Mezuzah - A scroll of parchment rolled from right to left and affixed to a doorpost according to the requirements of Jewish law. Handwritten by expert scribes, the text of the mezuzah scroll contains the Shema, the classic Jewish prayer describing our love for God. A mezuzah case is a protective container within which the mezuzah is placed. By this unique mitzvah, the Jew affirms his/her faith in G-d's protection over the home and its inhabitants. A mezuzah is the signal most purchased piece of Judaica. Its importance is profound.
