Yoreh De’ah 283:3-285:2. Sefer Torah and Mezuzah: Writing Verses; Lined Parchment or Paper; Reward and Placement of Mezuzah. By the Sofer, Rav Reuvain Mendlowitz · SHULCHAN ARUCH YOMI: Own the Halacha in 25 minutes a day!

• 0:00
  This is the Safer authored by our Maggie Cheer.
• 0:04
  Thank you so much. Thank you Ruby, Asif I did, I
• 0:07
  did not pay for that. Yeah, it's it's called Inside
• 0:11
  Song by Robert Louvey Menloitz. We have an all Hebrew version.
• 0:15
  Also. That's correct.
• 0:17
  We're in sin and reshpe Gimel sif gimel Casa Megillo scholars,
• 0:22
  scholars, Tavis Bashita Akasmoto.
• 0:24
  We made a statement yesterday and said base that one may not
• 0:27
  write any section of Kiswe Hakkadesh independently.
• 0:31
  In other words, if you're going to write something, you have to
• 0:33
  write a whole safer. You have to write a whole safer
• 0:35
  Joshua. You have to write a whole safer
• 0:37
  year Mia, whatever the whole safer may be, you can't write
• 0:40
  sections on by themselves. And we mentioned a discussion
• 0:44
  about Peter Mctairus. So you will see some Peter
• 0:46
  Mctairuses where it's divided up.
• 0:50
  There's 3 words on a line and then there's a break and then
• 0:53
  there's 3 words and then there's notice it's divided into
• 0:56
  sections. Why is that?
• 0:58
  Because of this halacha, Casa megilla Shellish say this.
• 1:01
  This is to conform with your values, children, not to write.
• 1:06
  So if you do it like this that you write only three words on a
• 1:09
  line, then it's mutter. Why is that?
• 1:11
  Says the taz in Sif cotton bays. Piyush Kaiser Shellish Davis
• 1:16
  kanda Shellish Davis reche kais mehan ishita shnea Sheena nikras
• 1:20
  imharishaina. If you only have 3 words on the
• 1:25
  line. So then it's going to be mutter
• 1:27
  why Laficia ain't near a Caucasus magilla akas.
• 1:30
  Because it does not look like one scroll.
• 1:34
  I'm not sure exactly what the correct terminology would be,
• 1:37
  but it doesn't look like a single magilla when it's broken
• 1:40
  up like that that you only have 3 words on the line.
• 1:43
  The shaft as well. It's a cotton hay.
• 1:45
  Says she Kevin. Sheesh, Bashinui ain't a daimala
• 1:49
  magilla me say for tiger it's differently.
• 1:51
  Since it's different, we don't view it as your typical to
• 1:53
  kisfea Kydish and there would be a head there to do so.
• 1:58
  Yes, I lost it that. We'll see it in the next hour.
• 2:01
  Simon Simon Sivdalid also Lyrica and sukim Batalis 1 is not
• 2:06
  permitted to embroidery sukim on a talus, says the Taz sif cotton
• 2:14
  gimel mahatam de la Elsa as a lifted.
• 2:17
  I thought one reason is because you can't write 1 pasek, right?
• 2:20
  If you're going to write a megillah, you have to write a
• 2:22
  whole megillah. The aye lafisha talus AFA P she
• 2:25
  ish, but it sits the same Tashmiche mitzvah, the LOI
• 2:28
  kadusha saguf as we mentioned, right, Kiswe Hakaidish is, is a
• 2:32
  goof kadusha, right? And then you have something
• 2:35
  that's not a goof kedusha. It's a, it's a, it's a Tash
• 2:38
  Michelle mitzvah, like a Schaefer or or a Lulov, right?
• 2:41
  So he says so tsitsis as well is a Tash Michelle mitzvah.
• 2:46
  Val K nyafa love with talis mitsuyatzis la besa kisse Hulu
• 2:50
  besa trilla, right? We walk with our tsitsis into a
• 2:54
  bathroom. Leshtamish by Lukhassis by ESA
• 2:56
  Erva Efiavi kiswya Kydish. Welcome Tinai versus visozo.
• 3:01
  Right? So this says therefore you're
• 3:03
  not allowed to sew a puzzle on a talus because a talus is
• 3:07
  something that could be taken in a bathroom or used for other
• 3:10
  purposes that are not necessarily appropriate.
