# Mezuzah

Home Security

Mivtza 3 of 10

A mezuzah is a scroll with Torah verses placed on the doorpost of every room in a Jewish home. It serves as a constant reminder of G-d’s presence and protection.

## A deeper look

The mitzvah of mezuzah is to affix a parchment scroll inscribed with Biblical verses to our doorpost as a symbol of G-d’s protection. By putting a mezuzah on our door, we’re announcing to the world that this is a Jewish home, and we designate our entire home with all its contents as a dwelling for G-d.

Whether we’re coming or going, our last act is to reach up to touch the mezuzah and kiss it: a tangible reminder that we take G-d with us wherever we go.

Putting a mezuzah on our door empowers us to integrate our external persona, the superficial side that goes out to engage with the world, with our true internal self that we reveal behind closed doors. For a Jew, the ultimate goal is that there be no “inside” or “outside,” but that the entire world should be suffused with awareness of G-d.
