Title: Additions to House
Author: Chaim Simons Date: Oct 24 2011

Consider the following scenario (which is in fact relevant to my apartment). A person makes the “zecher l’churban” in his house opposite the front door as required by halachah. At a later date he builds additions to his house and as a result this “zecher l’churban” is no longer opposite his front door. Is he required to make another “zecher l’churban” opposite his new front door?
