Ana B’Koach Jerusalem Stone Mezuzah

The Ana B’Koach Jerusalem Stone Mezuzah is a rounded mezuzah case made in Israel from real Jerusalem stone and finished with warm gold Hebrew lettering. As a mezuzah cover, its cream natural-stone surface, cylindrical profile, prominent Shin, and engraved prayer design create a piece that feels ancient, meaningful, and quietly refined.

A large gold Shin (ש, Hebrew letter) anchors the upper section, while seven groups of engraved Hebrew initials continue down the face of the stone. These letters represent Ana B’Koach (אָנָּא בְּכֹחַ, Please, with strength), a Jewish liturgical prayer centered on release, purification, guidance, mercy, and spiritual elevation.

The softly rounded silhouette allows the lettering to follow the curve of the stone, making the prayer feel integrated into the material rather than simply applied to its surface. Among our complete selection of Mezuzot, this design is distinguished by the depth of its Hebrew meaning and the understated contrast between cream stone and gold.

Made from a material closely associated with Yerushalayim (יְרוּשָׁלַיִם, Jerusalem), this piece belongs naturally among our authentic Jerusalem stone mezuzah cases. Its warm lettering also gives it a natural place alongside gold mezuzah cases with refined metallic accents.

Natural Jerusalem Stone with Gold Hebrew Lettering

Real Jerusalem stone gives the mezuzah a warm surface that may show cream, ivory, beige, tan, rose, or soft pink undertones. Natural veins, fine lines, small pits, texture, and subtle tonal differences are expected characteristics of the stone. Each piece will vary slightly, and these natural differences do not compromise its quality, strength, or beauty.

The gently curved face softens the six-inch profile and gives the gold lettering space to wrap naturally around the case. The large Shin creates a clear focal point at the top, while the smaller prayer initials form a rhythmic pattern that continues toward the bottom.

The design pairs an authentic Israeli material with sacred Hebrew text, creating a meaningful expression of hiddur mitzvah (הִדּוּר מִצְוָה, beautifying a commandment). It is decorative without feeling ornamental for its own sake, allowing the Jewish meaning of the lettering and the natural character of the stone to remain central.

Because it is made in Israel from real Jerusalem stone, the case also reflects the materials and craftsmanship represented among our mezuzahs made in Israel.

What Is Written on the Ana B’Koach Jerusalem Stone Mezuzah?

The front of the case displays a gold Shin followed by these seven groups of Hebrew initials:

• אב״ג ית״ץ
• קר״ע שט״ן
• נג״ד יכ״ש
• בט״ר צת״ג
• חק״ב טנ״ע
• יג״ל פז״ק
• שק״ו צי״ת

These groups contain the first letters of the 42 words in Ana B’Koach. The prayer consists of seven lines containing six words each. The engraved groups are initials rather than ordinary Hebrew words, and together they form the 42-letter acrostic of the prayer.

The Complete Ana B’Koach Prayer and English Translation

• אָנָּא בְּכֹחַ גְּדֻלַּת יְמִינְךָ תַּתִּיר צְרוּרָה: We entreat You, through the great strength of Your right hand, release what is bound.
• קַבֵּל רִנַּת עַמְּךָ שַׂגְּבֵנוּ טַהֲרֵנוּ נוֹרָא: Accept the song of Your people; raise us and purify us, Awesome One.
• נָא גִבּוֹר דּוֹרְשֵׁי יִחוּדְךָ כְּבָבַת שָׁמְרֵם: Please, Mighty One, guard those who seek Your unity as carefully as the pupil of the eye.
• בָּרְכֵם טַהֲרֵם רַחֲמֵי צִדְקָתְךָ תָּמִיד גָּמְלֵם: Bless them and purify them; continually sustain them through the mercy of Your righteousness.
• חֲסִין קָדוֹשׁ בְּרוֹב טוּבְךָ נַהֵל עֲדָתֶךָ: Mighty and Holy One, guide Your congregation with Your abundant goodness.
• יָחִיד גֵּאֶה לְעַמְּךָ פְּנֵה זוֹכְרֵי קְדֻשָּׁתֶךָ: Unique and Exalted One, turn toward Your people, those who remember Your holiness.
• שַׁוְעָתֵנוּ קַבֵּל וּשְׁמַע צַעֲקָתֵנוּ יוֹדֵעַ תַּעֲלוּמוֹת: Accept our plea and hear our cry, Knower of hidden things.

