Mezuzah Blog

Since we started our website a few years ago, some of our best sellers have been Mezuzahs made from Jerusalem stone.  Mezuzahs like the Kotel Mezuzah or the Land of Israel Mezuzah have been favorites of our customers for years.

Recently, we got in six new products from the same manufacturer.  Some of these Mezuzahs are made out of pure Jerusalem stone.  Others are made out of Jerusalem stone as well as stone from several other parts of Israel.  The latter Mezuzahs allow you to bring something from all parts of the Holy Land into your home.

A few months ago, I had the privilege to visit in the factory of CJ Art in Yavne, Israel where these Mezuzahs are made.  I was so happy to see how all of the workers in the factory are Jewish.  A lot of factories in Israel employ Arab or foreign workers to save money.  The owner showed me all of the raw stone that they use to make the Mezuzahs and explained to me where each type was from.

These Mezuzahs are the real deal!

Our friend Morah Leah has a great new children’s CD. Morah Leah is my neighbor here in Tekoa, Israel and she gave us a copy of this CD a few weeks ago. My kids haven’t stopped listening since. I thought it would be a good idea to offer it to our customers on MezuzahStore.com.

If you would like to hear clips from the CD, click here.

You may have noticed that we recently introduced a new product on our website.  It is the fabric Mezuzah (see them here and here).  I am not 100% sure, but I think we may be the only ones selling a product of this type.

 These Mezuzahs were made specially for us by Rachel Weinstein.  Rachel lives in the village of Tekoa in the Judea region of Israel.  She specializes in making all kinds of crafts from fabric.  She uses classic quilting techniques as well as hand embroidery work.

I met Rachel and we started talking about what kind of fabric products she could make for our website.  She said, “Why don’t I make a fabric Mezuzah?”  Although the idea seemed nice, I was immediately concerned that the scroll inside would not be protected enough by the soft fabric.  We came up with the idea of putting a hard plastic tube inside.  That is how the fabric Mezuzah was born.

Since this is a totally new idea, I would love to hear what you think about it.  Let me know in the comments.

The GreatShofar.com is a website specializing in Shofars directly from Israel.  We are adding lots of information about the Shofars meaning and instructions on how to blow the Shofar.   Check it out.  We hope you like it.

Just in time for Hanukkah we have added a new Hanukkah store to our website in partnership with Amazon.com. Below is a sample of the items we have to offer.

For all you bargain hunters out there, we are in the process of adding about 100 Mezuzahs at discount prices. As of today we have about 30 up. You can get a peek here

Featured Product 

Of course the most important part of any Mezuzah is the scroll.  The cover is essentially there to protect and decorate the Mezuzah scroll.  But why not select a cover that has a very special meaning as well. 

This Mezuzah cover is very unique.  It is made up of stones from many different parts of the Land of Israel including Jerusalem, Hebron and others.  It is like having the entire Holy Land in one place.  It’s a great way to remember Israel every day and it is very attractive as well.
