Mezuzah

You may have seen this funny thing attached to the door of your home or someone else’s. This is a mezuzah. Well — not really. See, the mezuzah is a scroll that is rolled and placed inside a holder. Sometimes people call THAT the mezuzah. But really, it’s the special scroll inside.

Learn more about what a mezuzah is, why it matters, and what to do with one.

Homework

Put up a mezuzah! You can buy one and put it somewhere, or take down your mezuzah and reattach it to the post, or make a new one! Here’s a video to help you.
