The Hebrew word mezuzah means “doorpost.” According to tradition, the mezuzah is to be affixed to the doorpost at the entrance to a Jewish home as well as at the entrance to each of the interior rooms except for bathrooms. The mezuzah itself consists of a small scroll of parchment (k’laf ) on which are written two biblical passages. The first is Deuteronomy 6:4-9:
Hear, O Israel! The Eternal is our God, the Eternal alone. You shall love the Eternal your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. Take to heart these instructions with which I charge you this day. Impress them upon your children. Recite them when you stay at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them serve as a symbol on your forehead; inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
The second passage is Deuteronomy 11:13-21:
If, then, you obey the commandments that I enjoin upon you this day, loving the Eternal your God and serving [God] with all your heart and soul, I will grant the rain for your land in season, the early rain and the late. You shall gather in your new grain and wine and oil-I will also provide grass in the fields for your cattle-and thus you shall eat your fill. Take care not to be lured away to serve other gods and bow to them. For the Eternal’s anger will flare up against you, shutting up the skies so that there will be no rain and the ground will not yield its produce; and you will soon perish from the good land that the Eternal is assigning to you. Therefore impress these My words upon your very heart: bind them as a sign on your hand and let them serve as a symbol on your forehead, and teach them to your children-reciting them when you stay at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up; and inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates-to the end that you and your children may endure, in the land that the Eternal swore to your fathers to assign to them, as long as there is a heaven over the earth.
The scroll is inserted into a wooden, plastic, or metal casing that is often quite beautiful and artistic in design. A mezuzah may be purchased at any store that handles Jewish religious articles.
WHY DO JEWS AFFIX A MEZUZAH TO THE DOORPOST OF A HOME?
The custom of affixing a mezuzah to the doorpost fulfills the biblical commandment: “You shall write them upon the doorposts of thy house and upon thy gates” (Deuteronomy 6:9). The mezuzah distinguishes a Jewish home and is a visible sign and symbol to all those who enter that a sense of Jewish identity and commitment exists in that household. The mezuzah reminds us that our homes are holy places and that we should act accordingly-when we enter them and when we leave them to go out into the world.
HOW DO WE GO ABOUT AFFIXING THE MEZUZAH TO THE DOORPOST?
A mezuzah-affixing ceremony should include all family members or residents of the household. The ceremony begins with a blessing:
Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech haolam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu likboa m’zuzah.
“Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, who has sanctified us through Your mitzvot and commanded us to affix a mezuzah.”
After the blessing is recited, the mezuzah is attached to the doorpost with nails, glue, or screws, on the right side of the door as one enters the room. Position the mezuzah about a third of the way down from the top of the doorpost. Sephardic Jews and most Ashkenazim usually angle the mezuzah with the top tilted inward toward the interior of the house or room, while some Ashkenazim place the mezuzah in an upright position.
Thank you, I'm a Catholic but I love learning about the Jewish Religion ❣️
Christianity is not a different religion, it is the fulfillment of the Jewish religion.
@@T-RexRita most people don't know that. They forget Jesus was Jewish.
Thank you. Your videos are so thoughtful and considerate to all faiths. You are a good soul.

I am Catholic, can we place Mezuzah’s outside our doorways? It reads “Here Oh Israel”….well, I am not from Israel (sadly)…but I am a proud Canadian. I would LOVE LOVE to have this or something that signifies MY closeness to Jesus our Lord, I believe in all his Glory and everything he did as a human being here on earth. Jewish or not, every person that lives by the word of God and in his son, Jesus, should have something like this outside our doors. I wish to not offend anyone or other religions. May God Bless us all and keep you all safe. Thank you for the video
Yes. You can
I am a Christian, that understands my Jewish roots, so I have one.
No one will deny you to do it but everyone will know that here lives a Jew.
And Anastasia. We both used to work in the Orthodox Jewish part of North London.
Thank you for answering some unanswered questions about the Jewish people and faith.
Thank you for your lovely channel! Shalom.
I am certain people work together. The towns and market places are in order and sound interacting.
Interesting as well as informative videos from the Holy Land is unexplainable.Bringing the Biblical facts to the world is beyond words.
I love your videos. Sharing the holy lands is much appreciated. I have learned so much. I didn’t realize it was so small when I read stories in Bible like Jerusalem and mount of olives and garden of gesemeny I always thought they were 60 to 100 miles or more from each other. I grew up on farm in Midwest of US Thank you for giving us a glimpse of the land of our living G-d. G-d bless you and your family. I feel like I have been there. Your kindness is so appreciated.
❤️💜💚🙂 Yom tov!!