• 3:14
  Well, if he's there, he finishes off with Holmakim Shiucha,
• 3:16
  Lovely de Zilzel Aza Pam. Like if they've shown posse.
• 3:19
  You shouldn't write a puzzle on something that eventually can be
• 3:24
  used or find itself in an uncomfortable situation.
• 3:28
  And the shaft says the same thing, right?
• 3:30
  And sif Khanvaz they should maybe Suki, I tell you the
• 3:33
  diesel so because you it will come to inappropriate places.
• 3:39
  So if so, talk about talus baton either or any talus.
• 3:47
  We don't do it because it's not appropriate 'cause it's a a
• 3:50
  baggage Schultz fila. So we don't take it into a
• 3:53
  bathroom, but you can have a talus.
• 3:54
  First of all, it could be a talus cut.
• 3:56
  And second of all, talus also is a generic term for a for a
• 4:00
  baggage. Even though over here you see
• 4:02
  from the shack and the task that they are talking about a talus
• 4:05
  of a mitzvah, But I don't know that there's not much an isser
• 4:08
  to walk into a bathroom wearing a talus.
• 4:10
  I think we're just not naive that way because the baggage
• 4:13
  Schultz fila and it's not appropriate.
• 4:14
  I'm not sure that it's ulcer, but if it is Oscar and I'm
• 4:18
  wrong, then it's so we're talking about a Talos cotton,
• 4:19
  which certainly we wear into the bathroom.
• 4:22
  It's not just one fact. Not kiss their coach, but a
• 4:25
  brotha. That's the embroidered on the.
• 4:27
  Atara, this would be the same game.
• 4:29
  Yeah, yeah. Siffei sidranchal nivim.
• 4:33
  This is just in case you were interested.
• 4:35
  This is the order. If anybody stops you in the
• 4:37
  street and says what's the order of nivim Uksuvim?
• 4:40
  So if you memorize this halafa, you'll know the answer.
• 4:43
  Yeshua shreyafim Shmuel malachim yermie yafeskal yeshaya treyasa.
• 4:48
  And the seder of Uksuvim is Roost, Hilim, Iyev, mishli,
• 4:53
  kahelas, Shira, Shirin, kinois right?
• 4:56
  Which is eh Danielle, Nicholas, Esther, Ezra and iveya Yeoman
• 5:02
  correct? There are different Durham found
• 5:04
  in different places. So my NAF Kamina.
• 5:07
  Here good question. Don't know what the I guess the
• 5:10
  Naf Kamina would be if you're going to put it in one scroll.
• 5:13
  So at the beginning of the Simon that you could put it in one
• 5:15
  scroll. So that would be the correct say
• 5:17
  there Simon rage paid Dalit what you were asking about before.
• 5:21
  Shall I lift the the least seer tooth?
• 5:22
  Seerthud means when you have a piece of Clef.
• 5:25
  So you'll notice in the Clef there are lines scored into the
• 5:29
  claff and, and the same as you have a, a regular sheet of
• 5:32
  paper, right? So you have the standard white
• 5:34
  paper with the blue lines. Those blue lines are called seer
• 5:37
  tooth. Now, it's not a halaphic seer
• 5:39
  tooth because a halaphic seer tooth means that it's scored
• 5:43
  into the claff, right? But even on regular paper, you
• 5:46
  have lines, which is why when an architect makes it, makes a
• 5:50
  plan, it's called the Sartet, right?
• 5:51
  Because seerat tooth is a precise straight line.
• 5:55
  Call kiswiya kydish and Kiswen blow seer to see one is not
• 5:58
  permitted to write kiswiya kydish without seer tooth.
• 6:02
  If you look super Melanie are even if it's written on paper,
• 6:05
  right? There's your advice that talks
• 6:07
  about a get if folding the get. You know, like a fan, right?
• 6:12
  And then you unfold it and you write on the folds.
• 6:15
  Is that good enough for seer tooth, right, Because seer
• 6:18
  tooth, the idea of seer tooth is, is it's a COVID for Kiswaiah
• 6:21
  Kaidish. It makes the writing straight.
• 6:24
  And Masooder sif bais also liftev shalish tevis MI pasi
• 6:29
  blois seer tooth right now we just made a statement.
