitz · SHULCHAN ARUCH YOMI: Own the Halacha in 25 minutes a day!

• 0:00
  We are up to reshpevov the Cepheid Zion.
• 0:03
  Now we'll have to see Cepheid Zion and Cepheid test together.
• 0:06
  And I will preface my remarks by saying that there are once again
• 0:11
  5 or 6 or 7 different Chatham and how to understand Cepheid
• 0:15
  Zion and Cepheid test and maybe we'll just mention one or two.
• 0:19
  Mahalkim Cepheid Zion says his fellows and Yezh Baba is Habib
• 0:23
  sohim sufim Lhotse. If you have many entrances to a
• 0:29
  home which are pursuer to a courtyard, in other words, a
• 0:34
  backyard, a front yard, oil rushasaraban or the house has
• 0:38
  many entrances to or from the rushasaraban, Manassa coulomb
• 0:42
  laconisis fiatzi espinera bias and they are all, and we
• 0:46
  discussed this yesterday, right? If a house has, let's say 4 in
• 0:50
  New York, this is very common. A house will have 3 or 4
• 0:53
  entrances, one in the front, one on 2/1 on either side, one in
• 0:57
  the back, right? So you have a house with
• 0:58
  multiple entrances. Coulomb Fayavan, all the
• 1:01
  entrances are Fayed Afilu Nismatu had the Urim Shahenri
• 1:06
  Gillim Atta Lutzes for lovely ellebe ephod mayhem, which means
• 1:10
  as follows. Let's say let's look with the
• 1:13
  example that we were using, right?
• 1:14
  You have a home and the home has a front door, a door on either
• 1:19
  side and a back door, right? So, so the husband, he comes
• 1:25
  home from work every day. He pulls into the driveway, so
• 1:28
  he enters through the door on the side of the house, right.
• 1:32
  The kid comes home from school every day with the neighbor who
• 1:35
  lives behind them and goes through the backyards and comes
• 1:39
  in through the back door. The wife, she doesn't have a
• 1:42
  car, so she walks, you know, to the kid to school or whatever it
• 1:47
  may be. And she comes back home and
• 1:49
  walks in through the front door. The other kid gets off the bus a
• 1:52
  little bit further down the black, so they come in through
• 1:55
  the other door. So you have different family
• 1:57
  members which primarily make use of different doors.
• 2:01
  And then one or two kids get married and all of a sudden,
• 2:05
  right, Or they go away to yeshiva, what the seminary.
• 2:08
  And all of a sudden, those doors which used to be used every day
• 2:11
  are no longer used, right? So do those doors now become
• 2:16
  putter? So the halacha says that no,
• 2:19
  that even though they are no longer in use, they're still
• 2:23
  going to be hayef. That's yudzayn Yudhas says
• 2:27
  Baishayn sheshleb sahim Harvey a house that has many entrances
• 2:33
  Afalpicia ane rogal lotses vilava elabehad mayhem.
• 2:37
  Even though only one or two are used Hayevlas.
• 2:42
  This mizuza we call pasa ho pasa.
• 2:45
  Now this seems to be a steer to what we you know there's these
• 2:47
  two seafim which follow your tests on the heels of your Zion.
• 2:52
  Your test seems to be Cesar, what it says in your Zion,
• 2:55
  because your Zion is talking about a case where Nismat who
• 2:59
  had the Urim is Mashma that if from the beginning one or two of
• 3:03
  the doors were not used, they wouldn't be Hayev.
• 3:06
  They're only Hayev because usage went down.
• 3:09
  Whereas an Allahuyev test seems to be a Stira seems to say that
• 3:13
  even if from the beginning you only used one or two doors, it
• 3:16
  would be put there. So what's the chat?
• 3:18
  What's going on over here? So we'll mention tube shot them.
