Mezuzah refers to one of
the 613 commandments in Judaism, which requires that a
small parchment (klaf) inscribed with two sections
from the Torah's Book of Deuteronomy (6:4-9 and
11:13-21) be affixed to each doorpost and gate in a
Jewish home, synagogue, and business.
Thus the word mezuzah can refer to any of the
following:
1. Simply a doorpost of a permanent door, gate, or
arch.
2. The special parchment with the required Hebrew
inscriptions.
3. The small case or box that typically covers the
parchment. (The parchment can be affixed directly to
the door, though usually a case is used in order to
protect it. It is important to be aware, though, that
a case without a valid mezuzah scroll inside cannot be
used to fulfill this mitzvah.) The case generally
features the Hebrew letter shin (ש) inscribed on its
upper exterior. Artistic mezuzah cases are often given
as gifts for weddings and other special occasions.
Halakha (Jewish law) prescribes in detail the affixing
of mezuzot on doorposts. Since almost every Jewish
home has a mezuzah on its front doorpost, it has
historically been a way of recognizing a Jewish home.
The wording on the mezuzah's parchment is taken from
the Shema Yisrael ("Hear O Israel") prayer, similar to
the parchments inside Tefillin (phylacteries).
Mezuzah (מזוזה,
literally means a "doorpost" in Hebrew, plural:
mezuzot)

Important to place the Written 'Shaday' in alignment
with the letter 'Shin' on the case. A mezuzah is a
piece of parchment (often contained in a decorative
case) inscribed with specified Hebrew verses from
the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21). These
verses comprise the Jewish prayer "Shema Yisrael",
beginning with the phrase: "Listen, Israel, the Lord
is our God, the Lord is One." A mezuzah is affixed
to the doorframe of Jewish homes to fulfill the
mitzvah (Biblical commandment) to inscribe the words
of the Shema "on the doorposts of your house"
(Deuteronomy 6:9). Many families place a mezuzah on
the front door only, but observant Jews affix one on
every doorway in the home apart from bathrooms, as
well as closets too small to qualify as rooms.
