Mezuzah: the doorpost inscription

מזוזה

Intersection register · custodian, not owner

The mezuzah is a small parchment bearing the first two paragraphs of the Shema, affixed to the right doorpost of the Jewish home. Its placement fulfills the Deuteronomy commandment to inscribe these words 'on the doorposts of your house.' Many touch or kiss it when entering or leaving, and its text, written by a scribe, must be checked periodically.

Great Book being written
