Yoreh De'ah 289:4-291:3. Mezuzah: How To Place a It On the Doorpost; Recycling a Sefer Torah; How Often To Check It, Who Is Obligated, Moving Homes. By Rav Reuvain Mendlowitz · SHULCHAN ARUCH YOMI: Own the Halacha in 25 minutes a day!

• 0:00
  OK, we're in soon. Reshpet tests sif Dalit Kate
• 0:04
  said Kaiva, how does wanna fix a mezuza yeast?
• 0:07
  Mariana be mesmerian be mezuza pesa.
• 0:10
  You nail it into the doorpost. The place can nowadays say that
• 0:15
  double sided tape works as well. The Arthur Schulten says Mali
• 0:19
  devek, Mali Mesmerian, which is a fiddish.
• 0:21
  One would have thought that there's a Mylar in using screws
• 0:25
  or nails, but the place can seem to be makal.
• 0:29
  However, the double sided tape, whatever tape you're using has
• 0:31
  to be strong tape. It can't be, you know, wimpy
• 0:34
  tape. Duct tape is very strong tape.
• 0:39
  Oh yeah, after bacafira. So you don't have to fix it to
• 0:43
  the post. You can, you can drill a drill
• 0:46
  is the wrong word, but you can dig into the post, right and put
• 0:50
  the mezuzah in the doorpost. If you look in plain schmall
• 0:54
  there, the mezuzahs over there across the street are like that,
• 0:57
  that they dug into the into the posts and it's a stylish thing.
• 1:02
  In fancy apartments nowadays they like to do this and then
• 1:05
  they have a glass mesitza, whatever.
• 1:09
  There's different ways of doing it, but either 1 is fine the for
• 1:12
  anabah and then you put the mezuzah in the insertion in the
• 1:17
  wall. It had to be sealed up.
• 1:19
  It certainly has to be sitting there.
• 1:21
  It could be sitting there as long, but it can't be.
• 1:24
  It has to be a situation where there's no shots that it's going
• 1:27
  to fall out. That's for short.
• 1:28
  So you have to either put a piece of tape there or like I
• 1:32
  said, a glass. I I would think that it's better
• 1:34
  to have the nails, but manner and pay skim manner is a bad
• 1:37
  word. Contemporary pay skim seem to
• 1:40
  feel that tape is OK. The leyamic laugh bar tefa If
• 1:43
  you do dig into the wall, you shouldn't dig into the wall more
• 1:46
  than a tefa. This, by the way, is also a
• 1:48
  macur for the idea of a tefa. But I make sure muscle came sula
• 1:52
  because because that's the idea knows once something has a
• 1:56
  hevdel of more than a tefas. So it's in a different area.
• 1:59
  Some of the place can explain because it says about a Mezuza
• 2:02
  that mezuza has the AL mezuzah space echa.
• 2:05
  So if you're going to dig in more than a tefas, then it's bit
• 2:08
  Mezuza space echa. It's not al Mezuza space echa.
• 2:12
  So, but less than a tefas is still called Al Mezuza Space
• 2:16
  Echa. Hey, so let's say you have a
• 2:24
  door frame, right? So you have these people you
• 2:28
  ordered you're you're moving into a house and you ordered
• 2:32
  doors, right? So the door company comes with
• 2:35
  six doors. Now, obviously each one of the
• 2:38
  six doors comes with a door frame.
• 2:40
  So how does the door company work?
• 2:41
  First they put up the door frame, right?
• 2:44
  And then they hang the door in the door frame, right?
• 2:47
  Takes a couple of hours. And that's how it goes.
• 2:50
  So let's say you see the guy comes with the truck and he has
• 2:53
  his six door frames on the truck.
• 2:57
  And you say, oh, a door frame and you take your mezuzah and
• 3:00
  you affix it on the door frame, right Then the workers come,
• 3:04
  Jewish airlift, the workers, they come and they put the door
• 3:07
  frame into the doorway and it already has the mezuzah on it.
• 3:11
  So that's this case covered the mezuzah.
• 3:13
  FSFI put the mezuzah on the door frame, but either it's Lucia
• 3:18
  while it was still on the truck, the Afrika Fibra, and then the
• 3:21
  workers affixed the door frame which had a mezuzah on it in the
• 3:25
  doorway. Sula, that's parcel.
• 3:28
  Why? Because of Tassevila manosa is
• 3:31
  tasa, you have to do the mitzvah, the loeim minha.
• 3:34
  Also the mitzvah can't be already pre made.
