Which Doors Require A Mezuzah? Rabbi Yakov Zev Smith

[Music] yards small rooms etc for many years aaron smith recently we had a number of shivers about mezuzah the porch one shot about a backyard which instinctually had about a gym an indoor gym and in the swimming pool i decided i'm going to try to talk today about the halakhas of azusa specifically which rooms might be is there any difference the fact that it's outdoors we had a shower about a gazebo we'll soon see what that is the machia says that it's something that's outdoors it doesn't have four walls full four full walls but basically we have to try to clarify today because hashem it's really one year sawed that is what is the main requirement for akhir in other words we know for citizens you have to have dollar conflicts understandably that's the requirement the question is for mezuzah what do you need minimally to make in a mezuzah do you need a roof a ceiling over your head then it makes sense that a yard or a porch doesn't require a mezuzah because there's no roof there's no top on on it an outdoor playground the muscle is very functional but there's no roof on top of it is the rehave only when there's a covering on the top do you need four walls is that daft in other words and again an outside gazebo has four very short walls but it's not full walls is that enough to party from mezuzah do you need a door to make even a mezuzah many rooms don't have doors is it only a living quarters where you eat or sleep so basically i think we have to reduce it to one concept is it any useful area is it a bias so the embassies we lay we say krishna twice or three times a day and if you look at apostate in krishna you'll see what seems to be a mixed message because the target just says which of course sounds like the three of us is taliana bias now i think it's reasonable to believe that our playground is not a bias but then again the next word is ubisho is the outdoors and the truth is this is really what the gemara in menaches is is focused on the gemara says monochrome but gimbal and bay is the following bashar which means a gatehouse aksadra which is something that leads into the house um which we'll soon see if we tighten the pasta today is used as a porch but it's really more like a a going a step steps and the landing go into the house any area that land goes into the house is kyovan zuzu now we'll soon see exactly what that means in in our living today but definitely we see that good a entrance going into the house not the front door a base shower is the gatehouse aksadra is a structure in front of the house all of these things are even i presumably you don't eat or sleep in a bay shower on aksadra but it seems the fact that it leads into the house that's enough but what's interesting the gemara in yuma in the end of the aleph and i quote vatanya bisho [Applause] will soon see uh if you have a a entrance into a city la marshall i'll give you an interesting remark it says this video but let's see i have an airport terminal leading into a city of eden on the terminal because that's a chari medina goes into the city sharia yuri says and the gemara continues refuse a stall lulin a little shot and a girl my chicken coop oyster man now i don't have to explain this but obviously a chicken coop or a stall is not where we live and the gemara feels that all of these are higher than a mezuzah why because there are two categories for hiluka's mezuzah this beiserha is your house your living room your dining room etc and then there's the shorey sorry medina this will soon come back to this you know we we sometimes we come to kapowrus you smell the chickens you run the other way and they are saying that allah but that's what it seems so there are really two categories there's and then in fact the gemara on the top of the ahmed learns this from the pasik bishareka shari says just the opposite says you might think it is and everything else is potter now this is a stereo mine who obey the exact same list one gemara says potter and one maurice is high evan it can't be a stereo in the same gemara so twice is both in menaches and yuma asked this obvious question and tyson says midaraisa it's only a bias a bashar any gatehouse any entrance way is potter and the passage even on a secondary category of that means that in a entrance way is never had me their eyes but and this is probably the most important you say for today twice this quotes the riff that says that really if the shareholder leads into a house in other words if you have a gate house going into the house it becomes part of the house and it's highly direct if you have a regular archway la marshall in an open park and you have a full series of pesach but it leads to more park but not to obaya's that's potter but a shark that leads into the house even if you don't live in that entrance way it's high even amazon that if you have a entrance way that that you don't live in it's just an answer into the house if that's part of the bias it's higher like the bias if you look in the xiaomi in yuma based era and 500 and therefore it has the status of adira so we see what does it mean in the past we say it twice or twice every time i say krishna it could be six times a day what does it mean this is only high meter upon him but lower according to the rift if it leads into the bias it's higher me the rise and the rambam you know one entrance to another one as long as it eventually leads to the house it's so it comes out an interesting thing the same structure it's not what you live in if it leads into the house it's why obviously because it's thoughtful to the mezuzah but we see definitely from here into the bodies we see definitely from here that mezuzah is loved after where you eat or sleep rather a functional area so an entrance way a gateway is also functional okay