Can you relate?
July 7th, 2008 . by AaronI recently came across this post at a blog called Kintropy in Action
Last week, I finally got around to hanging the Mezuzahs around the house. We’ve only been living here 6 years, and we bought the Mezuzahs 4 years ago. So last week, the day before we were interviewed by a reporter for a Jewish Newspaper, Robert and I decided it was time to hang them…
I got a kick out of it. You won’t believe how many people write notes on their orders saying something like, “Please make sure my order arrives by Friday. My in-laws are coming for the weekend and I don’t want them to know that we still don’t have any Mezuzahs after a year”.
Sorry I just saw your link back to us. It was a funny experience because we had the Mezuzahs for several years before hanging them up. And then we installed the first one tilted the wrong way. Sigh.
But they’re up now and not going anywhere. Our son, Gabriel, reminds everyone how to treat them when entering or leaving, too.