• 3:37
  You can't buy a pre made mitzvah.
• 3:39
  You have to have a doorway and put the mazuza in the doorway.
• 3:44
  But you can't have a door frame that you put the mazuza on the
• 3:47
  door frame and then you put the door frame in the mezuzah.
• 3:50
  That's no good. Evolve sriva lias zakufa.
• 3:53
  So everybody, this is one of the most famous halafis in Yiddish
• 3:57
  kite, not just in Hilfis mezuza, and that is that the sheet of
• 4:02
  the Mahabhar is that a mezuzah should be upright, vertical
• 4:06
  Oracle or earth mezuzah SA pesa. If you haven't, she has Shema,
• 4:11
  the hainu Saif haglilah. Let's add hutz.
• 4:13
  This is hard to explain, but when you roll a mezuzah, so we
• 4:17
  mentioned that you're rolling it from the end to the beginning.
• 4:21
  So the beginning should be facing out.
• 4:24
  In other words, when you roll anything, I don't have the
• 4:27
  misses here anymore. But here you have a paper,
• 4:30
  right? So if you roll this paper from
• 4:32
  the end to the beginning, right? So now this is the beginning.
• 4:37
  OK, so the let's say this is the post.
• 4:40
  So the beginning should be facing out.
• 4:42
  Notice it shouldn't be facing the post right?
• 4:47
  Shema? This is Shema because this is
• 4:49
  the beginning she'll be facing. If this is the post, Shema
• 4:51
  should be facing out. That's what it means.
• 4:55
  So that's the problem that it doesn't always work out so well
• 4:58
  with the shakai. So the shakai bipash just takes
• 5:01
  precedence. Also, if you have an opaque
• 5:03
  case, it's almost impossible to be makai in this din.
• 5:08
  The Ilum is not that mock, but about it pash this because, like
• 5:11
  I'm saying, it's a very difficult.
• 5:13
  I love her to be McCain and at the end of the day, the shakai
• 5:16
  takes precedence. We want the shakai to be
• 5:18
  visible. So if you take a look in the Taz
• 5:21
  and Sif cotton Bov, he says if you skip down two or three lines
• 5:25
  for Abenu Tam, who hayesh Imrim the Besamov Rabenu Tam is the
• 5:31
  Yesh Imrim that we're going to see there.
• 5:33
  Amma is going to bring in a moment that says he disagrees
• 5:37
  with the Mahabhar and he holds the Biscifa.
• 5:40
  That if you put the Mezuza upright puzzle because of
• 5:44
  Amarthai, it's a fascinating thing that Amarthai brings the
• 5:47
  Shmite in the name of Rabina Tam Shah Omar, that Rabina Tam used
• 5:51
  to say Kisha evna Orion when I build my shul and I build an R
• 5:56
  in Kydish in ESCA, if I'll be able to arfi veil lafi hamada
• 6:02
  seifa Terra me youshef kissafa Terra shya munaf Bahrain.
• 6:07
  Rabinatam used to say, you know, as we have what the Mahabir is
• 6:11
  saying, that the Mazuza should be upright.
• 6:12
  Why is he saying that? Because it's a Matlicus, Rashi
• 6:15
  holds it should be upright, but Rabinatam holds it should be
• 6:18
  flat, right? Like the way we Ashkenazim have
• 6:21
  our siphray tiger is flat on the beamer.
• 6:23
  So there have been a time held that in a orange caydish, it
• 6:26
  should also be flat. You should put them as you
• 6:28
  should put the Siphr tiger flat in the orange or Ben and Tom
• 6:32
  used to say, when I build my Shoal, I'm going to make an
• 6:35
  orange caydish with a siphray tiger put in flat.
• 6:39
  That's that's what our Ben and Tom used to say.
• 6:42
  But today our meaning is not like our Ben and Tom.
• 6:44
  We put it upright. I think they say in Bells they
• 6:49
  have one safer Tyra that they keep flat.
• 6:53
  Yeah, I think what I think the RN Kydish and Bells I think hold
• 6:56
  70. I took a tour once.
• 6:57
  I think they said it holds 72 Safeway Tyra if I remember
• 7:00
  correctly. So they have one.
• 7:03
  Why? Because I think they say that
• 7:06
  either a barrel of Bellser or his father had a hollering and I
• 7:11
  don't know, and he met Rabin Uttam or something.