• 3:20
  I think the Ghadoule Hechtish understands that Incipio Zion is
• 3:25
  talking about Nismat who had the urine right where you used to
• 3:28
  have like the case that the way I explained it, he used to have
• 3:33
  a number of residents who used all the doors and now there's
• 3:36
  less. Whereas if you dress is talking
• 3:39
  about that, even if in the beginning right AF AF emit trilo
• 3:46
  Lai Hoya regilin ella behad. So they're still going to be
• 3:52
  chaive. In other words, there's
• 3:53
  different the the cases are different.
• 3:56
  One is talking about in this math throughout the Urim,
• 3:58
  whereas the other one is talking about even if from the beginning
• 4:03
  they were only Raghil Behad, Remeja Feinstein, He says that
• 4:07
  Zifiad Zion is he gives a a totally different shot.
• 4:11
  He says that Zifiad Zion is talking knows.
• 4:14
  OK, let's do it this way. Amaysha says that what it means
• 4:17
  is that Sifiyuddzian is talking about where all the Psarfim are
• 4:22
  pursuer to mock him. Effort.
• 4:25
  Right now let's read it again. And the age provides Habib
• 4:27
  Tsarfim tsukhim lohatsa. So all the Psarfim are pursuer
• 4:32
  to the Hatzer. So in that case, since they're
• 4:36
  all made for Knisa and Yitziya, so they're all Hayev, even if
• 4:41
  Miss Matthew had the Urim Shahenry Gillen at the Lutz's
• 4:44
  Falava, Alabama, and nonetheless they're all going to be Hayev,
• 4:48
  right? So you have a, a, A, and that
• 4:51
  was an example of this would be here and there.
• 4:54
  It's Israel at least. Let's say you have a person who
• 4:57
  buys 2 apartments on the same floor and connects them.
• 5:00
  So he still has 2 front doors. So you have two front doors to
• 5:04
  the person's house from the Hatzer.
• 5:06
  The stairwell is the hatzer. So that's where Amaisha says is
• 5:10
  Sif. Katniyud Zion is a Sifyud Zion.
• 5:13
  And in that case, since they're each one is made for Knisa and
• 5:17
  you'd see us, each one is going to be Khayyev.
• 5:20
  Whereas in Sifyud Hess it's talking about Baashiyesh like
• 5:24
  Sachem Harvey, meaning to two different places, right?
• 5:28
  In other words, one is to the Hatzer and one is to somewhere
• 5:31
  else. So then alpha piche nirogo lazis
• 5:35
  vilavi ellebe ephemehem chaevlasses mezuza behold pasa
• 5:40
  ho pasa. That's where Malaysia explains
• 5:42
  it. It's talking about two totally
• 5:43
  different cases. Says there are more.
• 5:46
  Hail Venasilkunisovicia now new case Martev Sheeshley pasach
• 5:53
  minara Haif. If you have a basement, a cellar
• 5:57
  which has an entrance from the street, Shamak nissimba yayin
• 6:01
  bejavier esquedales you, you bring in wine and as a person
• 6:07
  gets his wine deliveries from the street and he has a cellar
• 6:12
  that the wine is brought into and he has a large door that the
• 6:15
  wine is brought into. If you actually pass a cotton
• 6:18
  Mina Bayesian if Nelson Vietzin by tomid.
• 6:20
  But from the house to the cellar he has a little teeny tiny door.
• 6:25
  OK, so again from the street he has a large door that the wine
• 6:30
  barrels are brought in. But when he wants to go from his
• 6:32
  house to the cellar, he has a little door that he goes
• 6:35
  through. So in hapasaha cotton raiment
• 6:38
  limesa if the little door, it's little, but it's a door, right?
• 6:42
  In other words, it's 10th fahim high, it's 4th Fahim wide.
• 6:46
  It's a door. It's a little door, but it's a
• 6:48
  door. So then hir kayevis, the little
• 6:50
  door would be kayev, the hagde la petura and the large door
• 6:54
  would be pater. Why is the large door pater?