this is also considered part of normal living it's loved after where you live there you could have ten but they sharing and they're all so now we realize it's loved after where you eat or sleep it's a functional room now you but i want to add a little more heads maybe a little more kashmak the gemara says in yuma that's why i'm gonna give a lumber bays that if you have a decrepit home that has no roof the roof caved in buy your my why obviously that's not called living with that you don't have a roof over your head so the kasha is so how could a bay shah or sorry medina a gateway into it a city kai even a there's no ceiling on top there's no roof the terrace is very positive if it's supposed to have a roof a house without a roof it's not a house so as blood bush explains it's not a house but a gateway its function is without a roof it's an entrance no no anchors have a roof entirely it has it through a surprise and that's it so in other words if it's that's the way it's functional it doesn't necessarily need a roof and this is kamak beforeish in a rush in the cosmos in the back of himself the that says this you saw it in a very pronounced way the rush has the bigger kasha because i will soon see a hotzer a garden a yard is higher than mezuzah i a yard is not with a covering on top there's no roof there's no ceiling says the rash um the front yard backyard is a very comfortable part of the house that doesn't have a roof so the lack of roof doesn't indicate it's a problem but if you have a house if you ever said that there is no roof it's not a bias so now we see a little closer to home you don't need a place where you actually eat or sleep you'd only need a roof over your head a bashar is high without a roof to add just a little more gesh market now we'll get to the halacha the gemara says and this is gepaskant in your video of gimmel you gimmel a bias that doesn't have at least download armist up with dollar amis in other words the 16 six and eight feet square of six to eight feet is not high enough why obviously it's not a bias so even though in alzheimer's enough which is much much smaller because success less than dalaran is not on the map yet we find the daniel now which is a one of the acharyan it was recently reprinted in the answer even a small gatehouse entranceway is and the emphasis the rashas in sukhadav gimmel even if it's very small so the kasha is manistana why is a small room less than dollar spot and a bay shower is higher so turrets is possible it's not even a caution a room that's too small is not functional it's archiving a mezuzah but a bashar who said it has to be big the typical base shower is small so the fact that it's small is not it does not indicate that there's something wrong with it so again it's all the same you say i think the definition for is functional a small room is not functional but a base shower even small is functional a room without a roof is not a roof it's not functional that is not a room it's not functional but a base char typically is functional a hudson a backyard the whole convenience the whole pleasure is your outdoors so it's a room without a roof fun the one thing believe it or not that we need before which is most important for mezuzah is based on the gemara menaches and the quote the gemara is patura leficia in la petsemen that basically this will soon see it's not like our not exactly like our gazebo but it's an archway that led into the house and they also use it's like something like a porch that has a structure to it it led into the house so the gemara says spot why so the kumar explains because this particular saga only has three walls and you walk into an open area it's like three walls and open like like a a garage that's completely open so what's wrong what do you mean the aleph of mezuzah is you have to have two mesozoics two door posts and a mask a lentil that's the most important part of mezuzah and this exaggerate has three walls it could even have a roof on it but there's no mezuzah there's no suros [Music] in parishes is not the parchment that you write it on me is the the door post the taste is read the pisgah read explains that we call the parasha based on the passage of mezuzah which means the doorpost you put it on amazon so the parachute is called the mezuzah but what's most important for me is it has to have a tsurusa pesa i mean sure the two doorposts of a typical house and one of course is the lentil so basically this is the correct definition of the mesos let me be very clear what exactly is required to have a mezuzah you don't need a biased afghan even a base jar even an outdoor area even a shower medina's hive you don't need a roof over your head because a base shower is high without a roof and the embassy is according to the rift it's jaime de raisa viscerals are clear of their eyes you don't even need three full walls we'll soon see a gazebo today's gazebo that has walls that are tenth vacuum at least tenth is enough this is says even with outdoors it's okay it's kind of weird so you don't need a door you don't need a roof you know what you need most importantly it has to be a functional area a house without a roof is not a house a small house is not a house but a bay shower that's functional as it is is high isola the rift without a roof and not it without even being dalaramas because basically a functional area is the one thing that it needs that's entirely is a tour you have to have two mezuzais and a mask now let's apply the islamists and hope you'll enjoy as much as i did how we see so many shadows are very simple once we have the asoy i saw recently one of the streets i forgot to make a note where it was but someone had a front yard like most homes have and he had a gate around it like most many homes have and he had a door that opens into the front yard that goes