• 7:14
  I don't know. Some you have to ask the bells
• 7:15
  as they can tell you, but they are Makai and Dishita with one
• 7:20
  safer terror. But Dominica Ilam everywhere
• 7:22
  else in the world is that our safer terror are upright says
• 7:26
  there are more that we were just talking about bache nagu that
• 7:30
  the mezuzah are upright. Now bache nagu means where the
• 7:33
  Mahaba was right in in Arab lands avaliation.
• 7:38
  I remember there are those that say shipsulobizkufa that upright
• 7:42
  is puzzle El itzrijaliya shuva or caloriejeva Mrs. a passive.
• 7:47
  But Rabbinic Tom holds it should be horizontal, not vertical.
• 7:51
  So what do we do? Amidactic and Yates in addition,
• 7:55
  so we are Yates both how so Manif and Isa the Shippua uba
• 8:01
  alasa, and we put the mezuzah on a diagonal on an angle.
• 8:05
  The Hain Royal and that's really what should be done.
• 8:08
  The Hain Nagen with Medina Salo and says there are more
• 8:11
  Ashkenazic lands. Our minig is that we put it on
• 8:15
  an angle. The havanshi hey rusha mezuzah,
• 8:18
  The Hainu Shema litzad, pnim vashitaf Reina litzad flips and
• 8:23
  this is the mezuzah. This is the top of the mezuzah.
• 8:25
  This is the bottom of the mezuzah, and I'm walking into
• 8:27
  this room, so it should be tilted forward, right?
• 8:30
  The top of the mezuzah should be tilted toward the room like this
• 8:34
  mezuzah. It's tilted towards the room
• 8:36
  that you're entering. Now regarding I'll just say a
• 8:39
  quick word about this idea that the mezuzah is on an angle.
• 8:42
  So there are different cheetahs. The Minta Salazar and others
• 8:45
  hold they should be on a 45° angle because it's you're making
• 8:49
  up Shura and then that way you're Mackay and bolt cheetahs.
• 8:52
  Others explained this drama that how are you Mackay and bolt
• 8:56
  cheetahs? You're not Mackay and bolt
• 8:58
  cheetahs. She holds and has to Imakayim
• 9:00
  neither exactly right. Rashi holds it has to be
• 9:03
  vertical or any time holds it has to be horizontal.
• 9:05
  So what are you accomplishing by putting it on a 45° angle?
• 9:09
  All you've accomplished is that you're not Yelts according to
• 9:12
  anybody. So they answer a very
• 9:15
  interesting answer that if you look the lotion of Durama was
• 9:19
  Avalieh, Shahim, Shipsula, Biskufa.
• 9:22
  It's puzzle if it's Zakov, right?
• 9:25
  And others hold that it's puzzle if it's Shaitf.
• 9:29
  So by putting it on an angle, it's not Zhakov and it's not
• 9:32
  Shaikhif. So that's what it means that
• 9:34
  Yates are both cheetahs. Yeah, yeah.
• 9:36
  Solemaisa that has an issue held that we just put it on an angle
• 9:42
  as like a kind of like a zaita for the cheetahs remain in tham
• 9:45
  and it should just be a very mild angle like let's say 5°,
• 9:50
  but there are others. That's whatever would be
• 9:53
  noticeable. I am.
• 9:54
  So if it's 8° whatever, whatever that number hasn't, it just says
• 9:58
  it should be a hecker that it should be on an angle, but it
• 10:01
  should be a very mild angle. Now, just to mention also very
• 10:04
  often Ashkenazim get very nervous because they have a thin
• 10:08
  doorpost and you can only affix the mezuzahs if it's perfectly
• 10:11
  upright. So like, am I going to go to
• 10:13
  Gehenim if I put up my mezuzahs? If it's perfectly straight,
• 10:16
  you're not going to go to the henem.
• 10:17
  It's perfectly fine and you can put it up like this, fire them
• 10:21
  and it's beside the gomwa. Well, yeah, OK, but you know
• 10:24
  Rabena time is not going to be so happy with us anyway.
• 10:27
  So, right, If he comes to you in a dream, then get back to me.
• 10:32
  Simon raged sadly. Say for Tyra it's filling
• 10:35
  shabalu. A safer Tyra or a pyrifed
• 10:38
  filling that wore out right? You have this all the time.
• 10:41
  You find very old safer Tyra from 100 years ago or more.
• 10:45
  So ain't ISON mayhem, Mezuza, you say?
• 10:48
  You know what? I have a great way to save
• 10:51
  money, right? I can't.
• 10:52
  I can't afford him Azuza. Mazuza nowadays are so
• 10:55
  expensive. I'll just cut out the parisha
• 10:58
  from the safer Terra of Shamar and I'll have him Azuza.
