Public Comments & Discussion
Hi, these videos are wonderful, they are very helpful. THANK YOU SO MUCH! We have a questions regarding affixing Mezuzot on our children bedrooms. The 2 bedrooms share a bathroom (Jack and Jill), in this case is appropriate to put a Mezuzah in each door of their bedroom?
Yes each room needs its own mezuza, besides for a bathroom. There are various other details, worth asking your local orthodox rabbi – or asktherabbi at chabad.org – Have a great day!