• 6:32
  You're not allowed to write Kiswai hakaidish without seer
• 6:34
  tooth. So let's say I I write the word
• 6:36
  vayyadaber. So I have to have seer tooth.
• 6:39
  I write the word the harshandasa.
• 6:41
  I have to have siriud knows what's the at what point do I
• 6:45
  become fayev? So the answer is 3 words.
• 6:48
  If you write 3 words of the pasuk with, you're not allowed
• 6:51
  to write 3 words of the pasuk without siriud Imhok savashuri.
• 6:56
  If it's being written in Savashuris.
• 6:59
  When we write kiswira kaidish, we write it in Savashuris,
• 7:02
  right? When you're writing a letter to
• 7:03
  your friend, so you're not writing in Savashuris, you're
• 7:06
  writing in script. So that is not what we're
• 7:09
  talking about. We're talking about Shalashtevis
• 7:12
  in Saba shuri from a possum. So that requires sirtut Hagar,
• 7:19
  the anfilok beng Siva lesakika, the aitsem Ibizaf Jirama says
• 7:25
  that let's say you're you're writing a possum on a piece of
• 7:30
  gold, right? You're what's the word
• 7:33
  emblazoning it on a on a piece of gold or where you're carving
• 7:37
  it into a piece of wood. If it's three words from a
• 7:41
  pusic. So then that requires certain me
• 7:46
  who be Iguer Schlumen motor liftova filo cometevis me apusic
• 7:51
  lidova saphis. In other words, Ludovic saphis
• 7:54
  means in the course of speech, right?
• 7:57
  People just use expressions. So let's say your friend sent
• 8:00
  you a dwar Tyra and you're writing a letter back to him, so
• 8:04
  you write to him. Dear Yankel, it's so nice to
• 8:06
  hear from you. Thank you so much for writing.
• 8:09
  I read your shtickle Tyra sasunaifi alim Rosafa.
• 8:12
  You might say Shaolin rov, right?
• 8:14
  So that would not require seer tooth because you're not writing
• 8:18
  Kisvaya kydish, you're writing a letter.
• 8:20
  So when you're just writing something with the Dereth
• 8:23
  SAPHIS, so that does not require certa, only when you're writing
• 8:27
  it as a busit, the director. Itself the director.
• 8:32
  Itself being quoted the. Puzzle who says the quote of the
• 8:35
  busit in the dark side so you're allowed to deposit.
• 8:38
  And explain the positive. Order the plastic in it yes.
• 8:41
  So then in economic that would require certa.
• 8:44
  Yeah, you. Can't write a director on a
• 8:45
  piece of paper, but that's certa.
• 8:47
  That's what it says over here. Yeah, right.
• 8:51
  Is it? Yeah.
• 8:54
  Yeah, it doesn't have to be parchment to be a problem.
• 8:57
  Yeah, he says. I feel in the Yeah.
• 8:59
  Can you use a? Computer Word.
• 9:02
  Very good. So that's a good question, which
• 9:04
  I didn't look into, but I was wondering the same thing.
• 9:07
  Now there's let's say you're writing.
• 9:11
  So like, let's say I was thinking, let's say on the iron
• 9:13
  Cray dish, I'll be here, right? So it says Shalim Rablai, how
• 9:16
  they say a saffron, right? So, so if they if they put that
• 9:21
  on the iron Cray dish with a shablona like a printed thing.
• 9:25
  So it's a stencil. So it's it's going to be
• 9:27
  straight automatically. So is that like seer tooth or do
• 9:31
  I actually need to make a seer tooth?
• 9:35
  It seems like the Ilum is Mako. It could be for one of two
• 9:37
  reasons, either because we're not using Zaba shiris, although
• 9:41
  very often on a Bimo or an Ahmed or or in Khedis Zaba shiris
• 9:45
  paper or or we make all because of what I'm suggesting,
• 9:50
  suggesting that if you're using an external means of making sure
• 9:55
  that it's going to be perfectly straight, perhaps that would
• 9:58
  qualify as well. Like I might say this.
• 10:01
  Right, I'm not saying this. You have it all the time,
• 10:04
  correct. Exactly, exactly.
