Mezuzah
In Deuteronomy 6:9, God told the Israelites to write His
commandments on the doorpost of their houses and upon their gates.
This is done through the fastening of what is called in Hebrew, a
“mezuzah” to the doorpost of Jewish homes and synagogues today. The
word “mezuzah” means “doorpost”. In the exodus from Egypt, the
“blood of the Passover Lamb” was applied to the doorposts of the
homes of the Israelites leading to deliverance and salvation. The
follow-up was obedience to God's commandments (His Torah) given to
the Children of Israel at Mt. Sinai, further represented by the
mezuzah.
It is
the same for believers in Yeshua (Jesus) today. First the blood of
Yeshua, our Passover Lamb, was applied to the “doorpost” of our
hearts, giving us deliverance and salvation. Then we received the
Ruach Ha Kodesh (the Holy Spirit) giving us the “grace to embrace”
God's commandments in the Torah and in the entire Bible. As
believers, we should actually hide the Word of God IN our hearts!

The
mezuzah itself is comprised of two major parts – a container and the
parchment paper itself. The container may be of almost any material
(wood, brass, silver, ceramic or glass). The container generally
bears the Hebrew letter “shin” which stands for the Name of God, in
particular, “El Shaddai” which means “Almighty God”. “Dai,” comes
from the Hebrew word “daiyenu,” which means “enough” or
“sufficient.” God (El Shaddai) is certainly “sufficient” for all
the needs of our household!
Sometimes the container of the mezuzah spells out the entire name
“Shaddai” using all three Hebrew letters of the word, which are the
“shin,” “dalet,” and “yud,” which is an acronym for the Hebrew
phrase “Shomer daltot Yisrael” and means “Keeper of the doors of
Israel.” Certainly “He that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor
sleeps.”

All
three, the talit, the kippah and the mezuzah are scriptural and a
rich part of the Jewish heritage. They are also available at our
Temple Bookstore. |