• 6:57
  The large door is pater because it's not made for Kinisa
• 7:01
  Vietzia. Really the only reason you have
• 7:03
  the large door is for the is for bringing in the the wine.
• 7:09
  So that's not called a, a place that's made for Kanisa and you'd
• 7:12
  see it. That's just a not for the urine
• 7:15
  purposes, right? Deliveries, right, and rear
• 7:19
  deliveries, not like he has deliveries coming every day.
• 7:22
  You know, once every 2-3 months he gets a delivery of wine.
• 7:25
  So that's not called Kanisa to his home.
• 7:28
  However, then ain't a cotton royal Mezuza.
• 7:32
  But if the little door, his mom is just like a like a like a
• 7:36
  dog, you know, entrance. It's a little tiny thing that he
• 7:39
  has to crawl under to to get into.
• 7:42
  It's less than 10th farthem high and less than fourth farthem
• 7:45
  wide. So then Hagde la faeves Farhat
• 7:48
  Cotton Potter, then the large, you know, garage door, you know,
• 7:52
  to where they bring in the barrels.
• 7:54
  That would be Hayev and the and the small door that would be
• 7:59
  Potter because the small door has no key of mezuzah.
• 8:03
  It's too small. It's not the correct size and
• 8:06
  the and the large door by default now becomes considered
• 8:10
  to be an entrance Sophia tests, Sophia tests.
• 8:14
  So as many of you are probably familiar, there's a also a
• 8:18
  tremendous, tremendous discussion in the pie scheme
• 8:21
  about whether an elevator requires A mezuzah.
• 8:25
  So Sophia tests is really the sift that the whole elevator
• 8:30
  Sugia revolves around. We're we're in Sholkhanar.
• 8:34
  Would you find a case of an elevator?
• 8:36
  It's as if you test that that we're about to see is the
• 8:39
  closest thing you have. So Aruba shebang Bayes la Alia.
• 8:44
  So what's in Aruba and Aruba is you're you're all familiar most
• 8:48
  likely with the fire houses, right?
• 8:51
  We all have this image of the fireman sliding down the pole
• 8:55
  through a hole in the floor, right?
• 8:57
  So that's in Aruba, right? And Aruba is a hole in the
• 9:01
  floor, which is been biased Lalia.
• 9:03
  It's between the upstairs and the downstairs.
• 9:06
  The island love is Sulem. But instead of a a pole that you
• 9:10
  slide down, there's a a, a permanent ladder that's there
• 9:15
  and you climb up through through the hole.
• 9:17
  So the island love is Sulem. Now the Isim Sabef Hassulam
• 9:22
  Hakif Mahitzas amim la Mata be ragle hassulam upamim lamala
• 9:27
  bereche. Which means this fallos, let's
• 9:29
  say you have a home, right? And you have this Aruba, you
• 9:33
  have a hole in the floor to the second floor.
• 9:35
  You want to go up to the second floor of your home.
• 9:37
  So you climb up the ladder to get up to the second floor.
• 9:41
  Now the ladder takes you obviously not just, well, it
• 9:45
  doesn't make a difference really, but the ladder takes you
• 9:47
  up to the second floor. Now on the 2nd floor is let's
• 9:50
  say the bedrooms, right? So people need privacy.
• 9:53
  You don't want to just be there, right?
• 9:56
  So what they do is around the hole on the upper floor.
• 10:01
  This mephitsis so you're not walking just straight into the
• 10:05
  into the upstairs, you're in a confined area, right?
• 10:11
  Or the same thing could be at the bottom of the ladder, right?
• 10:13
  That you, you open a door and you walk into a confined area
• 10:18
  and then you go up the ladder. Now so that this privacy
• 10:21
  surrounding the ladder, which really is exactly what an
• 10:24
  elevator is nowadays, right? You walk into the elevator, the
• 10:27
  doors closed, you're surrounded by 4 walls.
