Mechitzah - Height? Part II

Hi,

As with the previous two posts, this may be subject to debate, but Rav Moshe Feinstein ruled that a mechitzah's height is measured from the floor of the adjoining sections. Therefore, a shul with a 60-inch mechitzah, but with a women's section raised 10 inches, would only have a 50-inch mechitzah.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 4:31)

מועדים לשמחה,
Mordechai
