Vintage 4" Mezuzah Judaica 1960s Red & Gold Enamel Metal & Brass Marked Israel JewishA mezuzah
(Hebrew: מְזוּזָה "doorpost"; plural: מְזוּזוֹת mezuzot)
is a piece of parchment called a klaf contained in a decorative case and inscribed with specific Hebrew verses from the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:4–9 and 11:13–21). These verses consist of the Jewish prayer Shema Yisrael, beginning with the phrase: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord (is) our God, the Lord is One". In mainstream Rabbinic Judaism, a mezuzah is affixed to the doorpost of Jewish homes to fulfill the mitzvah (Biblical commandment) to "write the words of God on the gates and doorposts of your house"
In millions of homes across the world, Jews affix to doorposts a decorative case containing a scroll with the Shema, a declaration of faith that is central to Jewish prayer. It is customary among many Jews to touch this case, known as the mezuzah, when passing through the door.