• 10:29
  So that's what he's describing. You go up or down the ladder and
• 10:33
  when you reach the bottom or when you reach the top or both,
• 10:37
  you are surrounded by 4 walls. But isom again, we'll read it
• 10:40
  again, but isom, southern hassulam, heck, if mahitzis, you
• 10:44
  are surrounded by 4 walls at the top or the bottom of the ladder.
• 10:47
  Palm and lamata, sometimes at the bottom of the ladder.
• 10:50
  Biragli, hassulam, upam lamala Biraishi, the yeshwaite, Suez,
• 10:54
  Pesach. But Malcolm Shahisen, I say
• 10:57
  right and and there's a door where you're surrounded by 4
• 11:01
  walls. I want to now step out to the
• 11:04
  first floor or step out to the second floor.
• 11:07
  So I open the door, right. Not much exactly like an
• 11:10
  elevator Hyatt. So this door is going to be
• 11:15
  Hyatt then also why? So that's a big Machlaucus
• 11:19
  regarding an elevator, if you are higher than a mezuzah in an
• 11:22
  elevator. Well, first of all, why is an
• 11:23
  elevator different in this case? So some say that the reason why
• 11:27
  an elevator is different than this case is because the
• 11:29
  elevator moves. That was the latter and
• 11:31
  discussion over here doesn't move, whereas the elevator does
• 11:35
  move. So that's one reason why they
• 11:37
  say it's different. This is this.
• 11:39
  I think the Patella Hoffman is 6 Truvis about about the the shy
• 11:43
  11 elevator. It's a big, big discussion, but
• 11:48
  but this halacha, by the way, is also a riot to the Fermuda
• 11:51
  Daniel that we mentioned yesterday, where the Fermuda
• 11:53
  Daniel says that a Bashar that's less than Dalid al Dalid is
• 11:58
  Hyatt, right? Because it functions perfectly
• 12:00
  well without the Dalid al Dalid. So over here it doesn't speak it
• 12:03
  out loud yet, but the pastas is that when you surround this
• 12:07
  ladder with four walls, it's not an area that's kind of it's not
• 12:11
  an area that's Dalid al Dalid at large.
• 12:13
  It's just like the size of an elevator, more or less.
• 12:16
  And nonetheless, he's saying that it's Kayev or measure
• 12:19
  Feinstein, Urimnism, Purellis even say that on a Bay Shire
• 12:22
  that's less than a dollar Aldalib, you can make a bracha,
• 12:24
  right? So over here I'm just mentioning
• 12:26
  that the Terra haga be that as it may.
• 12:29
  So over here it says that this door at the top of the bottom of
• 12:31
  the ladder would be Kayev vim also lamala vagam lamata
• 12:35
  haibushedayim. So if on the 1st floor and the
• 12:37
  second floor you have this shaft that has a door, you would be
• 12:42
  Hayev on both. Dimitra Sitsik, by the way, says
• 12:45
  by the elevator that it's the actual elevator car that's in
• 12:49
  Hebrew. It's the top of the elevator
• 12:51
  that's Hayev. But most he's the only one who
• 12:55
  holds that way. Rebel Yashev and Bosner and Miss
• 12:59
  Imperialas. They say like you said that the
• 13:02
  that the frame at the entrance to the floor, that's the one
• 13:06
  that's Hayev. But the elevator car is not
• 13:09
  Hayev, correct. In my building over here, we did
• 13:15
  like the Mintra seats truck and it's a five story building.
• 13:18
  There's only one mezuzah on the car.
• 13:20
  I once met with Feinstein and I asked him if you should do like
• 13:24
  the Mintra seats. Well, first I asked him if an
• 13:26
  elevator is hive. Now it's kind of a trick
• 13:28
  question because your measure holds that an elevator is
• 13:31
  Potter. So I just wanted to see what he
• 13:33
  would say. And he said that an elevator is
• 13:35
  hive not like rimation. So I asked actually he it's not
• 13:40
  exactly, it's not mediac. He said well if it's valid, I'll
• 13:43
  valid. It's certainly Hayev.