up the steps to his house but this house was unusual it didn't have a door with the gate the door was part of a full tsura suppressor picture you walk into someone's front yard the house include the outdoors you open the door and you look up there's a full tourist now if you want to see this next time you have a semicone you're in a terrace so the gate that goes into what we know most of the time as the yeshiva playground but it's also for you the area but there's a gate that separates the slash playground area and the street there are two like this in the gate there are two doors that go into the playground area both of them have doors but it also has a tourist a full tourist surpasser so you have a door source of pasture leading into the open shamayam those doors do and are required to have a mezuzah why i there's no roof over my head and i don't sleep or eat on the outside in the by the hope area or the playground area there's who cares this is a gemara bashar this is going into the area so those would be susan now that house the chair should be hyped that that has that archway should be driving a mezuzah now don't go home run home and say i have to put a mezuzah in my my front yard because many people most people i would say 99.9 if they do have a door but they don't have a true suppressor the door is connected but it doesn't have a tourist passive so that's safe whatsoever i looked into this i did find david in the helix many years ago but hitaka has this shyla about an archway you have out in the street but you lead into the house and it has a tourist pasta so he says that the maybe you potter because the guy might take it off and ruin the mezuzah so he says it then don't put up a tourist a festival if you can't have mezuzah but the point that i see which makes sense is that if indeed you have a sura surpassive leading into the yard even though you look up but it's it's keepers now some people have this is more common especially in other neighborhoods they have what's called an overhang now that's not a they basically have something like above the door area so they could stop when it's raining or snowing whatever and it has beams that's supporting the overhang but that's not a surah surpasser that's a part of a different shield we once spoke about that those beams are via the chassis to hold up the roof to overhang but it's not as an archway to go into the house and the gamora says the same suggestion over here you have two beams why don't we say go again has to have a mezuzah going into this part of basement there's a beam a beam over here tell us that these beams are both the chassis it's not an arch way to go from the right side of this magic to the left side of this mattress interesting the city of seagate not far from here has a as a gate around it has a bashar and even has ashamed sitting there watching that would be that's race paper of steve oliver medina i it's not i doesn't have a roof big deal i doesn't open into someone's house but this is shari medina's i sort of listen careless and chochani and simon awesome he says if you have a from a airport terminal leading into a city so the archway is the reason why i don't know if seagate has a miz or not but the embassy is the tarzan regis pavov and the shah both say and our khashoggi spells us out and see if i live sorry that's only if it's and i understand that seagate is not ruined so even if the mice it has a real qualified bashar it's recently i've seen this because of the heightened security many yeshiva's maesters have a little booth where shame a security guard sits outside of the building and he does his job hopefully the sheila is is that booth now the truth is that that's a bias and the embassy is rashi on that gemara and the taz in rage pay verb see cotton zion quotes rashi that beija really is the gate house where the shamer sits and you can't get anything better than that booth that some maesters have that lachaise should be but their state shiva is the double first of all if the sheimer is non-jewish and that's exclusively his place so there are plenty skin that say that if he's if it's not part of the house if you give a guy to live someplace not in your house if you give a guy to live a let's say a living maid lives in one room of the house if he's living in your house and he's not paying rent he's not does not rent department room you have to then you have to put a message because he's living in your quarters but this is an independent quarters so a guy is living independent quarters it's not your responsibility but more so that booth is less than dalai lama dalit it's not a dira on the literal sense it's it's basically a little cubicle so that wouldn't be required to have a mezuzah but that would be the closest according to rashi and it has that would be the real mccoy base shower what is interesting to mention many homes have you come into the front door and you have what's called a vestibule or for you basically you open the front door and you come into a little room that's what's the purpose of little room simply you don't want the cold to come in the heat to come in during the summer it's time it's more private you know someone's barging into your house so many homes you have is you open the front door little room and another door that leads into the house so it's interesting typically people put the nicest mezuzah where on the front door i mean at least the nicest was the case for sure that's the short but they put it on the front to outside where does it lead into a vestibule that's typically less than dollar or dollars and what what do you do in the vestibule nothing maybe i'm all this you hang hats and coats a little bit but at least my my own home my parents home their vest we both have vestibules less than dollar dollar dollars so the shia la is you're putting