@fish613 Thanks for your reply ! An invalid mezuzah ? But wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a mezuzah ? I don't want one for mere decoration but for what it stands for and the blessing one would recieve each time you see it and the reminder it brings.I still have not put it up since the 4 months that I posted the question,perhaps that is a sign not to put one up ?

You've already had one response. To add a small point, anything with God's name written on it we see as holy. As long as you treat the mezuzah with sensitivity to that, I personally wouldn't mind. From the way you expressed yourself it sounds like you have that appreciation already.
A suggestion: what would you think of finding an invalid mezuzah, for example one written without the full name of God? That avoids any issues of that sort; would you still enjoy the symbolism of that?

As Rabbi David states, affixing mezuzot states, "This is a Jewish home." However, some non-Catholics display crucifixes in their homes, some non-Buddhists display statues of Buddha in their homes...in my opinion there's nothing wrong with it. If you like the beauty and/or symbolism of a mezuzah, go for it!

Can a non-Jewish person put up a mezuzah on their home ? I understand the use of it and believe in the use of it as commanded by G-d but I don't want to "anger" G-d or disrespect my Jewish brothers by affixing mezuzah to a non-Jewish home.I have one but have not put it up yet.What are your thoughts ? Shalom

Rabbi David, why are you putting it up on the left side? This is confusing as your actions in the video are not in accordance with what you're saying.

@sundraziw I'm actually putting it up on the right side as you enter the building. I filmed it this way because of the lighting. You are right it's a bit confusing. the mezuzah is affixed to the right side of the doorway as you enter.
