Listen "Moed Katan 11a: Do Porches and Balconies Need a Ma’akeh? "
Episode Synopsis
Is a porch or outdoor balcony obligated in the mitzvah of ma’akeh—the Torah command to build a safety railing? In this episode, we explore the classic sources, including the Sifri, Ritva, and Chazon Ish, and examine the major halachic debate between lenient and stringent views. We’ll also clarify the difference between halachic obligation and safety requirement, whether a bracha is recited, and what practical steps homeowners should take today.
