Kosher Mezuzah Scrolls

A "kosher" mezuzah is hand-written parchment that is rolled and placed in the mezuzah case. Each scroll is prepared from the skin of a kosher animal. Each mezuzah scroll contains the first two portions of the Shema, which they have to write on their house's doorpost. According to Halakha, every letter and word must be correct. Any mistakes or missing letters can invalidate the entire parchment.

Here are some essential Mezuzah facts that every Jewish should know :

• Mezuzah should always be placed on the right side of the door within approximately 3 inches of the doorway opening.
• Whenever a Jew passes through a door within an affixed Mezuzah, he or she has to touch the finger to the Mezuzah as a way of showing respect to God.
• Displaying Mezuzah in your home serves as a symbol of God's watchful care and a way of showing respect to God.
• A mezuzah scroll can be purchased at any store that handles Jewish religious articles. The scroll is inserted into a plastic or wooden casing which is quite beautiful and artistic in design.
