What is a Mezuzah ?
INK + PARCHMENT
Mezuzah, literally translated as doorpost, is a small parchment scroll affixed on the doorposts of Jewish homes and businesses. It contains the hebrew words of the Shema, expertly handwritten by a scribe with ink and quill.
The Mezuzah symbolizes Gd’s protection and presence in one’s life. A small scroll with the words of the Shema inscribed, it is placed on the doorframe of one’s home, framing its inhabitants with a deeper awareness and appreciation for the Divine.
In these precarious times, we are all searching for ways to increase the safety and security of ourselves and loved ones. The ultimate antidote to tragedy and uncertainty is the Mezuzah. A symbol of the Divine presence and protection, it is our response to the current climate. Affix or gift a Mezuzah to help spread its message of security and protection.
