Is There an Obligation to Affix a Mezuzah in an Office
Question
Hello, honored rabbi,
I wanted to ask about the mitzvah of mezuzah. I work in an office that has rooms, a kitchen, a dining room, and so on. At the main entrance there is one mezuzah, but there are no mezuzahs anywhere else in the office. The question is: in which cases is a mezuzah required? Is an office obligated to have one, or is it optional? Because if it is, I need to say something about it, and I do not know how they will receive that..
Thank you very much!
Answer
Hello and blessings
It is a must to affix a mezuzah in every room of the office, but no blessing is recited when affixing the mezuzah.
It is a mitzvah to raise the matter gently, or to make a collection among all the office workers, with each person contributing a small amount, and in this way you will be able to fulfill the mitzvah of mezuzah properly and in accordance with halacha.
With blessings,
Benjamin Shmueli
