A Loosely Affixed or Hanging Mezuzah

 The mezuzah case (with a kosher mezuzah inside) needs to be affixed firmly to the doorpost; therefore, if it is affixed loosely it is invalid.

See Tur (Yoreh Deah 289) in the law of תלה במקל

Mezuzah: Divine Protection and Blessing (P. 238)

Jewish identity and its commitment to service of Hashem must be strong and never weakened.

Width of the Tefillin Retzuah (Straps)

The Retzuah of Tefillin needs to be a minimum width of a seorah (barley cornel). According to R. Chaim Naeh this is 10 mm. In a pressing situation 9 mm is still enough to recite a blessing on the Tefillin. This minimum width requirement applies even to the beginning section of the retzuah that protrudes from the yud shaped knot on the Tefillin Shel Yad.

Shulchan Aruch Admor Hazaken (Orach Chayim 27:20). Ketzos Hashulchan in the supplements of vol. 1 (p. 89).

Even when serving Hashem in our own unique way, it must be within the boundaries so designated by our Sages.

The Yud Knot Should be in Constant Physical Contact with the Tefillin

One should be careful that the Yud knot of the Tefillin Shel Yad should be constantly touching the Tefillin for the reason explained in the Zohar; that the Choshen (Brestplate) was constantly bound to the Kohen Gadol’s Aphod (apron). One should be stringent to insure that the Yud knot should be touching the Tefillin even when they are not being worn.

Shulchan Aruch Admor Hazaken (Orach Chayim 27:5). Mishna Berurah (27:10).

We need to be constantly cognizant of our Divine connection with Hashem.

Pasul Sefer Torah that Fell to the Ground

If a kosher Sefer Torah falls to the ground, the one who dropped it and those who are present need to fast. Even if the Sefer Torah is not kosher one needs to fast.

Chayim She’al (1:12).

 When something so dear to us falls we may not stand by as if nothing happened.
