Mezuzah Case
Shema Yisrae - "Hear Israel". In these verses, G-d commands its people to inscribe the words of the
Shema prayer to every doorpost: "And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon
thy gates" (6:9).
The purpose of this command, or mitzvah as it is called, is to constantly keep G-d's words in front of our
eyes and mind. The custom of kissing one's fingertips before touching the mezuzah case expresses
one's commitment to G-d's commandments. That's why mezuzahs are considered so sacred - by no
means are they just a good luck charm. However, they are also believed to protect the Jewish home from
harm, and if something bad happens they are usually replaced.
A decorative mezuzah case can be found at every doorpost of a Jewish home. Since the mezuzah case
is the first thing that meets the visitors' eyes as they come through the main entrance and every room
inside the Jewish home, most people prefer to affix a uniquely designed mezuzah case over a simple
one. Mezuzah cases come in a wide variety of styles, shapes and materials. Made of metal, wood or
glass, colorful and eye-catching mezuzah cases are preferred by some while others favor more
moderate and traditional designs. Many mezuzah cases are carved or imprinted with the Hebrew letter
Shin, the first letter of God's many acronyms (stands for Shaddai). As a means to express a strong
connection to the land of Israel, a common mezuzah case design would borrow the elements
reminiscent of the landscape of Jerusalem.

of Israel to mark the lintels of the houses in blood mezuzah, to distinguish between the houses of
Israel and the houses of the Egyptians during the plague of the firstborn and prevent damage to the
first-born sons of Israel. Josephus, in his Antiquities of the Jews, explains that the Jews were
ordered to "write on their doors to the greatest good God who knew them ... to be in the grace of God