up a mezuzah and again typically people put the niceness of them and when they move in they make a bracha on the front door and then with that they put on this is an older house all the rooms in the house why are you putting brazil onto a room leading into dollar less than that the answer is that that vestibule is a perfect base shower perfect it's exactly what the rishi gemara is talking about and light the riff it's a key of their iso you go the beige shell leads into your bias now the embassy's i is less than dollar al dalid so now the truth is there are some that are arguing and also i would mention that according to the swiss and the most a beige shot is only higher let me draw a bottom that we can't change tracer says their eyes to their bottom so if you would ask me when you move into a house and you're making a bra on one door make it on the next door going into your house the outside door you could keep the fancy case that's fine but to make a bracha on the outside door that leads into a base shard let's only hide me through a bun on light isis and and so and if it's not valid i'll dial it i'm not that this vestibule would you could make a bra on it because you could rely on the sheet of the riff that is higher with the raisa and therefore it's a regular room and even like this it's made up on you make a bra under a bottom but it's not a full fee of like anything else so the mice i'll tell you another interesting aura that people that have a bathroom in their bedroom so again typically some people don't like to go from the bedroom to the bathroom they have a little room go into the other room and then flare into the base like he said so the embassy is that little room is a base shot but it's a base shower leading into a base like he said so since we understood the harvard of a bay shower is it becomes part of the room you're going into so we could say another dish which is not a fidicious polishes a base shot that leads into a mockingbird has the same tour so it's interesting you have a door going into a little room that's not a basic history but since it's functions as a bashar it becomes tougher than a bay shower and it's part of like the bathroom now if that room is a little bigger and it has a wall it has a sink so that's an interesting much legs you want to discuss which negative in many schools and many moistures and many categories we have a washroom that leads into the base of keysight so most players can say well if there's no base adhesive in that room so it's a washroom why is the washroom platform in mezuzah some say no but it's a washroom leading into the base of keysight so the question is in such a washroom that's really an independent washroom is it does it have the status of a regular room and it's higher the fact that the next one's the basic key say so what but some consider it as part of the basic kise and that's we'll notice i think most two atmospheres and some don't it's totally in this shy the next group of questions are basically questions of what identifies as a mezuzah for example moises today have playgrounds either ground level on a roof on a porch is that cliven versus going out to a playground a gym a pool a fully enclosed you have indoor pool as a regular room to a suppressor so the embassies you say but then again when you learn the gemara and the muhammad says payback right in the beginning see falafe a refus so why should a pool or gym be different the moisture says that this that you have on a wine cellar or it's busy and even if you go on once a year as long as it's functioning it's keeping the wine so la maison that's why i saw a wonderful say for speaking about a playground but more so a gym an indoor gym that has a full tourist passive and typically they have regular doors regulators are pesach why shouldn't it have a museum again it's going into one of the tashmish okay you don't eat or sleep in a gym but that's not the criterion so the choir it makes sense again i can't say i found the raj because they don't have gym the times of the raj boom and they're throwing the capacity they don't talk about it that maybe that's not so common but if you have a gym that has a real full-fledged sewer suppressor so and especially it's indoors and it's even because it has a roof on it like why shouldn't be driving a mezuzah so you say i said what so you could say something has nothing nice such a nice smell but then how is it less than a lull or refuse that should definitely be decided now but what he speaks about is a playground an outdoor playground let me explain basically again because we live in the city so everything has to be it's pretty much you know confined but in bed the backyard is converted into a playground which means you open the door the back door from the moisture and you go into a fully enclosed playground so you're opening a regular door with a full tourist suppressor instead of going into a backyard going with the playground so this is a regular tour suppressor and you're going into a fully functional area that the children use every single day unless it's very cold but it's it's a full fully used room so the hair that should be a little noisy to say without a broken it's outdoors but the truth is the playground is typically the benefit is during the summer it should be outdoors so to say that it's very perfectly logical certainly and this you don't see in our city because we don't have too much space but in moisters and suburban areas in muncie and lakewood they have a totally freestanding independent playground which means it's completely enclosed by a gate a regular door a regular series of pesto to keep the people out to lock it up at night to make it safe whatever it is so you're walking into a fully functional playground with a complete series of pesach i there's no roof but if that's