The Key Mezuzah is a meaningful pewter mezuzah case with a hand painted blue enamel design and a symbolic key motif. As a mezuzah cover, it makes a thoughtful choice for a new home, new business, graduation, fresh start, or anyone beginning a meaningful new chapter.
The key design gives this mezuzah a warm message of blessing, opportunity, and success, while the blue, white, and silver palette keeps the look bright and easy to place. Customers who like symbolic Judaica with a softer decorative style may also enjoy browsing our pewter mezuzah cases or our collection of blue mezuzahs.
Made in the USA from pewter and hand painted with blue enamel, this mezuzah holder has a sweet giftable quality without feeling too formal. The outer case brings beauty and meaning to the doorway, while the kosher klaf (קְלָף, parchment) inside is what fulfills the mitzvah (מִצְוָה, commandment) of mezuzah.

A Symbolic Mezuzah for a New Beginning
A key is often connected with opening doors, opportunity, success, and blessing. That makes this mezuzah case especially fitting as a housewarming gift, business opening gift, graduation gift, or meaningful Judaica piece for someone stepping into a new stage of life.
The compact size also makes it easy to use on bedrooms, offices, studies, dorm rooms, apartments, and other interior doorways. For customers looking for something a little more personal than a plain case, this design brings a clear message without overpowering the doorway. You can also browse more expressive styles in our unique mezuzah cases collection.
Choosing a Scroll for This Key Mezuzah
This mezuzah case is designed to hold a 2.8-inch kosher mezuzah scroll. The case protects and displays the scroll, but the handwritten parchment inside is what gives the mezuzah its halachic purpose. For this size, choose the Extra Small Kosher Mezuzah Scroll, which is made to fit compact mezuzah cases that hold a 2.8-inch scroll.
If you purchase the scroll from us, we can ship your mezuzah with the scroll carefully rolled and inserted inside the case. When a scroll is inserted, the back should be sealed properly with double-sided tape to help protect the klaf, especially if the mezuzah will be placed on an exterior doorway.
For more parchment options, browse our main kosher mezuzah scrolls collection. To understand the handwritten text placed inside the case, our guide to what is inside a mezuzah explains the Shema (שְׁמַע), the parshiyot (פָּרָשִׁיּוֹת, Torah passages), and the role of the scroll inside the mezuzah.
Placing This Mezuzah on the Doorway
This key mezuzah affixes securely with nails or screws. Before mounting, make sure the scroll is properly inserted, the back is sealed, and the case is positioned on the right side of the doorway as you enter. Many Ashkenazi homes place the mezuzah at a slight slant, while other communities follow different minhagim (מִנְהָגִים, customs).
For placement help, our guide to putting up a mezuzah explains the correct side of the doorway, placement height, and angle. If a bracha is required, review the mezuzah blessing, the bracha (בְּרָכָה, blessing) said when affixing a mezuzah.
The Key Mezuzah is a thoughtful choice for anyone who wants a compact pewter mezuzah case with a positive message, a hand painted blue enamel finish, and a design that feels connected to blessing, opportunity, and the Jewish doorway.
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
Mezuzahs
Mezuzahs bring blessing to your home. According to Jewish tradition, they should be on almost every door of your home. Besides the front door, the Mezuzah should also go on the back door, bedroom doors and many other doors of your home.
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.
