HISTORY
A mezuzah is a beautiful and special Jewish object used to mark the doorposts of Jewish homes. Originating in the Torah, mezuzahs consist of two parts - the mezuzah case and the mezuzah parchment called a klaf. The klaf contained inside the case is inscribed with specific Hebrew verses, sections of the Shema prayer beginning with the famous words, Shema Yisrael. While there are many strict and complex laws surrounding the preparation of the mezuzah scroll, the cases that protect them don't require any particular specifications. In general, mezuzah cases are often decorative and can be made of a multitude of materials ranging from simple plastic cases to ornate masterpieces made from sterling silver, stone, wood, glass, and more. Mezuzahs have two purposes: They serve to remind those entering and leaving of the covenant between Hashem and the Jewish people, and they identify one's dwelling as a Jewish household. Mezuzah parchments are written by highly trained and qualified scribes called Sofers who carefully pens each individual letter to perfection. Once the klaf is complete, the parchment is rolled up and placed inside the mezuzah case, though the case is not sealed permanently as it is recommended that parchments be checked for damage or defects at least once or twice every seven years. The mezuzah case is affixed to the top third of a doorway on the right, right side up, with the top of the mezuzah tilting towards the inside of the room. It is customary to keep mezuzot affixed to every doorway except for bathrooms and small closets.
