Question
A person who replaces a door in their home along with the doorpost and needs to remove the mezuzah and affix it again, do they need to recite a blessing on the mezuzah when they put it back?
Answer
When one removes a mezuzah in their home and puts it back, if they have never recited a blessing on the mezuzah, such as when they bought the apartment with mezuzahs affixed by the previous tenant, they should recite a blessing when putting it back. However, if they or their agent have once recited a blessing on these mezuzahs, they do not recite it again. Since a blessing was recited on affixing the mezuzah in the past, it should not be recited again when putting it back.
