It's not just door décor—it's a Jewish welcome sign with deep meaning. In The Mezuzah in 10 Minutes, we'll explore why Jews place a small case with sacred scrolls on their doorposts and what it represents. From the Torah command in the Shema—"write these words on the doorposts of your house"—to centuries of tradition, the mezuzah is both a spiritual reminder and a public statement of identity. We'll talk about what's actually inside (hint: it's not decorative paper), why the parchment is handwritten by a trained scribe, and the different customs about how to angle it on the doorframe. Along the way, we'll highlight its symbolism of bringing holiness into daily life—because every time you walk in or out, you're literally brushing against Jewish tradition. Ten minutes, one little scroll, and a tradition that makes every doorway a passage into meaning.
