It's Not the Jewish Doorbell! How the Mezuzah Protects Jewish Homes All Over the World

Learn the basics of this special mitzvah: showing what’s inside, where to place it, how to do it, and its extraordinary impact. Mezuzah literally means “doorpost,” and it refers to a small parchment scroll upon which the Hebrew words of the Shema are handwritten by a scribe. Mezuzah scrolls are rolled up and affixed to the doorposts of Jewish homes. The mezuzah is the hallmark of the Jewish home, demonstrating that it leads to a Jewish household. When a Jewish family affixes a mezuzah on their permanent residence they are forming another link in Jewish history and continuing a tradition that goes back to Biblical times.
