The Alter Rebbe (Superior) Chabad Mezuzah Scroll is a premium 6-Inch parchment handwritten in Israel according to the distinctive ksav associated with the Alter Rebbe and Chabad minhag. Written on genuine kosher klaf by a qualified sofer STaM, it is guaranteed to be 100% Kosher.
Alter Rebbe script uses specialized Hebrew letter forms followed within Chabad tradition. Producing this ksav accurately requires a scribe who is trained and experienced in its detailed forms, spacing, and halachic requirements.
The scroll contains the complete parshiyot of Shema and Vehaya im shamoa in the traditional 22-line mezuzah format. Its superior designation reflects its specialized script, careful workmanship, larger parchment, and refined presentation rather than a different standard of basic kosher validity.

Alter Rebbe Ksav for Chabad Minhag
The Alter Rebbe developed a distinctive writing tradition followed within Chabad. Its Hebrew letter forms contain recognizable differences from Beit Yosef, Vellish, and general Ari-Zal writing.
Customers following Chabad minhag can find compatible cases and scroll-related options among our Chabad Mezuzahs.
The letter-form distinctions are part of established Jewish scribal tradition. They do not change the required Torah passages and should not be interpreted as making one community’s kosher scroll more valid than another.
Our guide to Hebrew mezuzah lettering compares Alter Rebbe, Ari-Zal, Beit Yosef, and Vellish script conventions.
Superior Workmanship and 100% Kosher Status
This scroll is handwritten on kosher klaf by a trained sofer STaM and reviewed through both computer-assisted checking and expert human examination. The process supports our guarantee that the finished parchment is 100% Kosher.
Superior or mehudar quality reflects careful execution, consistency, parchment, spacing, script proficiency, and presentation. Kosher status remains the essential requirement, while hiddur mitzvah (הִדּוּר מִצְוָה, beautifying a commandment) describes an enhanced way of fulfilling it.
The same complete Shema and Vehaya im shamoa passages appear in other legitimate writing traditions. The reason there are different kinds of mezuzah scrolls is primarily the established formation of the Hebrew letters and the minhag being followed.
Choosing a Case for a 6-Inch Chabad Scroll
The flat parchment measures exactly 6 inches tall by 6 1/8 inches wide, or 15.2 cm by 15.6 cm. The width is measured while the parchment is open and does not represent the diameter after rolling.
Select a mezuzah case specifically rated for a 6-Inch or 15 cm scroll. A case may appear large externally while still having an interior chamber that is too short, narrow, or shallow for this parchment.
The klaf must fit without being folded, trimmed, compressed, crushed, or forced. When purchased with a compatible case, our team can carefully roll, protect, and insert the scroll before shipping.
Customers comparing sizes and writing traditions can review all available Mezuzah Scrolls for Sale. The sacred text inside the mezuzah is handwritten according to halacha and must be protected from moisture, heat, sunlight, and physical damage.
For customers following Chabad tradition and seeking a large, specialized parchment, the Alter Rebbe (Superior) Chabad Mezuzah Scroll provides a carefully written and fully kosher 6-Inch klaf.
A Mezuzah brings blessings and protection to your home. In the Jewish tradition, it should be placed on almost every doorpost - including the front door, back door, and bedroom doors - serving as a constant reminder our obligations to God. Inside a Mezuzah is a scroll inscribed with two passages from the Torah, symbolizing the connection between God and the home. More than a tradition, the Mezuzah sanctifies each entrance, filling the home with holiness, peace and spiritual significance.

FAQ
Do your mezuzahs come with a scroll inside?
We sell the Mezuzah cover and the Mezuzah scroll separately. This is because some people already have scrolls which they purchased from their Rabbi or Synagogue. Others may already have a Mezuzah with a scroll and they just want to switch the Mezuzah cover to a different one to match their decor etc.
In order to make it easier for you, every product page has an option to add the proper sized Kosher scroll. If you choose this option, you will receive your Mezuzah with the scroll already wrapped in protective covering and inserted into your Mezuzah cover.
Who certifies your Mezuzahs?
All of our Mezuzahs are guaranteed to be 100% Kosher. They are hand written by expert scribes in Israel. They are then computer checked for textual errors. Finally they are checked by and expert scribe at our workshop in Los Angeles.
Currently there is no organization anywhere that certifies Mezuzahs as Kosher. But you can rest assured that our Mezuzahs are 100% Kosher. In fact we are the source of Mezuzahs for many Orthodox Rabbis as well as synagogues and Chabad Houses all over the country.
What makes a Mezuzah "Kosher"?
A Kosher Meuzah is handwritten on parchment by a scribe who is trained in the laws of writing a Mezuzah. A scroll which is reproduced by machine, or not written according to the laws of the Torah, is not Kosher. Read our "About Mezuzahs" page to learn more about Mezuzahs.
I am not religious. Can I get a Non-Kosher scroll?
At MezuzahStore.com we believe very much in the importance of having Kosher Mezuzahs on every door of your home. Although we don't judge someone who doesn't feel the need to have a Kosher Mezuzah, it would be wrong for us to sell something that we don't believe in. Therefore we only sell Kosher Mezuzah scrolls even though we lose a lot of sales to people who don't want to pay for the scroll.