• 13:45
  That's what he said. So I asked him where would it be
• 13:49
  Hayev? Would it be Hayev like the mint
• 13:51
  Kassi truck on the car of the elevator or on the frame?
• 13:55
  And he said both spars have merit.
• 13:59
  So I said if the Shiva was putting up a Mezuza in such a
• 14:03
  building, where would the Shiva put it?
• 14:05
  So he said I would put it on the frame of the floor, but again he
• 14:08
  reiterated that he didn't disagree with the Mintra sits
• 14:13
  Roxbara. Okay, that's I'm sorry, there is
• 14:17
  a sad to put it on both because even though knows the Ivitz and
• 14:21
  the Binion Sea and they say that when you have a Suffolk, which
• 14:25
  side we was talking yesterday about which side to put the
• 14:27
  mezuzah on. So they say to put on 2
• 14:29
  mezuzahs, 1 on either side and there are those that argue with
• 14:32
  them Lanais. We're not naive that way.
• 14:34
  But over here you're not putting it on two different sides.
• 14:37
  You're actually putting it on the same side, but you're
• 14:39
  putting it on two different doorways.
• 14:41
  So La Jaira over here there would not be a problem to do
• 14:46
  that, especially especially on all floors other than the
• 14:51
  entrance level. Because on oath and others
• 14:55
  according to Rabel Yashev and and I think this relation of
• 15:00
  slam Zalman held an elevator up there.
• 15:01
  So I think most elevators don't have a missus.
• 15:04
  Stifler held its spot there. It's a half miles spot there.
• 15:07
  I think most elevators don't have missus's, but in a building
• 15:10
  where the there's a lot of reasons why it's part there a
• 15:15
  lot of reasons why it's part there.
• 15:16
  One is because it's moving, another because it's unusable in
• 15:19
  between and and whatever. So that's a whole refuse why
• 15:23
  it's part there. But many places can hold its
• 15:25
  part there. But from the ones that hold its
• 15:27
  high, if most people are Niagara, like Rebeli Ashif that
• 15:30
  on the entrance level to the building, they'll put the
• 15:32
  measures on the right side going into the elevator and then on
• 15:36
  the 5th floor where they live, they'll put it on the right side
• 15:38
  exiting the elevator. Of course, the elevator is a Bay
• 15:41
  shower to Yadira right. So if I live on the 5th floor,
• 15:44
  the 4th floor, the third floor, so I'm entering the Bay shower
• 15:47
  on Komak Nisa. I go up to the third floor and
• 15:51
  now I'm going to my diva. So I need a mezuza on the right
• 15:53
  side going in and then the left side coming out.
• 15:56
  That's herbly Ashev holds, and I think that's the meaning of most
• 15:59
  people who put up a mezuzah. So if M Cain so, so on,
• 16:07
  according to the Mintra seats like you only need one mezuzah
• 16:09
  on the right side going in to the car.
• 16:13
  But when you're exiting, right, according to the Mintra seats
• 16:16
  like you putter, so you'd only be putting up on the exit
• 16:20
  because of Ribble Yashev, so that you could put on the frame
• 16:24
  like Ribble Yashev and the fire would not be entirety disaster.
• 16:28
  So you could put up one on the right side like the Menchaciza
• 16:34
  going in on the car and one on the right side exiting like
• 16:40
  Rebel Yashif. So you would be on the 3rd floor
• 16:43
  and you'd have two mezuzahs in front of your face.
• 16:45
  But look however, that would be OK one.
• 16:47
  That's moving on the elevator and one that's fixed on the on
• 16:51
  the. Floor.
• 16:51
  Yeah, yeah. But again, all this is only
• 16:54
  according to those that hold that it's high.