The prayer concludes with:

בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד

This means: “Blessed is the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.”

Ana B’Koach is a piyut (פִּיּוּט, Jewish liturgical poem) that asks God for release, purification, strength, guidance, mercy, and spiritual elevation. The engraved initials are meaningful exterior artwork, but they do not replace the kosher parchment scroll that belongs inside the case.

Scroll Options for This 6-Inch Jerusalem Stone Mezuzah

This case is designed to hold either a 4-Inch (10 cm) or 5-Inch (13 cm) Kosher Mezuzah Scroll. The parchment should sit comfortably inside the recessed chamber without being folded, trimmed, compressed, or forced.

If a compatible scroll is purchased together with the case, Mezuzah Store can carefully roll and insert it through the opening in the back. The opening is then sealed with double-sided tape to help create an airtight fit, protect the parchment, and improve the case’s water resistance for an exterior doorway.

The Jerusalem stone case protects and presents the scroll, while the kosher klaf (קְלָף, parchment) inside fulfills the mitzvah. Customers shopping by size, writing tradition, and quality level can compare our complete selection of Kosher Mezuzah Scrolls for sale.

Families following an Ashkenazi tradition can learn more through our Ashkenazi Mezuzahs. Those following a Sephardi minhag (מִנְהָג, custom) can review our Sephardic Mezuzahs, while our Chabad Mezuzahs explain Chabad and Alter Rebbe writing options. Only a compatible 4-inch or 5-inch scroll should be selected for this case.

For a deeper explanation of the parchment, the two Torah passages it contains, and why handwritten lettering matters, our guide to what is inside a mezuzah explains the purpose of the Jewish door scroll.

A Meaningful Mezuzah for Prayer, Home, and New Beginnings

The themes of Ana B’Koach make this case especially meaningful for a home centered on prayer, growth, renewal, and Jewish continuity. Its cream-and-gold palette works naturally with traditional, transitional, Mediterranean, and softly contemporary interiors.

At six inches tall, it has enough presence for a front entrance while remaining suitable for a study, family room, bedroom, office, or another important interior doorway. The prayer design also makes it a thoughtful choice for a Jewish housewarming, wedding, anniversary, new office, or family simcha (שִׂמְחָה, celebration).

The visible Hebrew gives the recipient something meaningful to learn and reflect upon, while the authentic Jerusalem stone creates a direct material connection to Eretz Yisrael (אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל, Land of Israel).

Mounting and Sealing the Ana B’Koach Jerusalem Stone Mezuzah

This mezuzah affixes with extra-strong double-sided mezuzah mounting tape, which is included, so nails and screws are not required. The back contains a recessed scroll chamber surrounded by adhesive strips designed to hold the case securely against the doorpost.

Install the case on a clean, dry, and stable surface. Smooth wood, metal, glass, and other even finishes generally provide the most reliable adhesion. Dust, moisture, peeling paint, heavy texture, or an uneven surface may weaken the hold.

Insert the scroll and seal the opening in the back before affixing the case. For exterior use, a covered, recessed, or sheltered doorway is preferred. Proper sealing helps protect the parchment from moisture and allows the case to remain water-resistant when installed correctly.

Our guide to putting up a mezuzah explains doorway side, placement height, customary angle, and practical installation steps. When a blessing is required, review the mezuzah blessing, the bracha (בְּרָכָה, blessing) traditionally recited when affixing a mezuzah.

To care for the stone, dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking the case or applying harsh chemical cleaners to the Jerusalem stone or gold lettering. With its natural Israeli material, rounded silhouette, gold Shin, and Ana B’Koach symbolism, this Jerusalem stone mezuzah brings prayer, artistry, and Jewish meaning together on the doorway.