the way it's used for carriage you want to have the benefit especially in warmer countries where it's it's warm most of the year why couldn't you keep it outdoors so the higher it's postured it should be again that's safer as a different heisman he feels is not with a broken for sure but these rooms are rooms that are functional the fact that there's no roof does not does not mean that it's not higher than a resistance now what we see today again in our city because there's so little space many moistures need playgrounds they don't have the space so they take they convert the roof to a playground of course they make it fully i'm talking i'm only talking if the roof is to go up there's a perfect marker a very safe marker but at the end of the day picture the roof has a completely enclosed playground with high fences perfectly safe now how do you go up onto this roof you go i'll tell you what i see when i'm in the shift kinda has you go up to the stairs a regular door regular tourist a pesta that leads you onto the roof simple complete sewer suppressor now it's still a roof it's still open on the top but it's fully enclosed it's safe so the endless says that you xiaomi in in dallas your base and magilla says that a typical roof is potted from azusa which is very positive because there was no makkah and it wasn't used so why is it high of azusa the fact that it's open space is not achievements but as i saw the door in in baseball says that if you have a roof that is enclosed and you use it and this is an of course an older muscle he gives but even if you only use it to hang laundry because before they use the dries and you survive so the fact that it's used you don't have to eat or sleep there this is to hang your laundry the deputy base at the gallop that a roof that's used why not it's one of the the usages of the house in fact they saw that points to a ramban in bavaria with base they're regarding hezekiah there's more hazard here by a roof than a hotsome and urban says because a god is more useful than a hudson thus in those days against a very good very much use and but the truth is our moisture they're so tight to space and they created a fully functional playground on the roof why shouldn't we behave in a museum now where do you put them on the right side going out because that's the room it happens to be a room that's without a roof but big deal the roof is not ma'akif now one thing i found to be a hidden if you have information please tell me and that's the question if a pool let's start with an indoor pool if that's it so again an indoor today ground even outdoor pools have the same quality because of course for smears we have to have the pool completely enclosed by a proper more so for safety every pool has a door that opens and locks to keep children out when there's no swimming so that we're talking about an indoor pool or an outdoor pool that has basically a full fledged surosa pesa dua and zuza's mask of the works so the embassies we know america is part of a mezuzah but as all the police can explained that's only america that's malay zuama a very unclean area in those days they didn't wash off in and america's was a place that even hiro is awesome it was one of the dirtiest places and even here is us but our pools are clean now the embassy cotton test is a mikvis potter even in the dress room because i am them some are roman but our pools that people wearing bathing suits so it doesn't have that reason to pat them so the embassies meet a lot i'm not saying it's a it's it's the proper thing you can make a bracha and learn in a pool if you're dressed at least moderately so why shouldn't a pool hive in a museum so the question for the outdoor pool has no roof so what the roof is not making if i carry it you want an outdoor pool so the embassies but what am i doing to pull i don't eat or sleep i swim but again once you understand that that's that that is your dining room but any functional room a bay shower is highly direct so why should a pool be different so i looked into it again i couldn't if i didn't he says that basically a pool is kaivana the only thing is he says if if the pools in the mountains and when they don't have a mix for on the premises they use the pool as a mikveh so that he brings a good rally attacker that a based heaven and base ate some left you you you wash there and you own them arum that's enough to part of the area so a pool even though its main usage is with bathing suits but if it's used for the mikveh so then it's possible okay but let's see the pool today grounded many colonies have their own mikvah so if you have a pool that's only used for swimming also this very shyla swimming is not a mokkem ganay so why should it be now i found a number of the high integrity police that all agreed that it should be higher than jesus now again one there it's rolled the capacity he says but a pool that you pay for per usage so no one's the violence so it's like a rental uh in and out like a hotel overnight but our pools are owned by you by buying them the only one i found that says the fairies that spot this message responded that and i quote that a that this pool area is i am the car room him he calls it it's not a divas covered no la maison i haven't seen a a a a a mezuzah on a pool area but it's talking interesting point it should we need to know why not if it has a full suicide passage indoor or outdoor again if it's owned by an individual and it's not used as a mikvah and there's no one show my room and it's clean and seiko it should be someone has information i'd love to hear next question is negaya to many camps bungalow counties it's becoming very popular and i'll explain why and that's what's called an english gazebo now we have probably half a dozen an hour camp it's a wonderful option to make learning outdoors