• 16:56
  The Ghosh. Himself said you'd make a Brock
• 16:58
  arm and they sharp but the elevator itself is popular for
• 17:02
  the correct correct. Ramisha holds like the Neil that
• 17:11
  a Bashar passes me. Dollar on dollar is higher, but
• 17:14
  he disagrees with him in Fazitzhak who says that the
• 17:17
  elevator has a dinner with a Shire and Remezarals.
• 17:20
  The elevator is putter completely.
• 17:22
  But if you have, I'll tell you where it where it would be Niger
• 17:25
  again, I grew up in Flatbush, most homes in Flatbush.
• 17:28
  I like this. You walk into the home, you're
• 17:30
  in a little coat room, which is less than Dalid al Dalid.
• 17:34
  You take off your jacket or your coat, you hang it up and there's
• 17:36
  a door and then you walk into the house.
• 17:38
  So that little coat room, which is less than Dalid al Dalid,
• 17:42
  according to our measured Feinstein and Uranism purely
• 17:44
  that's you could make you could put up a mezuza with a brotha.
• 17:47
  Put up a mezuza with a brotha knows even though the front door
• 17:50
  of the house really is not you're not entering the house.
• 17:53
  You're entering just the little coat room.
• 17:55
  That's puffers me dialed all dialed.
• 17:56
  So there's It's sad to say that the front door of the home would
• 17:58
  be putter right? Which some place can do say if
• 18:01
  you. Have one door within another
• 18:03
  door and another door and it's less than dialed almost each
• 18:06
  time. You don't put mezuza on each.
• 18:09
  You do, but only because of the bayshire.
• 18:11
  So if you hold that a bayshire pothesmidalidalid is Potter, not
• 18:15
  like the Humuda Daniel, then your front door of your home
• 18:18
  would be Potter. If you hold that there's a tour
• 18:20
  of Pothesmi balladalid, then no, even the Shahram would have have
• 18:24
  denim and the balladalid is one of those denim.
• 18:27
  But again, they I'm they're emotion and remissim.
• 18:30
  They hold like the Humuda Daniel that pothesmidalidalidalid would
• 18:33
  be Hyatt with a bracha. I think Islamic Kluger holds
• 18:36
  that it's Potter period knows not only is it not with a Brava,
• 18:40
  most places in many places came to say it's live without a
• 18:42
  Brava. There are those that hold that
• 18:44
  it's Potter. So front door of a home in
• 18:46
  Brooklyn and Flatbush would be Potter.
• 18:48
  Haf alef pesak efad the Hulku Bohmad bin time that this also
• 18:53
  this is a chubus harajba and this halafa as well.
• 18:56
  I'm sorry I skipped off. Let's go back to Hoff.
• 18:59
  Yeah, I sure did skipped off. OK, sip Hoff pesak Shafairi
• 19:03
  Hadelis and meshle patzem tefa hyeva mezouza.
• 19:07
  So so this there are I think six or seven shot them once again in
• 19:12
  the Reshinam and Akranium explaining siphoff.
• 19:15
  So I made a diagram here of two of those explanations, but just
• 19:20
  to try and give it to you verbally before we begin, the
• 19:23
  idea is that you have a Pesach that's in the corner, and now
• 19:29
  there's a typical door to a typical area is not in the
• 19:33
  corner of the room, right? It's not in the southeastern
• 19:39
  corner, right, or the OR the northwestern corner.
• 19:41
  It's usually in the set in the middle of a wall.
• 19:44
  So this case is talking where you have a PESA at the corner
• 19:48
  and it actually enters 2 rooms as we'll see in the diagram.
• 19:53
  Here's the diagram, right. So these are two these are two
• 19:58
  of the five or six different Chatham in what the chat is over
• 20:02
  here in this case, right. According to this Sheeta, you
• 20:06
  can enter from the South or you can enter from the West and
• 20:10
  there is a post in the corner, right?
• 20:15
  So that's so so now, so according to this Sheeta, if
• 20:19
  this post is less than a tefa thick, you could technically put
• 20:24
  a mezuzah over here and you're pattering both entrances.
