Kissing the Mezuzah


Question:

I have a friend who kisses the mezuzah in each and every room he enters. Is this ok?



AskTheRabbi.org answered:

What your friend is doing is perfectly acceptable. The Rabbis teach that a person must be cognizant of the fact that the Mezuzah is there when he/she walks through the doorway which is why many people have the custom to kiss it each time and not just on entering the house.
