Mezuzah

Mezuzah
Yemenite Art, Jaffa, Israel

"A mezuzah (Hebrew: מְזוּזָה "doorpost"; plural: מְזוּזוֹת mezuzot) is a piece of parchment called a klaf contained in a decorative case and inscribed with specific Hebrew verses from the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:4–9 and 11:13–21[1]). These verses consist of the Jewish prayer Shema Yisrael, beginning with the phrase: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord (is) our God, the Lord is One". In mainstream Rabbinic Judaism, a mezuzah is affixed to the doorpost of Jewish homes to fulfill the mitzvah (Biblical commandment) to "write the words of God on the gates and doorposts of your house" (Deuteronomy 6:9). Some interpret Jewish law to require a mezuzah in every doorway in the home except bathrooms (which is not a living space), laundry rooms and closets, if they are too small to qualify as rooms."

Holy cow are these gorgeous!! Every one of them could be a macro study, they are all so intricate and detailed! Thanks for sharing, the information you provided was great too!

Loved your comment about wanting a tumbler but...omg the NOISE!...lol, I do understand completely. Perhaps you now have a closet or garage or something in which to put a tumbler? They are a grand bit of fun! :)
