What is a mezuzah?

A. "And you shall write them [the words of the Shema] on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."1 A Mezuzah is not an ornate, gilded container — it's the little parchment inside of it. An authentic mezuzah is a hand-written Hebrew text2 on a parchment scroll. It takes a lot of effort and expensive materials to make an authentic mezuzah; MSRP begins at about $35.003.

B. The word "mezuzah" actually means "door-post," meaning that a mezuzah scroll goes on every discernible, regularly used door-frame (except "The Facilities"): the front door, the back door, and dining room, living room, bedroom and den doors. Even if it's just a doorway with no door, like between the kitchen and dining room, it should have a mezuzah. Note: if you're not ready to mezuzafy your whole house just yet, start with the front door.

C. The mezuzah is to the Jewish abode what a helmet is to a soldier — it provides spiritual and physical protection, fortification and reinforcement to the home and the souls of all who dwell therein. It's the original home security system.
