The aluminum body and sealed chamber protect the parchment, but the mitzvah (מִצְוָה, commandment) itself depends on the kosher klaf (קְלָף, parchment) placed inside, handwritten by a certified sofer STaM. A case on its own, however well made, is not yet a mezuzah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOuter height and scroll size are never the same number. This case measures 5 1\/2 inches on the outside and the closure takes up the difference, which is why it is listed for a 5-inch scroll. When you are between sizes, size down. A parchment forced into a chamber that is fractionally too short will crack its letters, and a cracked letter makes the scroll invalid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need a scroll, our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mezuzahstore.com\/collections\/mezuzah-scrolls\" title=\"Kosher Mezuzah Scrolls for Sale\"\u003ekosher mezuzah scrolls\u003c\/a\u003e are listed by parchment height so you can match one directly, and insertion is free when you buy the scroll together with the case.

The letter stands for Shaddai (שַׁדַּי), a Name of God read traditionally as an acronym for Shomer Daltot Yisrael, Guardian of the doorways of Israel.

It is equally at home indoors, and the brown finish is the natural match for a stained interior door, a study, or a home office where a white case would read as clinical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mezuzah goes on the right doorpost as you enter, in the lower part of the upper third, which on a standard door is roughly shoulder height. Ashkenazi custom slants the top inward toward the room; most Sephardic communities affix it straight.

Halacha calls for a home's mezuzot to be examined twice every seven years, and outdoor placements are worth doing more frequently than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGet Mezuzahs for Your Entire Home!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJewish tradition places a mezuzah on nearly every doorway of the home, not only the front door.