very pleasant basically it's a structure made out of wood with low walls just just as a micro height it's known to fall down it gives you the experience of being outdoors and they build it in the wooded areas you're learning it with the british arms nature it's a beautiful magnet there's a roof walls all four sides but low walls just tense there's a tour surpassing going in it's like a regular share room but it has the breeze unless it's a very hot day you don't need air conditioning now there's no door okay so it's only with the abundant but basically this seems to be a new form of aqsagra now again the gemara zak sadra when you learn more properly you'll see was such a structure that led into the house it's like like a porch leading into the house this is a freestanding independent gazebo that has four walls four halakhadika walls i mean you have to yeah you have to see that's a tenth but four walls a roof a full series of pesach and the question is it's kaivan so when you that's a regular why i we said earlier if you remember so why are you like the helicopter if it only has three walls it's missing the ikka tsuru tourism it's part and gansen but this ashtaji de bairav has four walls with a prophet surah sapes so not only its but the avid and junior malia it's a full-fledged here in fact the police can say so now the question is our gazebo which is not exactly doesn't lead into a house but it has ala my list four walls it has a tourist a pesach it has a roof even no time and okay it doesn't have a door so still hide me there but you could still make a bracha if if you hold that that without it was high in he's talking about a gazebo that you live and you eat and drink you can make a bracha on that gazebo why it's regular living now again i want to be very clear let into a house but this is like it like its own house it has all the requirements now however i've seen many exaggeras that i use in day camps and camps and i haven't seen them as usual yet now i did my homework why not so what i heard from the shampoo skin i couldn't to speak to them personally is that a since it's only used just for a sheer an hour two or three whatever it is but not used like a basmatis of day and night it's not even what's the source the shack and taz when the discusses that a basic nessus basic nest means only for davening is certainly possible a base hamadrish is hive and the shah says i so this place that i heard quoted was that these gazebos are used to shield him so therefore it's not now the embassy is but then again if that's the case and all the our share rooms and yeshivas and all our day camp rooms and that that they learn in just for a few hours a part of a mezuzah so the emma's the tour and simon raised paper very interesting story he said man ruthenberg did put up a mezuzah only after he said that really he didn't have musicism but he went slept in the afternoon and he had a very bad dream so he decided he better put up a mezuzah so we see when someone sleeps in the basement he's hiv so typically when they give you share during the summer trust me people fall asleep but but even not if they they use it hour can't wait to use attack a number of hours and occasionally they have an ionic shabbos on shabbos but the embassy is again if you want to be technical so it comes out that really even a base message unless you learn it day and night imagine a person builds a new basement and he calls them no you can't make a broke on the best matches though because you don't use it day and night so attacker revolves in the hell that you better make a broker on one of the private rooms that people use for for living quarters but this is a big sugar about a basement but the the fact is that people are sitting and learning for so many hours with adam azuza i think it's a good finish at least i'm not saying to make a break on it but if it's taco not used day and night there is a chat to be mako but the fact is that the structure of it is at least higher like any other bias chain boy dallas today we have a interesting scenario many homes many private homes and certainly many moisters have a door let's give a perfect example someone has a two family house he lives upstairs so he opens the door going up to his house and what does he see a staircase he doesn't eat and sleep in the staircase he goes upstairs to another door that goes into his house is there on the outside door that opens only to a staircase today meisters yeshiva's apartment buildings have a door opening to staircases second floor third floor all the way up no one lives in a staircase is the uh is that door the front door that leads to staircases that hive in the mezuzah the answer for us is that is a typical baisha ah you'll say but i have like i lived the fifth floor terrific you made it to the rambam the realm says even ten but this arm is now the embassy is here to be very be clear mere pesces today a modern hebrew passage it uses a porch mere pesos in the gemara which is rashi and yuma yun alev says it's very close to our staircases rashi of the gemara more typically is a staircase with a landing that they they used that's why it was more of a but today a modern hebrew pesticide has become a poet we'll soon speak about a poet but i saw the javascript that had madre is like a bashar and if it has it sure is a pasta again that's the icker it's so basically we could say that this staircase is at least a bashar and like the the like it's their bonner or their iso but i would add for those that keep items they keep strollers or they keep items in the the in the staircase so it could be also like a bay size so that's another reason why it's high now another interesting group of questions that i think today will appreciate because now we have the sugar hopefully clear is the question of a person that has a porch