• 11:02
  But that's going to lead to a question.
• 11:04
  What do you mean? But you need Shema and Ryan
• 11:06
  Shamai, you're missing a parisha.
• 11:08
  And we spoke a few semenem ago about attaching it, right that
• 11:12
  that's not so budget. So the shaft explains the
• 11:15
  parisha, Shema Bisayfatera Bisayf Hadaf.
• 11:18
  The parisha of Shema was written at the bottom of a column.
• 11:22
  Now we learned that there's margins at the bottom of the
• 11:25
  saifatera and the top of the saifatera.
• 11:27
  So if you wrote Shema at the bottom of a column, so you have
• 11:31
  a margin, blank margin underneath it, So what are you
• 11:35
  going to do? You'll just cut it out.
• 11:36
  La Yosef liftev La Mata Begillion parishes of I am
• 11:39
  Shamaya, right? You say I'll save myself the
• 11:41
  cost of the cipher having to write Shamaya.
• 11:44
  I'll hire him to just write for I am Shamaya and I'll save
• 11:47
  myself 100 shekels. So you can't do that.
• 11:50
  The alpha guy of the Hashtagnestaru Cassidron, even
• 11:52
  though now you're going to have everything written in order,
• 11:55
  right? Because Shema was written 100
• 11:56
  years ago and Vahaya is written now, and that's fine.
• 12:02
  Oh, howdy. OK, that's a good cash, huh?
• 12:04
  Kill Hassan, we call Malcolm and maybe the Niktisha, right?
• 12:08
  It's a good cash. Don't suffer normally right in
• 12:11
  order. OK, so ain't Eisenman Mezuzu and
• 12:14
  Kaisenaeiser Algiliane Seifetera?
• 12:15
  You can't. Let's let's say you don't have
• 12:18
  Clef, right? There's a Clef shortage.
• 12:20
  It's it's COVID and the shipping routes are disrupted and there's
• 12:23
  no Clef. So you say, OK, you know what,
• 12:25
  I'll just cut off the margins of a Seifetera and I'll write a
• 12:28
  mezuza over there. You're not allowed to do that.
• 12:31
  Kaisen is al Giliani, secretarial Fisher and Merida
• 12:34
  mikusha hamura lakdusha kala because you cannot be married a
• 12:39
  holy item to a lesser kadusha. So say Vitara has greater
• 12:43
  Kadusha than a Azuza, right, So this would be what's called
• 12:48
  Hagarada Bikdusha and it would be ASA because my life is that
• 12:51
  place came if the ISR if I rather Bikdusha isn't isn't the
• 12:54
  right so and isn't there a bono? Would it make a difference?
• 12:57
  No, correct, yes, even though it's a puzzle safer Terra, yes.
• 13:02
  So this is a very interesting case.
• 13:08
  Let's say you have a safer Terra that it has a hole, right, and
• 13:11
  it was a worm made a hole in the safer Tyra and you want to put
• 13:16
  on a patch and you don't have clap to make a patch.
• 13:19
  So that is mutter that you can cut cut off.
• 13:23
  You can make a skin graft, right.
• 13:24
  You can cut off a piece of claff from the margin and make the
• 13:28
  patch with that in. If you have absolutely no other
• 13:34
  way of doing it by its Arefa Ganza, the lab hockey.
• 13:38
  And if you don't resort to that solution, you would have to be
• 13:41
  going as the safer Tyra Avalyn. But if you could get your hands
• 13:46
  on another piece of Clef with which to make the patch,
• 13:50
  Athleticia Safetera Migvilan, the right Saladabekalea Clough.
• 13:55
  And even though the Safetera is made from one type of Clef and
• 13:59
  you can only make a patch from a different type of Clef.
• 14:02
  So it's going to look weird Even so like after you shouldn't know
• 14:07
  there's better to have a not matching correction made from a
• 14:14
  separate piece of clap than to have a matching skin graft done
• 14:20
  by removing part of the margin of a safer Terra.
• 14:23
  Knows it's preferable, knows it knows it's the last resort there
• 14:27
  ain't also attacked me by foots with clap.
• 14:29
  Apple P chassis with Terra meek villain.
• 14:32
  Because even though the safer Terra is made out of Gill, which
• 14:34
  we said is like a brownish tan type of a clap, you can still
• 14:39
  make a patch with white clap. That's not going to be a
• 14:43
  problem. Is it?
• 14:44
  Happy Dafa? From its own million good from
• 14:46
  another secretary's million, it's own, yeah.
