And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts
of thy house, and upon thy gates.

Deuteronomy 6:9 (The Israel Bible™)

וּכְתַבְתָּם עַל מְזֻזוֹת בֵּיתֶךָ וּבִשְׁעָרֶיךָ

דברים ו:ט

u’-kh’-tav-tam al m’-zu-zot bay-te-kha u’-vish-a-re-kha

Today’s Israel Inspiration

During his last speech to the Israelites before they were to enter the Holy Land after a 40 year journey across the Sinai desert, Moses taught the people of the commandment that every door-post (in Hebrew, mezuzah) in the house should be adorned with a scroll on which is written the Shema prayer, a constant reminder of God’s presence in the home. Jews all over the world fulfill this mitzvah (commandment) by affixing a mezuzah scroll, protected by a case, to every door-post in the house. Keep the mitzvah alive with our stunning mezuzah cases!
