What Is a Mezuzah?
Mezuzah is a Hebrew word that means "doorstep." According to the Jewish tradition, you should place the Mezuzah at the entrance of your home and the entrance to the other interior rooms in the house.
It also features a small scroll of parchment with two biblical passages, including:
Deuteronomy 6:4-9 says:" Hear, O Israel! The Eternal is our God, the Eternal alone. You shall love the Eternal God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. Take to heart these instructions with which I charge you this day. Impress them upon your children. Recite them when you stay at home and when you are away, lie down, and get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them serve as a symbol on your forehead; inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and your gates."
Deuteronomy 11:13-21 says:" If then, you obey the commandments that I enjoin upon you this day, loving the Eternal your God and serving [God] with all your heart and soul, I will grant the rain for your land in season, the early rain and the late. You shall gather in your new grain and wine and oil-I will also provide grass in the fields for your cattle-and thus, you shall eat your fill. Take care not to be lured away to serve other gods and bow to them. For the Eternal's anger will flare up against you, shutting up the skies so that there will be no rain and the ground will not yield its produce, and you will soon perish from the good land that the Eternal is assigning to you. Therefore impress these My words upon your very heart: bind them as a sign on your hand and let them serve as a symbol on your forehead, and teach them to your children-reciting them when you stay at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up; and inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and your gates-to the end that you and your children may endure, in the land that the Eternal swore to your fathers to assign to them, as long as there is a heaven over the earth."
Reasons for Affixing the Mezuzah at Home
Jews affix the Mezuzah at their homes as a fulfillment of the biblical commandment in Deuteronomy 6:9, " You shall write them upon the doorposts of thy house and thy gates."
The Mezuzah is used to distinguish a Jewish home. It is a visible symbol and sign to those who enter the Jewish home, and it gives them a sense of identity. It is also a reminder that the homes are holy, and the owners should act accordingly. They should ensure they are holy while leaving the house and go out into the world and as they enter.
There is a specific form for the scroll that the tradition requires. However, the owners of the house are free to design and create their own casing.
The ceremony of affixing the Mezuzah in the house involves all the household members, and it starts with reciting the blessings. After the blessings, you should attach the Mezuzah to the doorpost using glue, nails, or screws. It would be best if you fixed it on the right side of the door as one enters the house.
The Mezuzah is placed on the entrance of each door in the house except the toilets and closets. This helps to enhance the mnemonic value of the Mezuzah. It is a symbol of strong faith in God, and you hang it on every door in your house to attract joy, happiness, blessings, and wealth for your home and family.
