Menachot
32b:
The Proper Positioning of the Mezuzah
Rab Judah further said in the name of Samuel:
The precept is to fix it within the space of the door.
[I.e., upon that side of the door-post which faces the door
but not upon the side which faces outward toward the street or inward toward
the house within.
Is not this obvious? Does not the Divine Law say: “And upon thy gates?”
I might have thought that, since Raba stated that the
[proper performance of the] precept is to fix it
in the handbreadth nearest to the street, the further it is from
the house the better, he therefore teaches us [that it is not so].
