Blue enamel and silver pewter give the Hoshen Blue mezuzah case a rich, symbolic look inspired by the High Priest’s breastplate. As a mezuzah cover, it feels traditional, meaningful, and beautifully detailed, with enough presence for a front entry, hallway, study, or office doorway.
The Hoshen (חֹשֶׁן, breastplate) was worn by the Kohen Gadol, the High Priest, and was set with stones representing the Twelve Tribes of Israel. That connection gives this mezuzah holder a story of Jewish unity, sacred service, and tradition. For shoppers looking for meaningful Judaica from Israel, it fits naturally with our Israeli mezuzah cases.
Made in Israel from pewter and hand painted with enamel, this version has a larger profile and a blue-and-white palette that feels classic and bright. Customers comparing traditional symbolic designs will appreciate how it brings the Hoshen theme into a practical doorway piece.

Hoshen Blue Mezuzah Scroll Guidance
This mezuzah case is designed to hold either a 4-inch or 5-inch kosher mezuzah scroll. The Hoshen design gives the case its beauty and symbolism, but the mitzvah (מִצְוָה, commandment) depends on the kosher klaf (קְלָף, parchment) inside.
If you choose No Scroll, we will ship your mezuzah case without a scroll inside. Choose this option if you already have a kosher scroll that fits this case.
If you need a scroll as well, you can choose the Basic Kosher Scroll or the larger Superior Kosher Scroll. If you choose one of these options, we can ship your mezuzah with the scroll carefully rolled and inserted inside the case.
When this mezuzah is shipped with a scroll already inserted, we seal the back with double-sided tape to help create an airtight seal, making the case usable on exterior doorways when properly sealed. Customers comparing parchment choices can browse our kosher mezuzah parchment.
For more background on the handwritten parchment, our guide to the mezuzah scroll explains what gives the scroll its kosher and halachic meaning.

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.

About
Our Scrolls
The scroll is the heart and soul of the Mezuzah so it is very important that it be 100% Kosher.
All of our Mezuzah scrolls are handwritten by a certified Torah scribe on real calf-skin parchment. Each scroll is then scanned into a special computer program that checks it for mistakes. Finally each Mezuzah scroll is checked by our own in house Torah scribe to make sure that it is 100% Kosher.