• 20:28
  OK, that's this chat. Notice again, you have an
• 20:30
  entrance from the West. You have an entrance from the
• 20:33
  South. So if you would put on the
• 20:36
  southern door of Mezuzah on the right post, you pat there the
• 20:40
  southern entrance and the western entrance.
• 20:43
  That's one shot. Another shot is that you have
• 20:47
  you enter from the South and you have a room to the right.
• 20:51
  Notice this is the home, right? And the home is configured that
• 20:54
  you have let's say your study as soon as you walk into the house
• 20:57
  on the right. OK, so the this post that's I
• 21:00
  circled essentially is the right post of two different rooms.
• 21:04
  OK so so according to this chat, this right post, you could
• 21:10
  technically when you're entering the home, if you have a mezuza
• 21:14
  on the right post, that mezuza could theoretically patter the
• 21:18
  room on the right as well. So as long as the post is less
• 21:23
  than a tefach thick right knows if the post is thicker than a
• 21:28
  tefach, then you would need 2 mezuzahs.
• 21:30
  You'd need one on your right as you're entering the home and one
• 21:34
  on the same post on your right as you're entering the study.
• 21:39
  Where is the thickness? What if it's a 2 by 4?
• 21:42
  I mean, So what if it's narrow on one side and it's.
• 21:45
  So that's a very good question. I'm not 100% sure about that.
• 21:49
  That's a that's a good question. But but be that as it may,
• 21:53
  again, so that this is the idea that this SIF is talking about,
• 21:57
  that you have either one mezuzah that could pat their two rooms
• 22:03
  or one mezuzah that could pat their two doorways.
• 22:07
  OK, and again, there are many other shot them in the reshine
• 22:09
  them. But that's a fat, you know, will
• 22:13
  will that'll suffice for us. So pesaksha.
• 22:18
  So that's called pesaksha afre hadelas, a pesak, which is
• 22:22
  behind the door, because in either one of these cases,
• 22:26
  technically when you open the door, you may not see the
• 22:30
  mezuzah, right? In other words, because it's on
• 22:32
  it's in the other doorway, right?
• 22:34
  Especially in, in in the case with the one post and the two
• 22:38
  doorways. So Pezza Jafari Adelis and we
• 22:41
  age laid Patsen tefa hayef the mezuzah meaning a second
• 22:45
  mezuzah, right? Whereas if the Pats and if the
• 22:48
  post is less than a tefa thick or wide or deep.
• 22:52
  So then one mezuzah would suffice for the two areas.
• 22:57
  Sivkhov Aleph is also very controversial case.
• 23:03
  Sif Hafalov again. So sif Hafalov is a is a like I
• 23:07
  said, it's a Chubasa Rajba and it's very unclear how to read
• 23:12
  the Rajba and how to read the macabre even over here that
• 23:14
  we're about to see. There are there are different
• 23:17
  ways to understand this. There's a Hafman Adam that has
• 23:21
  his chat. There are many, many other shot
• 23:23
  him. So we'll try and just, you know,
• 23:26
  deal with it as best as we can. So we're all familiar with this
• 23:33
  case. This case is where you have a
• 23:34
  relatively wide doorway. You have this at the entrance of
• 23:37
  many shules, many but the madrish and even nice homes.
• 23:42
  It's very common to find such a thing that you have a nice wide
• 23:45
  doorway which has a post in the middle and two doors, right?
• 23:51
  You have two doors he knows in the salons, right?
• 23:55
  In the 1880s, right? The Cowboys would walk into the
• 23:58
  salons and they would knock open the 2 doors which would swing
• 24:02
  open. But in those doors there's no
• 24:03
  post in the middle, right? But if you have sometimes in a
• 24:07
  restaurant, you'll have swinging doors also with a post in the
• 24:10
  middle. But it's, I think it's most
• 24:12
  common. I mean, it's very common today
• 24:14
  in homes. Many people have sent me
• 24:15
  pictures of their house where they have this as well.
