“Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” These words from Deuteronomy 6:4–5 are called the Shema. They are the Jewish people’s fundamental declaration of faith, and God commands they be written on the doorposts of our homes (Deuteronomy 6:9). A mezuzah is a small container with a scroll of the Shema inside that we affix to the doorframes of our houses in obedience to this command. This beautiful, gold-toned mezuzah includes a glass tube through which you can see the Shema written in Hebrew. Placed on your doorpost it will remind you of the Torah’s command to remember God’s Word, that He is one, and also to pray for Israel. The mezuzah measures approximately 5” long.
