Mezuzot
August 15, 2008
In building our own Home, we gave some thought to how best to perform this Mitzvah.
Here are several ideas I wanted to share with you:
- - The Mezuzah must be unquestionably Kosher.
- - The Mezuzah must be written by a Jewish Scribe,
with Yirat Shamayim.
- - The Mezuzah should be durable.
- - The Mezuzah should be Mehudar (elegant).
- After settling what must be, and what should be, there are a few extra things that I would like:
If my house is not yet located in Eretz Yisrael- as a first step, at least my Mezuzot should be from there!
I am spending a sum that is not small on this Mitzvah- I want the money to go to a Talmid Hacham who will use it to help him learn Torah, while he and his family are performing the additional Mitzvah of living in Eretz Yisrael.
Here is a wonderful source for Mezuzot.