• 24:19
  But I think it's most common in shuls, yeshivas and both in
• 24:22
  Madrich where you have a large door and, and there's 2 doors
• 24:27
  with a post in the middle. So that's the Hulk.
• 24:30
  You have one doorway which is split by Almud Bentayim by a
• 24:35
  post in the center. So now, so do you need, and you
• 24:39
  have two 2 doors, right? I'm, I'm making that assumption.
• 24:43
  Chi Adam says maybe you have one door.
• 24:44
  But let's say you have two doors.
• 24:46
  So now so does each doorway require its own mezuzah?
• 24:50
  Well, no, I view it as one large doorway.
• 24:53
  No, it's just for structural purposes.
• 24:55
  I can't have a door that's six feet wide.
• 24:58
  So I have a post in the middle, but essentially it's really just
• 25:01
  one doorway. Or do we say no, that each
• 25:04
  doorway is its own doorway and you need 2 mezuzahs and not one
• 25:09
  mezuzah? So these are the tricky words
• 25:12
  over here. Kol shayesh.
• 25:15
  I'll read it according to the simple understanding of the
• 25:17
  Mahaba, which is not universally agreed upon.
• 25:20
  But the simple understanding is kol shayesh heckerzir baze U
• 25:24
  bazeh lit sadha Ahmed. As long as there are hinges on
• 25:29
  the post to the right and the left.
• 25:31
  Notice I kept on saying the doors swing like this.
• 25:34
  If the doors swing like this, there's no hinges on the post
• 25:37
  because the post is in the center right.
• 25:40
  But if the doors swing like that right that there's hinges on the
• 25:44
  post. So then Hare Haim Kishnaip saw
• 25:47
  him. Then it's considered like 2
• 25:49
  doorways that Sarah mezuzah la culpezah and each doorway
• 25:52
  requires its own mezuzah. Abel Kolsha ain't serum letzadha
• 25:57
  Ahmed. But if the hinges are on the
• 26:00
  outside, but like my example I was giving, but the hinges are
• 26:05
  not on the post itself, so then ain't Hamad mahalki, then the
• 26:10
  post does not split it into two share Anna ella linai baalma.
• 26:15
  Because since the post is not being used to put hinges on it
• 26:20
  and the doors open like this. So that means that the post is
• 26:23
  just there for Neiba Alma. It's not there for any real
• 26:26
  reason, maybe even just structurally it's there but it's
• 26:29
  not serving any function since the post is not serving any
• 26:32
  function. So you only need one mezuzah on
• 26:35
  the extreme right, whereas if the hinges would be on the post
• 26:40
  itself, so then the post is serving a function and that
• 26:44
  splits it into two doorways and that's what it would be 5.
• 26:48
  How wide can the post be? So.
• 26:51
  So from here it sounds like it doesn't make a difference how
• 26:54
  wide the post is. Oh yeah, that yes in economy.
• 27:01
  Yeah. I apologize I didn't have the
• 27:04
  iMac of the question. Yes, if the if the post in the
• 27:08
  centre of the two doors, I would tend to agree.
• 27:10
  If it's more than 3 for them, then for sure that's that splits
• 27:14
  it into two doorways. Whereas if it's just let's say,
• 27:20
  I mean, so some say that if it's more than a tefak wide, that
• 27:23
  already automatically makes it 2 doorways.
• 27:26
  Others disagree and say no. And Hamid doesn't say anything
• 27:29
  about a tefak. Now, as you say, at a certain
• 27:31
  point it's not logical to say that it's one door anymore.
• 27:35
  So what's that point? Is that one tefak or is that
• 27:37
  312? But that's a shyla.
• 27:39
  But I will point out we have 16 seconds left that others read
• 27:44
  this Mahabir differently and they say that as long as there's
• 27:47
  hinges on either side of the post anywhere that splits it
• 27:51
  into two.
