Mezuzah and Eretz Yisrael

• Menachot 45a

What difference is there between Eretz Yisrael and the Diaspora regarding the mitzvah of mezuzah?

Since this is not a mitzvah related to agriculture, it is obvious that it applies wherever a Jew resides. Nevertheless there is a difference in regard to when this mitzvah must be performed by one who rents a home.

Outside of Eretz Yisrael the renter is not obligated to place a mezuzah on his doorway until he has established a degree of permanence by living there for thirty days. In Eretz Yisrael, however, it is the obligation of the renter to fulfill this mitzvah immediately upon entry.

The reason given by the gemara is that this will facilitate "yishuv Eretz Yisrael" – the settling of the Holy Land by Jews.

How this will achieve that lofty goal is thus explained by Rashi:

Since it is improper for a Jew to remove a mezuzah when he leaves his home (Baba Metzia 102a), the renter will be reluctant to move out and incur the need to acquire another mezuzah. Even if he nevertheless moves, that home will soon attract another Jewish renter because it already has a mezuzah. In this manner Eretz Yisrael will be quickly settled by Jews.

What the Sages Say

"One who fulfills the mitzvah of tefillin will be rewarded with a long life."
