Question
I have a large balcony at home (14 sq. meters). Where should the mezuzah be placed: on the right side of the entrance from the house to the balcony or on the right side of the entrance from the balcony to the house?
Answer
Shalom Rav
If the balcony is enclosed and suitable for sleeping, the mezuzah should be placed on the right side of the entrance from the house to the balcony. However, if the balcony is open, without a roof and walls, the mezuzah should be placed at the entrance from the balcony to the house.
