What is a Mezuzah and What’s It Used For?

A mezuzah (מְזוּזָה) is a parchment scroll, on which the Shema is handwritten by an expert scribe. The Mezuzah is a small, decorative box that a Jewish family would hang on the right side of the doorframe in front of their home. In fact, "Mezuzah" means doorpost in Hebrew. This practice has been part of Jewish tradition for thousands of years and plays an important cultural role in defining Jewish identity.