• 10:07
  So maybe that's maybe that's the headset if you're just printing
• 10:10
  out a Word document. So for sure that's the machine
• 10:13
  is doing it. But but in a in a in a math
• 10:16
  saver. So it's very possible that there
• 10:18
  is a human guiding the machine knows by word.
• 10:22
  I'm not guiding the printer. Printer works without me.
• 10:26
  Now this is a big cooler is that if you were Messiah at the top
• 10:32
  line, Schuf Lloyd Zarek. In other words, let's say you're
• 10:35
  writing a 20 line document, right?
• 10:39
  So he says you only you don't have to be Messiah at the 20
• 10:41
  lines as long as you Messiah at the first line.
• 10:44
  That will ensure that the later lines are straight as well.
• 10:49
  There's a macabre and and this is Maclegas de Ramon, the
• 10:51
  macabre. If you look in Simulan Base, I
• 10:54
  think it's evolved, you'll see that there's much leg is between
• 10:57
  the Ramon and the Mahaber. The Mahaber said of what whether
• 11:02
  you need forcing to them now there's a box or is it is just
• 11:06
  the top line enough. So over here the Ramon is saying
• 11:09
  I'm serious. Did she tell you in a shoveled
• 11:11
  sarif and then he throws in a random halafa which he just
• 11:18
  slips it in? Yeah.
• 11:20
  Shyrim the aim lift. Dave Devaram shall fail.
• 11:23
  Bixava Shura should place him by Ativa.
• 11:25
  One should not write a Devara foil in Saab Ashuris.
• 11:29
  So you find all the time that a kid will go to a Saphris Hogue,
• 11:35
  right, And he'll come home, Mishpathas Goldberg, right, and
• 11:38
  I'll have it written out in Saab Ashuris.
• 11:40
  According to this, you're not allowed to do that.
• 11:42
  You see people write up Subas in Saab Ashuris.
• 11:45
  According to this, you're not allowed to do that.
• 11:48
  Now Major Feinstein has a Truva about Aksuba.
• 11:51
  He says what seems to be a tremendous British that Aksuba
• 11:55
  is not a Dover foil. He says it could Suba has
• 11:58
  Kedusha because it was come composed by Fazao.
• 12:03
  So OK, not sure. OK, I'm not the barp looked of
• 12:07
  Remeische Feinstein. He said that's what he says.
• 12:08
  That's what he says. But there's a there are many
• 12:12
  people who write it beer for Sabias in Saba sures and all
• 12:15
  these kinds of things. According to this Rama, there
• 12:18
  would be no head there to write such things in the Saba sures.
• 12:24
  Also, it's not has no source in it's not from Khazal Artha
• 12:31
  Schultz I'm. Saying but if you compose your
• 12:33
  own spielers. Artha Schultz says that a Bertha
• 12:35
  Sabai specifically. We'll we'll get to it soon.
• 12:38
  I mean, we won't get to it. It's an Artha Schultz, but he
• 12:41
  says that Bertha Sabai specifically, he says his main
• 12:44
  like Akphira in the Mezuza, He says because what's the point of
• 12:48
  the Mezuza? Mezuza is shame around the
• 12:50
  person's home as we're about to see, and this is what he needed
• 12:53
  to give his advice for and most people he says hang the advice
• 12:56
  right back near the Mezuza of the front door.
• 12:58
  So he basically intimates that it's Kafira to hang a beautiful
• 13:01
  say by this in your house, right.
• 13:03
  So he says what do you need a school look for exactly exactly.
• 13:07
  So he says what he needed spool here.
• 13:09
  You have the Abish there himself protecting your house and you
• 13:12
  say no, that's not enough. Let me let me hang up some
• 13:15
  schooler that somebody made-up 25 years ago.
• 13:18
  Yeah, that block letters or is that Oh, very good question.
• 13:22
  Is Savashuris standard black letters or is it Dafka
• 13:26
  Savashuris as as the site from rally.
• 13:29
  So I think I haven't seen in many, many years, but I think
• 13:33
  yes, the Gillian Marshall is right here.
