    Dear Friend,

    A mezuzah is a parchment scroll, on which the Shema is handwritten by an expert scribe. The mezuzah is mounted on the right side of the doorpost and designates the home as Jewish, reminding us of G-d and our heritage. It is also a symbol of G-d's watchful care over the home. The placing of a mezuzah on the doors of a home or office protects the inhabitants â€" whether they are inside or outside.

    Chabad Singer Island & the Beaches would love for you to participate in this important Mitzvah. Click on the links below to receive a Mezuzah, and learn how to affix it to the doorways of your home, if you need assistance in affixing it, contact us, we will be happy to help.

    The mezuzah must be hand-written by a competent ritual scribe on specially prepared parchment with the specific types of quill and ink mandated by tradition.

    Kiss the Mezuzah?
    That's right, we acknowledge the Mezuzahs presence through kissing it as we enter and exit the doorway.

    When does a mezuzah need to be checked, and why?

    Mezuzahs should be checked by a Sofer (certified scribe) twice every seven years to see if they have been affected by adverse weather conditions, or by folding (which can cause cracks in the letters), or if any other defect has occurred. It is preferable to check mezuzahs which are on the outside of a building more often, due to their vulnerability to inclement weather.

    Already have Mezuzahs?

    When's the last time you had them checked?
