# The minhag is to put the mezuzah in a case.<ref>Maaseh Rav n. 98 cites the practice of the Gra to place the mezuzah directly onto the post with no case specifically so that there’s no intoposition between the mezuzah and the post. Pitchei Teshuva 289:2 quotes this but questions it. However, Aruch Hashulchan 289:19 and Yabia Omer YD 8:29 strongly disagree with this citation and think that the Gra never said it. Agur Bohalecha (ch. 9 fnt. 3) writes that the minhag is not concerned for this citation of the Gra and it isn’t recommended since it will make the mezuzot invalid much more quickly. He also records the practice of Brisk to follow this citation of the Gra.</ref> | |||
