Every now and then people ask us how to roll up a Mezuzah scroll. When you purchase a one of our Kosher Mezuzah scrolls, you will receive it already rolled up and wrapped in plastic wrap for protection. But you may need to roll the scroll yourself after you get it checked or just because you were curious and couldn't help opening up the scroll to look at it.
We made this handy guide to help you understand how to roll your Mezuzah scroll:

I received a Mezuzah from a friend and the scroll only has the Torah verses on one side and nothing on the obverse. There is no “Shadai” on the back side. Do I need to make one of my own or even purchase one?
I always wear a tiny gold Filigree style Mezuzah on a chain around my neck, just over an inch long and contains a tiny paper scroll which over time disintegrated. I purchased a replacement scroll which is wrapped in nylon tape or something to protect it, and I can’t see the “Shaday” on the paper through the protective layer. Does it matter how the scroll in installed in such a tiny Mezuzah that is worn on your person? Thanks for your help and kindness.
Thanks Aaron,
I would be happy to do that. However, it will have to wait until I get home from work in about 8 more hours.

Ross,
Something sounds fishy. If you email me a photo of the scroll to Aaron@MezuzahStore.com I’d be happy to let you know what I can tell from the picture.

Well, I tried to explain to my wife that there are critical differences in a Kosher and non-Kosher scroll. So, there is one obvious difference. While I realize that Hebrew is written from right to left, I do not read Hebrew. At this point it matters little, the scroll is obviously wrong and I intend to tell the proprietor of the establishment where my wife purchased it. I suppose it must have other mistakes.
Thank you so much for your help.
Ross