now i'm going to use this halogen ore and just as just imagine imagine this is a door going out to my porch my porch is on the street and there's no way to get from the street to the porch it's the typical porch that people have they open the door of the house the dining whatever and they go onto the porch go through this right because you go onto the porch where do you put them azusa or typically you have a backyard so again let's say this would be the door to the backyard and you go out to the backyard that's open to their bonus level in the backyard there's a door full towards the pestle going out to the backyard or going out to the porch that's outside so the answer this will we'll we'll we'll say let's assume just for a moment that this is not the backyard this is the front of my house and i'm a best dimension type of person and i have a sewer surpasser and a door okay imagine this pardon me using the prophet this prophet is a door and this is a full sewer surpasser going into my front yard and they they're going to my house i might have mezuzah on this full-fledged archway going into my yard that's takaski so you're right no this is a regular basis on the right side going in obviously right why not pause it right so you see up on the right there going in and that's in other words you're going into a yard it's a in your day raised paybob siphala based on two gomorrahs shari khatsera it's like this right over here front door front yard going into the yard is hiding with the rice in the mezuzah okay the question is why are you hiding in missoula going into an open yard so i'll tell you like you said was hey why not it's like a baisha and taka that's the way the rambam the and dimension the me and yuma the benign all say that this door going into my front yard is khai of al-sabaysha however if you look at the rush that i mentioned earlier i'll read it again because it's one again the dearest have bought him the rush is learning that the reason on the front door going into the yard is because the yard is one of the rooms of your house as we'll soon see the hazardous explained in those days their small homes they used their yard for all the tashmeshia buyers they cooked they they prepared the food they sowed they laundered they laundry so just like the the dining room is the artist why it's one of touch mesh so this archway is hive because it's the door going into your yard the hots itself is on the right side going into the earth what's the difference if it's beijar or right but one thing i want to tell you that it's going to be an aftermath of all that with shaivis because you look at the on this rush he says oh the rush says a room that's different than the rambam that said the fever is out now you're wondering what's the nascamina a beautiful nascamina let's just change your mindset and this is a door going out to your backyard okay now the question is where do you put the mezuzah you're running well what's the shiny one like the rush you put it going out to the backyard right because it's one of the rooms but like the ram manga and the eerie why is it because it's a base shot going with your house now in the backyard we're going to put the mezuzah you're going to go into the yard walk into your house understand that the yard is the bashar into your house and you put it on the right side going back into your back of your house now this is not my fetish listen a door going to and he says what's the shield you put a door you put him azuza going into the hot so the hot says one of the rooms of the house and the taz in ray's pay test steve dallad crystallizes us he writes at the end of that sticker there are so many people that are confused i felt obligated to explain and the route and the taz explains your backyard is one of the rooms of your house so where do you put the mazoos when you go into your dining room going into the dining room so where do you put the muzzumi go into the backyard right side of the backyard and he bases it on the mariel so he says why are you confused and maria and the taj understand that a backyard is like one of the rooms of your house so there's absolutely no confusion someone said yep i'm going out of my house no you're going into a room called backyard so what do you go out of your house based on however as you could understand if you understand that the chief of a sailrite is a bashar argues the base mayor and they raised pay tests very emphatically he says the real he writes very edel i i can't argue on the maril but saying all does he argue and he says that it can't be the rambam new york say that a yacht is high about the bay shower so the yard is going into your house says the basement you cannot put up a mezuzah on the right side going out of your house to the yard you put on the right side going into your house from the yard wait wait wait and he says it over and over icha of the hou is the house and the yard is the way to get into the house now wait wait so he says yes now listen to this yes the the my real hell put it going out because he learned like the ross that the is because the yard is a bias but i'm telling you that the house is the icker not the yard but listen to what he says and if you you know hear this you'll appreciate this he says look at the way people talk you say you put the mezuzah the gate right now here he says when you say going to the yard what do you say what i mean i'm going into the yard no it's vegas parrot says you're going out so from that alone he says again steve what do you mean you go and get back terry said yeah yeah yeah this looks good so he's saying you're going out to the yard you're leaving the house you don't make a bra you don't put them so they're going out but only coming in is where you put the mezuzah wait wait and then has the same exact approach and even again he