Question
Is it obligatory to place a mezuzah at the entrance of an elevator, and if so, on which side should it be placed?
Answer
An elevator requires a mezuzah by rabbinic decree, similar to a gateway to a house. However, since there are differing opinions, a blessing is not recited upon its placement. The mezuzah should be placed on the right side of the entrance at the ground floor. On other floors, it should be placed on the right side of the exit from the elevator to the stairwell.
