The King Who Guards the Gate: The Lomdus of the Laws of Mezuzah

By Ephraim Meth

The King Who Guards the Gate connects lomdus and hashkafa (Jewish philosophy) and halacha leMa'aseh (Jewish law) in a seamless and engaging manner. If you've ever asked yourself one of the following questions, then you should buy this book Are mezuzot for protection, or to remind us of Hashem's oneness? If mezuzot are for protection, what do they protect: people, movable property, or real estate? What do they protect from: physical harm, or discord and arrogance? How do they protect: is it the merit of the mitzvah, the merit of remembering the ideas that mezuzot represent, or something else? Is mezuzah an obligation of the house, or of the resident? Is the mitzvah to put mezuzot on doorways, or to live in a home with mezuzot? May I put mezuzot on my doors before I move into my house? If I forgot to say a bracha when I put my mezuzot up, may I say it at a later time? Must landlords put mezuzot on the doors of vacant apartments? Do submarines need mezuzot? Do offices need mezuzot? Do emergency exits need mezuzot? Do prisons need mezuzot? Do timeshares need mezuzot? Which is more important: mezuzah, or tefillin? Why are paragraphs indented in mezuzot, but not in sifrei Torah?