• 13:36
  Rashpay Dalit Varm Shellfile the M Kane according to this that
• 13:42
  you're not allowed to write that dvaram shall hail in Saba shiris
• 13:48
  to him came la yafa masha reshim Hassaic and who say him Minae
• 13:54
  scheirishi ishim limkor. But ACS Miru Bayan says that
• 14:02
  when you walk into the Merkaz misery and you see right and and
• 14:09
  you see all kinds of things. So the writing is in square
• 14:13
  black writing. But Schlemmer Eager seems to be
• 14:16
  saying that square black writing technically is kosher for a
• 14:22
  sable tire just because it's not the way most of the letters that
• 14:27
  are written in a stand, those that hit this, if you look at
• 14:29
  the Jolvenarf right, the standard print, the Ramon is in
• 14:32
  what we called Rashi print and the and the macabre is in black
• 14:36
  letters. Those black letters or Schlemmer
• 14:38
  Eager is saying most of them are kosher for a savior Taylor so so
• 14:43
  if you have somebody hangs up a a sign on his store you know a
• 14:47
  pizza you know Uri and it's in black letters Schlemmeger says
• 14:54
  what's the Hector so the. The bear I'm calling.
• 14:59
  The first thing printed ever was a Rashian foolish when the
• 15:02
  printing press was invented. So the first book that was
• 15:05
  printed was Rashian foolish and the printer.
• 15:08
  First Jewish Jewish book that was printed was Rashian Foolish
• 15:13
  and the printer who I think was in Italy, Bomberg maybe made a,
• 15:18
  he invented the Rashi script. So he's suggesting of some, and
• 15:22
  I don't know if that's what he's referring to in the Barragello,
• 15:24
  but yeah, it's a subject is that she was around about it.
• 15:27
  There's a lot of Schitlas Tyra. If you look in the journals, the
• 15:30
  contemporary Torah journals, there are many many Schitlas
• 15:33
  Tyra written on this topic. Now, Sir, tu de la hummesh, that
• 15:37
  supertora has to be a squirter engraved just for writing.
• 15:42
  Normally it doesn't have to be engraved.
• 15:44
  Just in your mind, Yes. Helgas mezuzah pay.
• 15:49
  Hey, scar mitzvahs, mezuzah. Aloha alef mitzvahs, I say.
• 15:55
  Lift the parish shamaya. There's a mitzis, I say, to
• 16:00
  write Pasha shema and parishes vahaya in Shamaya Ulikovum al
• 16:06
  mezuza sapesa and to affix them to your doorposts as the Shah.
• 16:11
  How do we know that the The Who of Saftam al Mezuza?
• 16:15
  This past week's Pasha, actually.
• 16:19
  But Sir, right, you don't find this in every Simon and Shoulton
• 16:24
  arc, right? He doesn't say you have to eat
• 16:27
  matzah and you have to be very careful about it over here by
• 16:30
  mezuzah, he says with Zarath Lizaraba maid, you have to be
• 16:34
  very careful about the mitzvah of mezuzah.
• 16:36
  And if you are the call has zahirbah, if you are careful
• 16:39
  about mitzvah mezuzah, it's kedai.
• 16:41
  It's worth it. Why Yariku Yamov, you will have
• 16:45
  long life. And not just you be Mei Banov.
• 16:48
  Yeah, children as well. Them Anais are here BA.
• 16:51
  But comes with a warning. There's a flip side.
• 16:54
  The person is not careful about Mitsus mezuzah.
• 16:58
  Anaisaraba is Katsru. His life Khalilah will be
• 17:01
  shortened. Agar says there are Ma.
• 17:03
  And we call Malcolm and any other in my Segas look nice
• 17:06
  filling in mezuzah. Let's say a person.
• 17:08
  It's time An interesting question.
• 17:10
  Let's say a person only, I mean it's hard for us to imagine
• 17:13
  because today it's filling cost $2000 and a mezuza cost $200.00.
• 17:18
  But be that as it may those days filling or much cheaper they had
• 17:23
  that cause whatever it doesn't make a difference is The point
• 17:25
  is let's say you only have money to buy either a mezuza for your
• 17:29
  home or a pair of filling. What should you buy?
• 17:32
  What comes first? Hang on, I was about to say that
• 17:36
  one second. But let's say let's say there's
• 17:39
  only two people on an island and one of them is a cipher, right?
• 17:43
  And one of them has money and the other one has money, right?
• 17:46
  So what should he what should he pay?
