bracha - reaffixing the mezuza after checking

By -
When giving mezuzos to be checked, it is the regular hoira'a here in yerushalayim that if they are reaffixed the same day a person doesn't have to make a bracha when putting them back [each one to its exact place]. But if they are only put back the next day (or later) one must make a bracha.
Are there any other minhagim in this case/s?

    THE RABBANIM HERE PASKEN THE SAME WAY.

    THE ONLY TIME IT IS A SAFEK IS IF THE MEZUZOS WERE TAKEN DOWN BEFORE SHKIYA AND PUT UP AFTER TZES. BUT THE NEXT DAY IS DEFINITELY CHAYEV A BRACHA

    Here in NY no bracha is recited even if they were taken off in morning and put back at night.
    I am not clear whats the halacha if the mezuzos are not marked to be put back on the same place.

      הרב מדברצין בעל באר משה ז"ל היה אומר שאין לברך רק ורק אם בעל המזוזה עומד כל זמן מול הסופר מתחלה עד סוף הבדיקה ומחזירם מיד. דוקא בצורה זאת אין צריך לברך, אבל אם הלך ללמוד הרי הסיח דעתו וחייב שוב לברך.
      ובספר מבי דינא מביא ששעה או שעתיים חשיב הפסק

      וכן בילקוט יוסף :
      מי שהסיר את המזוזה מפתח ביתו ונתנה לסופר כדי לבודקה ולהגיה
      אותה ונמצאת כשרה כשחוזר לקובעה בפתח ביתו חוזר ומברך לקבוע מזוזה
      ואם הסיר המזוזה על דעת לעשות לה תיק נאה יותר וחוזר לקובעה אין צריך
      לברך אלא אם כן השהה אותה בידו שעדת רבות עד שהסיח דעתו ממנה שאז
      צריך לברך קודם שיקבענה ואם נפלה המזוזה מעצמה ממזוזת הפתח וחוזר
      לקובעה הדבר שנוי במחלוקת אם יברך עליה כשקובעה שנית וספק ברכות
      להקל פח

      א"ש

      האם ידוע לכבודו שמא יש הסוברים שאין לברך גם אם מסר את המזוזה לבדיקה, ויודע שרק יחזור לקבעו מחר או מחרתיים??
      ואם ידע מסברא זו מי הם? ומה טעמם?

      זה מאוד מעננין אותי.

    From the lashon of the Aruch Hashulchan 289:4 it implies only next day one makes a new bracha.See also his comparison with mezuzahs to taking off a talis.
    R" Ovadiah Yosef holds that one always makes a bracha on re e fixing mezuzahs even for the same day.(see the sefer Sechel Tov sif katan 26 and 27).

    In general often there is a reason to make a new blessing in any case, either because the mezuza was posul or upside down or posted incorrect according to halacha.

shin in "Alter Rebbe" script

Both the Shulchan Aruch Harav and the Mishnah Brurah use similar terminology when describing the importance of the shin being "pointy" on the bottom and all three branches of the letter shin meeting at a point or "chad" at the bottom of the letter. There is a strong foundation in Halacha for this and for the bottom of the shin to be flat like a moshav (base) is considered questionable (Pri Megadim) and definitely not Kosher Lechatchillah. It is worse if the moshav is very wide, but it is still questionable if it is lechatchillah if there is a thick noticeable base rather than a chad. Even for Sephardim, who lechatchillah make an angular base, it is still important that the base is indeed on a (significant) angle. If the base is flat, even if all three branches of the shin come out of the base  connected , as in the top picture, it is problematic.  It is worse in the bottom picture below where the right head/ branch comes out of the right part of the base and the m

The different ways of forming the"Hefsek Parshas Stuma" in tefillin parshiyos.

Following Ari's post, I have cut and pasted an article I wrote for a local publication some time ago on this very issue. I think it sums up this issue and the various shittos. I also suggest Rav Yonason Hershlags kuntres on this topic called "stumah shebestam". The different ways of forming the"Hefsek Parshas Stuma" in tefillin parshiyos. Introduction There is a common misconception that the only difference between the different minhagim (customs) of tefillin parshiyos is the ksav (font) they are written in. For example if a person is Sephardic, the ksav will be "Vellish", a script that is unique to Sephardic Jews; If one is of traditional Ashkenazic and non-Chassidic background, then he would usually get the "Beis Yosef" script;  If one is "Chassidic", he would get the "Arizal" script, etc.  While this is correct, there are also different opinions and minhagim on how to make the spacing between the parshiyos of th
