Condo Resident Embattled Over Doorpost Mezuzah

A condominium resident is at odds with the condo association over its order that she remove from her doorpost or face fines.

The Connecticut Post reported that California Condominium resident Barbara Cadranel feels it is unfair that the condominium board has demanded she remove the mezuzah, a small object containing a scroll inscribed with a Hebrew prayer, or be fined $50 a day.

Cadranel told the newspaper that residents of other religions display religious decorations.

The association has a rule against attaching objects to the doorposts, while Judaism has a commandment to attach the mezuzah to the home’s doorpost.