• 14:48
  I don't have a source for that, but so it would seem Simon
• 14:52
  Raystadic aleph, very relevant halachas and Raystadic aleph
• 14:57
  mezuzahs, jochenkozdekas Parmayan beshevashanim, the
• 15:01
  mezuzah of an of an individual and individual means as opposed
• 15:05
  to its seaboard, Right. And if a person has 12 children,
• 15:09
  that's not called it seabour, that's still called an
• 15:11
  individual Mezuzah's yafid. And if that gets by Mayim Bashab
• 15:14
  Hashanah Vishal Rabbim by Mayim Biegel.
• 15:17
  But Seabourg would have to check them azuzas twice in 25 years,
• 15:21
  and a yafid would have to check his mezuzahs twice in seven
• 15:25
  years. Yeah.
• 15:26
  What did I say? Oh, I'm sorry.
• 15:28
  Yes, once in 25, twice. Thank you.
• 15:31
  Twice in a Yeeville, right. So twice in 50, once in 25.
• 15:34
  Why says the shaft to call Dovashu shell rabbim enlahat Sri
• 15:39
  ET alayam Harvey shala yangru call FA Dias ET haveirae, right,
• 15:44
  because the this whole business of checking in Mezuzu is not a
• 15:47
  dinderi rice, it's a dinder abundant.
• 15:49
  So abundant said OK, so at Zebra, we're not going to bother
• 15:52
  at Zebra. Why?
• 15:53
  Because when you have at Zebra, everyone's going to say someone
• 15:55
  else should do it, right? So if we only, if you only have
• 15:58
  to do it once every 25 years, we'll find a volunteer, right?
• 16:02
  So that's, that's the reason. So the question comes up, what
• 16:05
  about a building right over here in there, it's Australia, you
• 16:08
  have buildings, you have 14161820 people in a building
• 16:13
  and there are mezuzahs on the entrance to the building.
• 16:16
  So is that called a Yochid or a Rabin?
• 16:18
  So all the police can agree that that's called a Yochid, that's
• 16:21
  not called a Rabin. A rabin would be like a mezuzah
• 16:25
  of a shul that would be called a rabbit.
• 16:27
  Now there are those that argue and say that even a mezuzah of a
• 16:30
  shul, if there's a Gabi in charge of the shul or a VAT.
• 16:34
  So then it reverts to the din of a yafit because this Taina the
• 16:38
  koala, somebody else should do it.
• 16:41
  So if you have a vada by it right knows in a building it has
• 16:46
  been a viafit anyway. But even if you would want to
• 16:48
  argue that it has a din of a rabbit, since there's a concept
• 16:53
  of avada by it. So there are those that say that
• 16:55
  it for sure has a dinner for Yahid and the same thing would
• 16:58
  apply to a shul that even though a shul, but then it's a stickles
• 17:01
  fair because what about a city? A city has a mayor.
• 17:03
  There's always going to be somebody in charge of something.
• 17:05
  So it's I don't know these coolers are a little
• 17:08
  questionable, but be there as it may a residential building with
• 17:13
  1520 apartments in it, all place can agree has a dinner, the
• 17:16
  yokid and the mezuzas on the building should be checked twice
• 17:19
  in seven years. There are place can that say
• 17:21
  that nowadays this Halatha is bottle and you don't have to
• 17:25
  check Mezuza twice in seven years nowadays, because they say
• 17:28
  that this Halatha was based on the idea or not based, but was
• 17:33
  made in a time where there was no insulation and there was we
• 17:37
  put everywhere and Mazuz's would get moldy and Mamelia had to
• 17:42
  check Mazuz's. But nowadays, where we have
• 17:44
  proper insulation and and climate control, there's no need
• 17:49
  to check indoor missus's. Outdoor missus's certainly do
• 17:51
  have to be checked twice in seven years.
• 17:53
  But indoor missus's there are probably going to say don't have
• 17:55
  to check it twice in seven years.
• 17:57
  It's questionable whether it's wise to be simultane that
• 18:00
  cooler. It's also questionable whether
• 18:02
  the Mitzius is accurate. And one final note is that Arnis
• 18:05
  and Purella says that this this idea of Nifdekas Parmayan
• 18:08
  Basheva Shanim means that the mezuzah has to be checked once
• 18:12
  in seven years. Now how he reads that into the
• 18:15
  words Nifdekas Parmayan Basheva Shanim, you could look in the
• 18:19
  safer Kochani where they explain it.