• 17:47
  Empty rights filling or mezuza. So says there are more.
• 17:50
  What comes first You can that's filling.
• 17:53
  Filling comes first. The line mezuza.
• 17:54
  Why the Mitsui Havas had goof Adifa, because filling you do
• 17:59
  with your body, something you wear on your body, takes
• 18:03
  precedence over Mezuza, which is just an external of your body
• 18:07
  mitzvah. Now with that said, as if Zalman
• 18:09
  points out, I think there are more.
• 18:11
  I'm not mistaken, there are more.
• 18:12
  The Morgan of Rome, I think in our science, I believe says that
• 18:19
  that's in a vacuum. But let's say I could borrow a
• 18:21
  pair of tilin from a Gamath, then buy the mezuza right now.
• 18:26
  Nowadays you have Gamath mezuzahs and Gamath tilin.
• 18:29
  But let's see, we're going to tell that only has filling and
• 18:32
  that came ask mezuzah. So buy the mezuzah and borrow
• 18:35
  the filling. But again, it just matched up
• 18:38
  one-on-one filling comes first because the head is Hagouf says
• 18:42
  the taz over here and Sifkat and Aleph.
• 18:45
  It's good. I like to see this the tour CM
• 18:48
  Kan of Gdeila mizu shabbais nishmar al Yoda.
• 18:50
  The tour points out that not only do you have long life, et
• 18:53
  cetera, et cetera, but the mezuza is a shmira on your home
• 18:57
  or pirush Basie Asif the Curry lizet Gdeila.
• 19:02
  Right now, the the tour says you have a long life and Gdeila Mizu
• 19:06
  more than that, your house is watch.
• 19:09
  Well, I don't know if someone said I you could you could live
• 19:11
  to 103 or you can have a robbery when you're 24.
• 19:15
  Which one would you choose? Right?
• 19:16
  So what do you mean? Gedele Mizzou Like it's even
• 19:18
  more fascia than living a long life is that your house is going
• 19:22
  to be guarded. So the basiasib explains Pierce
• 19:25
  Basiasib. The curl is like a de La La
• 19:27
  fischio nace Nikla because it's an open miracle.
• 19:31
  The OI official hefekta bahaya shakadish bahrafu shimer MI
• 19:36
  bahuts and I was generally you have guards who guard the king.
• 19:41
  We are unique in that the king guards us the linear and the
• 19:46
  task continues the Trila Omar bazaar.
• 19:49
  The Trila Omar share who the boy who would say say iskari who
• 19:57
  they is birth. Since the mezuzah expresses the
• 20:00
  oneness of our Kaddish barfos. Every time you walk in and out
• 20:03
  of your house, you are acknowledging that Valsa Omar
• 20:07
  and about that we say the Khalhazar.
• 20:10
  But if you are careful, the high know Shah Tamid Zajari Khuda is
• 20:14
  birth. You're always thinking about
• 20:15
  Hashem's oneness possess that gets a person long life.
• 20:23
  After that it says I feel them in otherwise a clone.
• 20:27
  Even if you're doing nothing, you're out cold in bed.
• 20:32
  You know what's amazing about this mitzvah?
• 20:36
  I feel a bit even when you're not doing anything, you're not
• 20:41
  doing the mitzvah. It's protecting you anyway.
• 20:44
  There's a HEPA from the east of the site, the mitzvah Lloyd
• 20:47
  Magina Allah an insight that we say that mitzvahs only guard you
• 20:51
  when you're doing the mitzvah, the can.
• 20:53
  But mezuza is unique Tamid megina alibis because it always
• 20:57
  guards the home belief payola Adam.
• 21:00
  No action required on your part, right?
• 21:04
  That's so that's the taz and the shaft says this also.
• 21:09
  How do we know that it we're not not also, but the taas says
• 21:11
  where does this come from? The serve the sieve because this
• 21:14
  is one of the few mesas in the Tyra where the Tyra specifies
• 21:18
  what the reward is and the puzzle says the man yerbu
• 21:21
  yamaehem vime venehem al Adama right.
• 21:24
  So the reward for missus filling his long life.
• 21:27
  OK, Halafa base nissi NASA betefa kahit saying what does
• 21:31
  that mean? That means as follows.
