Eye Problems Anybody?

This mezuzah was found in the house of a person recovering from a serious eye operation. Notice that two of the threetaggim on the nun in the word עיניכם are missing. The word means ‘your eyes’. Since taggim can be added after the mezuzah is finished being written, I fixed the mezuzah and put it back up.

Where do I put the mezuzah on a tall doorway?

The halacha is to place the mezuzah at the begining of the top third of the doorway. As long as it is at least one tefach (handbreadth, about four and one half inches) from the top of the doorway it is kosher. If the doorway is very high, the mezuzah is placed at shoulder height. What is considered very high? If the mezuzah would be above the face of a normal person, the doorway is considered ‘very tall’ and the mezuzah should be placed at shoulder height. The reason for this is that mezuzos are meant to be seen, so that we remember Hashem and his torah.

If this is the letter ‘Vov’ how can that be the letter ‘Raish’?

 

Here is a picture of a mezuzah that I was checking on a Mezuzah House Call in Monsey, NY on 4/28/10. Take a look at the last letter on the top line. While it is supposed to be a ‘vov’, the top is to long and it is taking on a characteristic of a ‘raish’. Now look at the second to last word on the bottom line. The last letter is supposed to be a ‘raish’ but the gog (roof) is so short that it looks like a ‘vov’. What is interesting here is that within the same mezuzah we have two letters that are contradicting each other. If the ‘vov’ is a ‘vov’, than the ‘raish’ can’t possibly be a ‘raish’. It is as if the top line of this mezuzah is testifing against the bottom line! The ‘vov on the top line appears to be at least as long as the ‘raish on the bottom line. In fact, depending on where you begin measuring from, the ‘vov’ on the top line is actually longer than the ‘raish’. Here’s something to think about: Which is worse? The ‘vov’ or the ‘raish’? I would venture to say that the ‘vov’ on top is worse. I have brought mezuzos with ‘raishes’ with short gagim (tops) to rabonim an they were machshir (approved) them.

New Megillos For Sale

Used Megillah For Sale: $450.00

This Megillah is about sixty years old. The writing is nice and for the most part strong and black, but there are some spots that are fading. I am selling it ‘as is’. I will not put time into fixing up the faded spots because that would necessitate raising the price. If you have $600 to spend you should go with a new megillah. This megillah is right for you if $450 is your limit. If you look closely you will see that somebody wrote in some of the cantillation marks. You will also notice that the last amud (column) was rewritten and sewn on.
