Thanks for the link- very informative.
The wife's background is Eastern European/Ashkenazi, and she remembers her dad always placing the mezuzah at an angle, so that's the way I'll do it. Without any other instruction I'd have gotten out the plumb gauge, drawn a line and had it straight up and down. But then I'd have made a gasket for it too instead of the more simple wax paper roll ... like I said, lot to learn.

All great points alon. Something to consider is wrapping the scroll with wax paper and that will protect it. Here is a link that has some ideas on how to do it right. I personally place mine straight up and down without any lean but that does not mean my way is the right way or not the right way  Shalom www.hasofer.com/page.pl?p=attach |

Yes I do it just looks off to me. The Mezzuzah though regardless of how one has it attached to their door, whether with a lean or not I know that it is like one of those "safe place" signs you see around, it shows as an outward sign upon the door that the home is wanting to follow Adonai. If there was a time of trouble and I was needing to find a safe home, the one with the mezzuzah would be the first choice Yedidyah |