• 21:32
  If you look at this doorway over here, for instance, CLC that the
• 21:37
  post as it were, is let's say 45 centimetres thick.
• 21:43
  In other words, when you walk through a door or doorway.
• 21:46
  So if you're you're traversing A doorway, so you can traverse a
• 21:50
  doorway that has very thin posts, right, like an aluminium
• 21:54
  doorway where the posts are, let's say 2 centimetres, you
• 22:01
  know, thick. Or you can walk through a
• 22:04
  concrete doorway where the posts are like, let's say a foot
• 22:09
  thick, right? Or you can some shules or
• 22:11
  yeshivas. You walk through this big
• 22:13
  massive doorway in the Garib based Madrish, right?
• 22:17
  And you was your line when you walk in.
• 22:19
  So I haven't been there, but I'm assuming that the doorway, let's
• 22:22
  say it's 2 feet thick, right. So the the common default of
• 22:28
  people is that they'll put them as those in the center right.
• 22:32
  Now this again, I'm, I'm, I'm outside and I'm walking in.
• 22:36
  So from walking out to walking in, the doorway itself is, let's
• 22:40
  say 2 feet of, of, of depth. Right as I move forward, the
• 22:46
  doorway has 2 feet of depth. So most, most people, the
• 22:49
  default will be that they'll put the Mezuza in the middle, right?
• 22:52
  And those one foot in, if it's two feet of depth, they'll put
• 22:54
  it 1 foot in because aesthetically that's the nicest.
• 22:58
  That's not what a person should do and see NASA.
• 23:00
  But in other words, when you're coming from the Rishasaravan
• 23:05
  into the Rishasaya after it, or from one room into another room,
• 23:09
  the mezuzah should be right at the outer edge of the doorpost.
• 23:13
  And that was the first thing you hit should be the mezuzah.
• 23:17
  OK, It says the tasks have gotten vase Y kadeshiya
• 23:23
  kohabaiya shamur Kevin shuhu me bef namely mezuzah right now.
• 23:27
  That's because let's say you put the mezuzah in the center or at
• 23:32
  the end of the two feet. So when I'm standing at the
• 23:35
  entrance of the doorway, I'm not protected by the mezuzah, right?
• 23:40
  So says the Gamara, This is a Gamara.
• 23:43
  So put the mezuzah at the outer edge.
• 23:46
  So that way the second you pass the mezuzah, you're protected.
• 23:50
  So you want to get maximum protection.
• 23:52
  So hop around another 10 centimeters of protection.
• 23:55
  If you can't, that's one reason given.
• 23:57
  Another reason given in the Gamara in the Mepharshan Rashi
• 23:59
  places over there is is because you want to bump into the
• 24:03
  mitzvah right away. Knows you don't want to waste
• 24:06
  time bumping into the mitzvah. So don't do it the aesthetic
• 24:09
  way, do it the halafic way, Hagar says there, Amar.
• 24:13
  Yeah, sure. I remember because you had them
• 24:14
  yeatsum in our bias. This is a very well known
• 24:17
  halafa, but often misconstrued as I'll point that in a moment.
• 24:21
  Shardam yeatsum in our bias. When leaving the home, you're
• 24:23
  near fior de El mezuzah. That's when you put your hand on
• 24:26
  the mezuzah. So a few things.
• 24:27
  First of all, doesn't say to kiss the mezuzah.
• 24:29
  I think that that comes from the chido or the Arizal, or maybe
• 24:32
  the chido to shame the arizal. But interestingly, he's talking
• 24:37
  about when you leave the house, most people kiss the mezuzah
• 24:40
  when you're entering, right? The Ramos is saying when do you
• 24:43
  kiss the mezuzah when you leave the home, the yomer and you say
• 24:47
  the pasta. Kashamish might say siwari may
• 24:49
  add to the adelam that may I be protected, the feigned Keshei
• 24:54
  Konnis, Adam Labias. And when you come in, you should
• 24:57
  also Yaniya, Yoda, Al Hamazuza, you should place your hand on
• 25:03
  the mezuzah. So it's now there's, I think if
• 25:05
  you would stop most people in the street and say, when do you
• 25:08
  kiss the mezuzah, they'll sell this.
• 25:09
  They'll say when you enter a room.
• 25:11
  So that's true, but also when you leave the room.
