Question
I have a house with 5 rooms, and for now I have only 3 mezuzot and another 2 mezuzot that I will borrow from a gemach (free-loan fund). Only in a month and a half will I be able to buy two additional permanent mezuzot. When I now affix the borrowed mezuzot, do I need to recite a berakha over them? And when, in a month and a half, I affix the two new mezuzot that I will buy, will I have to recite a berakha again?
Answer
Shalom u-verakha
When you affix the borrowed mezuzot, you must recite a berakha.
When you later replace the borrowed mezuzot with permanent ones, no berakha is recited.
