Question
The entrance to the synagogue courtyard had walls on both sides of the entrance, but there was no lintel above, and now a sign has been placed there. Does this require a mezuzah?
Answer
Although if the upper part is only for decoration or to support the ceiling, it does not require a mezuzah, nevertheless, since here it slightly separates the inner space from the outer, it seems to require one, but without a blessing.
