Does My Garage require a Mezuzah?

6/18/2017

Yes it does, however as far as a Brachah/Blessing is concerned it depends on the location of the garage. If it is adjoining or part of the house, such that one can exit the car and walk through a door into the house without leaving the garage all agree a Brachah/Blessing is recited. If however the garage is not adjoining or part of the house nor encircled by a gate that encompasses both it and the house it is a matter of dispute and therefore a Brachah should not be recited.

My house has an attached garage.
I put a mezuzah on the doorpost of the garage which is an entrance to the house. Do I also need to put a mezuzah facing into the garage from the outside or from the house entrance to the garage (which is the same door for entrance to the house)?

Is the garage door itself considered the "front door" if it is used almost exclusively (vs the door that faces the street) as the way into the house? Or is the door from the garage into the house the "front door"? although all my Mezuzahs are the same I would eventually like to put up the best mezuzah and case on the true "front door" ....

thank you in advance, I hope this is an appropriate form to ask this question as it relates to Garage doors and Mezuzahs...