also explains that the mariel and the taz understood that the hotzer is one of the rooms but he says but the bias is definitely the icker now that hasn't it spells out like this this your site so it comes out our question of going to a backyard and we'll soon see the exact same story is with a porch is basically resigning what's the theme of is it a bashar going out then you have to put it going into the house or is an independent room now here's what i think is most important to mention that says something that i think will all could relate to him he says even the mariel will be murdered in our times that the hutzer the backyard is not used for trina affair trojan oil in those days the yard was a fully functional room you have to realize especially if you live in warmer climates you could use the backyard 10 months a year unless it's in a little colder heritage swirl the bag the outside is used often here in america how many months could you use it is that too cold too hot but the hazardous seems to say that an hour time that the yards are only used infrequently it's not a fader even the mario will be maida you put on the right side going in so this is the real versus the messianim the and that was the easy ending part now you ask me so what do i do the mice well consult with someone smarter than i am but i think we can understand is that the if indeed your backyard is not biased if you don't use it that often use it for sukis because you don't have to go to ghost you go in the backyard and you enjoy them all shabbos afternoon and you take out a ramban with a guzzle tay on the backyard but if it's not echoed it doesn't qualify for the russians so that's why again if you have such a situation we could understand the khazanish's point if you have a backyard that leads to a garage or many people have a converted garage into an office so they go out to the backyard that's only to get to the office or garage then even the casino is you're going and continuing to the house as if the house extends you put on the right side going out if again if you rarely use your backyard than the it could and what's interesting is if someone tells me i use my yard more than anybody in this universe so if you look closely i think the hazardous would agree you put it going out but marielle says i'm sorry the basement stresses the bias is the icker and you never put it going out of the bias so even in this case he would say put it going in and the next question is an upstairs porch which i mean there's no axis on the street again here is your house and here is your door going out to the outdoor porch there's no axe on the street it's the exact same cylinder and you should know that pastas many people say well you put it going out but he have to really evaluate what your porch serves as can you say that this is like the rush described that it's like a room of the house can you say this what like mariel says that this is like one of the rooms of the house i'm going in the porch if if you use it infrequently then it's not and then the bias is the icker and this is the toefl then you would have to put the mezuzah on the right side going into your house i say wait a minute but i'm going back home back in my house right but that's the point to put it going out to a street is never hype imagine if this would be this door to my right would only open from the inside an emergency door and you but everybody use it because that's you know the more you are if you have only emergency but you can't come in from the street you can only go out so it's okay you don't put it going out to the street so this they say that'll be the same thing going out to the street so you have to put the message on the right side going in now again to consult your local orthodox rabbi but there are plenty written about this but the beauty is that this question of the back backyard or the porch is really the macholicus rush versus rambam material and others all the way down to but let me leave you with one question food for thought because if it's negative you should research this today i've seen more than i ever seen elevator shafts having a mezuzah on it now the embassies we grew up elevated didn't have mezuzah's and i can understand why because an elevator is not a place to live you can't live in that little car or cab as it's called it's very often less than al dalid and even if it's down that i'll dial it but you know it's not even it's less than a roy you know the the race pay above your aleph but an elevator is even worse than that because when it's not functional you could personally fall down clearly get hurt so it's basically not a mezuzah in minnesota has an analogy imagine you walk out of this room and there's a box being drawn by a horse and it takes you places on that that's what he says so that's why we understood that there's no on an elevator not on the cab because it's just it's to arroyo but the atmosphere think about what we learned today there's a good reason to understand why dereli feel that it should need embazzle and this is what they say on the ground floor no never put them on the cab itself because that's not haiman that's that's a roy and that's that's that that's that's too small but are you on the ground floor you put it on the the tourist of pesach which it has a real tourist going into the elevator that's the base shower going to your floor now you live on the 37th floor right so why is that because that's the base shot to the 37th floor when you get out of the elevator to your floor where do you put the mezuzah right side going in now is that a sphere no because on the ground floor it's the base shower going to the up floors and each floor has a feed going out so if you don't have a mezuzah on your elevator you better research to know why i couldn't talk to you thanks foreign