• 18:21
  But Rinuzen Karelis holds you only have to check Mezuzah's
• 18:24
  once in seven years. So maybe that's a good pshara
• 18:26
  knows you have paisa and say you never have to check your mezuzah
• 18:29
  and you have paisa and say you have to check it twice in seven
• 18:31
  years. So maybe if you want to be Simon
• 18:33
  100 and Nissen Karelis, you could do that.
• 18:35
  Ask your local Orthodox rabbi As someone who checks mezuzahs
• 18:39
  every day, I question whether the you know whether that yeah.
• 18:47
  If you didn't buy it from a reliable saver, then you
• 18:49
  certainly have to have them checked for sure.
• 18:51
  No question about it as soon as possible.
• 18:54
  You don't have to wait 3 1/2 years check it today.
• 18:56
  The kids are shulting off and many other places can bring that
• 18:58
  Hasidim Vanche Mesa and like to check them as this is an ello.
• 19:01
  So the what that means is along the lines of what you're saying
• 19:06
  that a a opportune and and good time for a person to check his
• 19:11
  mezuzahs when he's checking the rest of his Yiddish kite, which
• 19:14
  is during LL. So LL is a good time to check
• 19:18
  one's mezuzahs. So it's like a Simon for a
• 19:20
  person. The Yankees who are even more
• 19:22
  organized than the rest of us. So they the mimic in in Germany
• 19:27
  was to check the mezuzahs every other Shaney which comes out to
• 19:32
  the era twice every seven years. So this coming touch and pay
• 19:36
  Zion the Yucky's will be checking them mezuzahs in other
• 19:39
  shamy. Hello Habesh has such a bias.
• 19:42
  If somebody rents a home, a tenant rents a home from a
• 19:46
  landlord Kaiba mezuzah. The tenant has to put up the
• 19:50
  mezuzah will attacking Malcolm KUSA and he has to make sure
• 19:53
  there's a doorpost there. He has to work it out.
• 19:55
  The field is on the tenant. This is not such a well known
• 19:58
  Aloha, certainly not by landlords.
• 20:02
  Well, I'm sorry, certainly not by tenants, right?
• 20:04
  Many tenants come in and say, hey, there's no mezuza here.
• 20:07
  Well, you know what? Tough luck.
• 20:08
  The fiev is on the tenant. The fiev is not on the landlord
• 20:12
  says they're a morgue. I feel suffer.
• 20:13
  I biased the heska. Sheesh, lay mezuzah.
• 20:16
  Amazing Aloka, Even if you, the landlord told you that there's a
• 20:20
  mezuzah there, the ain't lay mezuza.
• 20:23
  And it's just not true. There's no mezuzah there lie
• 20:25
  having megaphos. The fiev is on the tenant
• 20:28
  period, Ukshey Yeatsay, and this is perhaps the most famous
• 20:34
  halacha. Ukshey yeatsay.
• 20:36
  When you move out of an apartment, light yet, Lena, the
• 20:39
  other, you may not take the mezuzahs with you.
• 20:43
  So I would talk about this a little, but this would take 20
• 20:45
  minutes to talk about. So we're just going to gloss
• 20:49
  over it. But it's a very, very important
• 20:52
  halafa to know. And it's an Indian of sakana as
• 20:54
  well. It's not just, it's not just the
• 20:56
  halacha, it's also inyone sakana.
• 20:59
  When moving out of an apartment, the person should not take the
• 21:03
  mezuzas. He should leave the mezuzas
• 21:05
  there. So what should he do?
• 21:07
  How should he work it out? So I don't know, you know, and
• 21:10
  not I don't know, I do know, but it'll just take us too much time
• 21:15
  then. Mackbit Alma Isaha Hashemi
• 21:18
  Tsarif Lashalimle. Now, just because I can't take
• 21:20
  the mezuzahs when I move out of the apartment doesn't mean that
• 21:23
  the next tenant becomes the owner of those mezuzahs.
• 21:26
  He either has to give them back to me or pay me.
• 21:30
  But I have to leave the mezuzahs.
• 21:32
  That's what the Ramos is saying here.
• 21:34
  The next guy who moves in if he doesn't want to give them back
• 21:36
  to me, you know that's his prerogative, but he has to pay
• 21:40
  me the him suffer bias me guy. What if the landlord is a non
• 21:45
  Jew? I should suffer A ligi or the
• 21:48
  tenant is a non Jew Vanessa Yeah, the next tenant is going
• 21:52
  to be a non juice and night love the outside knows this.
