Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 11 Part 1/3

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

On which doorways does the Kitzur require a mezuzah, and where on the doorpost does the Kitzur place it? We learn the hinge test for a door between two rooms, the bracha when a mezuzah is put up, and the doubtful cases where the Kitzur has it fixed without a bracha.

Key points

• The Kitzur exempts an entrance used only for loads when the room has a regular entrance.
• For a door between two equally used rooms, the Kitzur goes by where the hinges open.
• Fixed below the top third, the Kitzur has the mezuzah removed and re-fixed with a bracha.
• On a narrow doorpost, the Kitzur prefers it upright on the doorpost over slanted behind the door.
• The Kitzur calls for a new bracha when a mezuzah falls off, and leaves removal for checking unclear.
