What is a Mezuzah?
A Mezuzah is a parchment scroll that has been handwritten by a professional scribe. It contains two sections of the Torah that discuss the Jewish faith. Every Mezuzah, no matter how simple or elaborate the exterior casing may be, contains the exact same inscription, the Shema Yisrael: "Hear o' Israel, the L-rd Our G-d, the L-rd is One."
It is traditionally attached to the doorposts of a Jewish home. A 'kosher' Mezuzah can also bring protection and blessing - whether you are home or away - to all the people of Israel.
How do I get one?
Fill in this form to sign up. Submit it with a $30 deposit. (The deposit can be paid with a credit card, or (preferred) cash or check to Rabbi Mendy when he comes to put up the mezuza.)
This deposit will be refunded when you return the Mezuzah at the end of the year. Rabbi Mendy will deliver the Mezuza to you and will help you hang the Mezuzah properly.
Important Note:
We believe that financial difficulty should never stand in the way of doing a Mitzvah. If for whatever reason the deposit poses a difficulty for you, please contact us for information about further subsidies.
What if I want to buy a Mezuzah?
That's great! We will be happy to sell you a Mezuzah for the same $30 (below cost price)!
The fine print.
This offer is for college students only. If you live in campus housing, check with your RA about the best way to hang the Mezuzah. (Double sided tape or something like it is usually the best option.) The Mezuzah should be treated with appropriate respect.
