The Mitzvah of the Mezuzah\nclearly indicates that the synagogue and the study house are not the only holy\nplaces for Judaism. Indeed, every house inhabited by Jews can and must become a\nmini-sanctuary and will truly become a home for the Almighty, Who can make His\nPresence reside there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This small roll of parchment\nattached to the door of each Jewish house and to the door of each room shows\nthat G-d protects all those who are there, physically and spiritually. This\ndwelling is now truly \u00ab a sanctuary for G-d \u00bb as written in the Psalms (121:8) : \u00ab The Lord will protect your\ngoing out and coming, now and forever<\/em> \u00bb<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indeed, one of G.od’s names, Sh.addai,\nappears on the back of the parchment : it is an acronym for the Hebrew words\nmeaning \u00ab Guardian of the Gates of Israel \u00bb. Correctly placed at the door of the house or workplace, the Mezuzah protects\nthe inhabitants, whether they are inside or outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover, the Lubavitcher Rebbe\nadded that the Mezuzah not only protects the Jews who live in this house, but\nalso helps to protect all Jews throughout the world, at all times, whatever\nthey may be !<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1974, with the advent of\nlarge-scale terrorism, the Lubavitcher Rebbe launched an international campaign\nto promote the Mezuzah. Thanks to the efforts of its emissaries – even today –\nmany Jewish houses are now equipped with kosher Mezuzot, and thousands of\nMezuzot are verified every day by highly qualified scribes. The Mezuzah is once\nagain a proud part of the Jewish landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The European Lubavitch Bureau\nhas set up the \u00ab Mezouza Bank \u00bb\nproject, which allows every Jew to obtain one or more Mezuzot at a reasonable\nprice, thus making each Jewish home a \u00ab sanctuary for G.od \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, the \u00ab Mezouza Bank \u00bb mandates a qualified Sofer to check the validity of their former Mezuzot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All Jews – regardless of their\norigin or affiliation – can benefit from the services of the Mezuzah Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By affixing the Mezuzah, we\ncontribute to transforming our living spaces into protected, secure and\nsanctified places, and by the merit of this important Mitzvah, the Jewish\npeople will very soon know the deliverance from exile with the coming of our Just\nMachia’h, now !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mezuzah Bank \u00ab And you shall write them on the lintel of your doors and gates \u00bb (Deuteronomy 6:9 and 11:20).
