In fact, in present day Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), I have seen many doorposts with a "sunken in" mezuzah. I've even seen it thus in some places in NYC. ---------- A correction or my previous posting on this subject : the source in the Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh Deah, for these halachos is simanim (sections) 285-291. These are preceded by the halachos of Sefer Torah, simanim 270-284. Asher Meth ....... meth@nyu-csd2.arpa ....... allegra!cmcl2!csd2!meth
