Yoma 11: The Mezuzah-less Gates of Mehoza
from Talking Talmud · host Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
On mezuzot. In Mehoza. It was a Jewish city, so why didn't the town gates have a mezuzah? Or were they really gates? Or would that really matter for the need for a mezuzah? Plus a concern regarding checking mezuzot per the halakhic requirements, at the same time of danger. Also, a list of places that do NOT need mezuzot. And those that do, despite potential inferences from the biblical verse that would suggest otherwise. And some refection on the protection factor. NOTE: Some audio weirdness towards the very end - it resolves.
