What do you think about fabric Mezuzahs?
February 21, 2008These 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.
