Question
We have a door at home with hinges on the right side, and the door covers the entire doorpost. Where should the mezuzah be placed?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
If possible, it is good to carve a place on the width of the right doorpost to insert the mezuzah, and care should be taken that the groove is not a tefach deep [≈ 8 cm]. If this is not possible, the mezuzah should be placed on the outer side of the doorpost near the entrance.
