PLEASE RESPOND TO: KEN WOLMAN whuxe!ktw (201) 740-4565 ********************************* I have some questions about the proper procedures for moving into a new home that I would like answered Jewishly. We are moving on December 3. Besides affixing the mezuzot, what if anything is supposed to be done in terms of berachot to be recited, actions to be performed, etc. Also, does it make any difference that the house is not owned but rented? Responses will be deeply appreciated. -- mhuxv!segs

I don't know what the ruling is if one rents a house, but I'll inquire of my father ( an orthodox rabbi ) and I'll post what he says. Eliyahu Teitz. p.s. titchadesh