• 21:54
  I'll offer that you have to leave them as users is only when
• 21:57
  you have a Jewish landlord. But if you have a non Jewish
• 22:01
  landlords, then we're worried about that he's going to be
• 22:03
  Mavazzam Azusa. So we'll just throw them in the
• 22:05
  garbage. So take them Asusa's with you.
• 22:07
  It's only when you're dealing you need 3 Jews involved, a
• 22:10
  Jewish landlord, a Jewish tenant and a subsequent Jewish tenant
• 22:14
  right. So here in Eric's Israel, you
• 22:16
  always know that the next tenant is going to be a Jew.
• 22:18
  But if someone's renting an apartment in the Upper West
• 22:21
  Side, so then theoretically if the next tenant is going to be a
• 22:26
  non jury, you should take the missus with you.
• 22:28
  Hagav a guy should be keshit nalai mezuzah, another famous
• 22:32
  halacha. What if the guy requests that
• 22:34
  you give him a mezuzah? The writes a la kaifa with
• 22:37
  piscoi ossar lit naloy. It is not permitted to give a
• 22:41
  mezuzah to a guy Veneer Lee to miko Malcolm, Malcolm to ikala
• 22:46
  mishum Ava. If you're afraid that the guy
• 22:50
  asked you for a mezuzah and you're not going to give him
• 22:52
  one, now there's going to be a pogrom or something.
• 22:55
  The shayera mishum zeli Israel. So then Shari, it would be
• 22:58
  mutter to give the guy the mezuzah.
• 23:01
  Also you have to realize if the guy's asking for a mezuzah, so
• 23:04
  it's not such a shash, he's going to be Mavazza, the
• 23:06
  mezuzah, right? He's asking the mezuzah because
• 23:08
  he's Mohabad the mezuzzah. So we don't want to give a guy
• 23:10
  in mezuzzah anyway. But if you have to you the Rama,
• 23:14
  says Canary Lee. You can give the non Jew the
• 23:18
  mezuzah. When I move out, can I check it
• 23:21
  and I'll put it back? No way, not no, no.
• 23:24
  Absolutely not. Hello to Dalit.
• 23:26
  I call hayavum in mezuzah Afilu notioned by avodum.
• 23:30
  Everybody's hayavum mezuzah, even women and Avodumnu and with
• 23:37
  Mahaneh Katanim to put up a mezuzah on their doorway.
• 23:42
  Serbiakov Kamenetsky used to say that people make a mistake that
• 23:46
  in elementary schools. So they put the mezuzahs low,
• 23:50
  right? Because they're little people,
• 23:52
  right? The children are are little
• 23:55
  people short right and so it says so we put the mezuzah low.
• 24:01
  So Jakov Kaminski said that's not called Mahanchenes Ectana.
• 24:05
  You mechanize a cotton to do a mitzvah properly.
• 24:07
  You're not mahana for cotton to do a mitzvah in an iPhone.
• 24:11
  That is puzzled. So therefore Bianca Kaminski
• 24:13
  used to be my that in elementary schools and ganem in all these
• 24:17
  places you should put up a mezuzah.
• 24:19
  Well, whatever. If you're going to put up a
• 24:21
  mezuzah, the mezuzah should be put up in the correct place.
• 24:25
  Two more halafas relevant to what we were talking about.
• 24:29
  Somebody is during this year whether you can use the margins
• 24:33
  of Savitaria A to repair Savitaria B.
• 24:36
  And I said no, but I did say that I didn't have them a car
• 24:40
  for that. So RBA have showed me now that
• 24:43
  it's brought from the some cipher that he says that one may
• 24:46
  not use the margins of Savitaria A to repair Savitaria B, whereas
• 24:51
  the Arka Sholtan says that one may do so.
• 24:54
  So that's Mahalika Sakhraynam, it's point #1 and coming back to
• 24:58
  what we were talking about, that when leaving an apartment or a
• 25:02
  home, one may not take the mezuzahs with them.
• 25:06
  So we'll just elaborate on that a little bit.
• 25:09
  The Gemara says that it's a sakana for one to remove
• 25:14
  mezuzahs when leaving a residence.
• 25:17
  There are four or five different shots and given in the
• 25:20
  Reshadowman Australian why that is, But without going into the
• 25:23
  reason, suffice it to say that it's a sakana for one to take
• 25:28
  down mezuzas and leave an apartment without mezuzahs.