THANK YOU BROTHER
I love your videos. The soldiers are required to study? That is interesting.
No, but hey participate in tours of historical sites with a guide who explains to them what they see.
A very informative video to undestand Jewish customs.. Mezuzah is only a symbol or the prayer that is contained is recited? And what does it mean 'mitzvot' ? Thanks Zahi, shalom💎
Where in the Bible does it say that you can’t mix dairy and meat ? Nowhere! “It says you are not to boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.” The belief that you can’t mix meat and dairy is what the Pharisee’s interpreted the phrase about mixing meat and dairy. Perhaps back in there days the other nation’s used to have that as a food recipe and YeHoVah didn’t want the children of Israel to do that. But mixing meat and dairy is ok as long as you’re not boiling meat from the offspring in the milk of it’s mother.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that you should not drive a car on Shabbat?
Learning beautiful new things. Love it. Thank you
GOD is GOOD. every time I watch your videos I get an overwhelming of happiness. I would like to know can I have a Mezuzah even if I am Christian? Thank you for your future video on foods we can and cannot eat and how not to mix certain foods with milk. God bless you.
Certainly. Many Christian homes have mezuzahs. The mezuzah you saw in the video is for a Christian family.
@@zahishaked Thank you. I will contact you soon.
Yes prepare food like Latky for Hanukkah 🕎
sure the LORD our G D the LORD is one and this LORD is JESUS and no one else
ISAIAH 53 said it all.
Beautiful and thank you 😊 and I want to know how many hours different from NYC.
7 hours
I believe and hope it is true that GOD is a jealous God.
They're all jealous gods
I was told that Askanazi Jews put their mezuzah at a slant and Shephardi Jews put theirs vertically.
Some do it like that
Zahi Shaked
another beautiful day in the world,
and we are talking about the
Frontlets or phylacteries strips of parchment, that have four passages of scripture from
the book of
Josephus ( 37 A.D. to 100 A.D. ) and the
ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS,
Exodus 13: 1-16; Deuteronomy 6: 5-9; Deuteronomy 11: 13-21,
The Greatest of the Commandments,
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
These writings the Jews wear on their foreheads, and on the side of the front door of their homes, and synagogues,
also called tephillin.
And a menorah: a candelabra used in Jewish worship.
That is about all that, I know about the Jews.
But I do know about
the Hebrew Prophet Jonah
that went to
Nineveh
Location: gps, very exactly
36* 21' 27" N.
43* 09' 08" E.
that journeyed there by a Whale, to
the Black sea, and was vomited onto
the beach, and traveled down to
Nineveh, to preach repentance to those
people, who were ignorant of the
Laws of God.
Jonah went by ship from
Joppa
the main mediterranean sea port for
the Canaanite cities,
Jonah tried to escape God because
he didn't want to teach, the people of
Nineveh.
Nineveh was built by a son of
Shem,
see Genesis Chapter 10.
Nineveh,
was under the influence of
Nimrod the son of Chus, who was the son of Ham.
Nimrod built the Tower of Babel,
out of fired bricks and a reed bitumen type of cement.
the town of
Nimrud
Location: gps, very exactly
36* 05' 55" N.
43* 19' 53" E.
this ancient site has buildings built of
brick and bitumen.
From the valley of Nimrod
Jared and his family prepared for their journey, out from the Tower of Babel,
at the time of Phaleg because of the
dispersion of the languages and people
that built the Tower of Babel.

Hi brother good morning.what about the dream of the unkosher food coming down from heaven in new testament.was it Paul that saw this? X
No....it was st. Peter i Jaffa. You can find lots of videos about it in my TH-cam channel
For Peter the vision was meant to be a clear message that the Good News now extended to the gentiles as well. Salvation to the Jews first then the gentiles.
I love to see it but I can't afford to read it other than find it in the Bible.
