Kosher Mezuzah

Kosher is important, no doubt about it. Almost Every product needs to be kosher and Mezuzah is no different.  All of the time people are asking us "what does it mean for a Mezuzah to be Kosher?". Isnt it something that relates to food only?

"Kosher" actually means "proper" and with this translation we can see that it can really be applied to anything. A toothpaste can be Kosher. A service could be a Kosher service etc. A Kosher Mezuzah is one which has been written on parchment, by an expert scribe, according to every single detail in the Code of Jewish Law named Shulhan Aruch.

 A Kosher Mezuzah is one that the Torah is referring to when saying, “You shall inscribe them on the doorpost of your house and on your gates.”

Keeping Kosher is something that is sometimes hard to keep. It is understandable if a person doesn't feel ready to keep up with all the commitments. The Mezuzah commitment is a simple one to follow since you only need to purchase it  once. On the outside there is no big difference between a "Mezuzah" that isn't kosher to a Mezuzah which is . But if you are into this "Mitzva" what's the use of buing a fake one? This is an investment that you make once in a lifetime while the benefits are shown for many years.

Every Jew knows that a Kosher Mezuzah will protect his home and family. Why would anyone give up this opportunity.

 

When you do get  Mezuzahs for your house, make sure to purchase them only from a place you can trust. Don’t get into every Judaica store and buy the cheapest one they have. Get your Mezuzah from a certified scribe. Someone that can assure you that it conforms to the way a real mezuzah should be. This way the Mezuzah will  realy bring protection and blessing to your house and its habitant.