• 25:31
  So the question is, what is 1 to do if you have mezuzahs and you
• 25:36
  want them? They're expensive, good
• 25:38
  mezuzahs. So as we mentioned, the incoming
• 25:42
  tenant either has to pay the outgoing tenants for the
• 25:46
  mezuzahs or what I did not mention is that the incoming
• 25:50
  tenant can take down the mezuzahs and return them to the
• 25:53
  outgoing tenant. In other words, this din is only
• 25:57
  a din on the outgoing tenant. And by the way, it's lava, it's
• 26:02
  lava tenant. A homeowner has the same a lot
• 26:05
  as well. It's not necessarily talking
• 26:08
  about serious. It's even talking about bias.
• 26:11
  So if you own a home and you move out of the home, you're not
• 26:14
  allowed to take the mezuzahs with you again.
• 26:16
  However, the incoming homeowner or tenant has to either pay you
• 26:21
  for them or return them to you. That's point number one.
• 26:25
  Point #2 is that there is a Heather to take the mezuzahs
• 26:29
  with you if Mischa Feinstein brings from Revenkin and he
• 26:33
  agrees with Revenkin that if they're going to be painting the
• 26:36
  apartment or the house in between your exit and the next
• 26:40
  person entering. And the painters in question are
• 26:43
  not from people, not the Jewish people.
• 26:48
  So then one would be permitted to take the mezuz's down because
• 26:52
  we're concerned about the safety of the of the mezuzahs.
• 26:58
  Excuse me. So that that would be a hat
• 27:00
  there if they're going to be painting and certainly if
• 27:03
  they're going to be doing construction, she puts in
• 27:05
  knocking down walls, things like that.
• 27:07
  So then for sure there's a hat there to take the mezuzahs and
• 27:10
  not just the hat there. It's even advisable to take the
• 27:13
  mezuzahs. The place can also say that you
• 27:16
  don't have to wait until they start painting or doing she puts
• 27:20
  in meaning if you leave the apartment on on January 1st and
• 27:25
  they're going to stop painting on January 10th and the person's
• 27:28
  only going to move in February 1st.
• 27:30
  You're allowed to take down the mezuzas already January 1st,
• 27:33
  even though they're not going to be painting for another 10 days.
• 27:36
  So that's another thing to be aware of.
• 27:38
  The Third Point is that it would be permitted even though it's
• 27:42
  brought from the risky Rove and has an issue that they were not
• 27:45
  excited about this AIDS. But I think all contemporary
• 27:48
  police can agree that another AIDS, so that one may do is the
• 27:55
  one is permitted to. Now let's say the mezuzahs that
• 27:58
  you have are worth $200 each. So you don't want to leave them
• 28:01
  there. So you can buy, assuming that
• 28:04
  they're kosher, you could buy mezuzahs for $50, take down your
• 28:07
  $200 mezuzahs and put up the $50 mezuzahs.
• 28:11
  So that way you're going to be losing much less money and other
• 28:16
  other place can recommend that when doing that, The ideal way
• 28:20
  to do it is that a few days before you move out.
• 28:24
  So again, let's say you're moving out January 1st, so
• 28:27
  December 27th, let's say you take down all your mezuzahs, you
• 28:32
  give them to be checked when you give them to be checked.
• 28:35
  So then you put up these less expensive mezuzahs and then you
• 28:40
  just leave the less expensive mezuzahs there and the ones that
• 28:43
  you haven't checked, once they've been checked, then you
• 28:45
  take them with you to the new home.
• 28:48
  So those are some extra ideas to know about that.
• 28:54
  And one finally idea that I'll mention is that a, as we
• 28:58
  mentioned in previous year, somebody who owns an apartment
• 29:01
  and does not live there is not obligated to put half mezuz's up
• 29:05
  there. So therefore, if you're a
• 29:07
  landlord and the tenant moved out and the tenant did what he
• 29:11
  was supposed to do, he left his mezuzahs there, and you're not
• 29:15
  going to have another tenant moving in until you don't have
• 29:17
  another tenant moving in, right? And the previous tenant wants
• 29:21
  his mezuzahs back. So you as the landlord are not
• 29:25
  higher than mezuzah and the previous tenant wants his
• 29:28
  mezuzah back. And there's no new tenant coming
• 29:31
  in the near future. So there are those that say that
• 29:34
  the landlord can take down the mezuzahs and give them to the
• 29:38
  previous tenant because it's an empty apartment and the landlord
• 29:41
  is putter. And if he's putter, there's no
• 29:43
  reason why he can't take down the mezuzahs and give them to
• 29:46
  the previous tenant. There are about them that don't
• 29:48
  agree with that. So if a person is in such a
• 29:50
  situation, a Shiloh should be asked.
