Mezuzah - Jerusalem Stone with ‘Shin’ and Earth Colors

This Mezuzah evokes images of ancient Jerusalem because it is made from textured stone. The decorative aspect of the Mezuzah is the Hebrew letter ‘Shin’ appears to be imprinted in the stone. The hanging of a Mezuzah is a positive commandment that is mentioned in the Torah and is also the simplest way to identify a house as being owned by a Jew as the Mezuzah sits prominently on the interior and exterior doorposts of a house. The Mezuzah is mentioned in the Torah in several places, but appears specifically in the Books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. The scroll is a piece of parchment that has the text of the first two sections of the Shema - the Jewish Declaration of Faith – written on it. The Mezuzah cover, also known as a Mezuzah Case, holds the scroll and is affixed to a doorpost via two screws. This mezuzah is a mezuzah case only and you must purchase the mezuzah scroll in addition. This mezuzah will be perfect for outdoor use and will make for a great housewarming gift!
