Please note that each one of these pieces looks a bit different. This is because it is made from stone salvaged from the Temple Mount.
This is a very special Mezuzah with a very special story:
In 2003, the Waqf (Muslim religious authority that administers the Temple Mount) started to do massive construction on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. In the course of this construction, they did a lot of excavation. This excavation was done without any regard to the extreme archeological sensitivity of the spot, which contains stones from the ruins of both the first and second Temples. They took the excavated material and hauled it to a garbage dump in the Kidron Valley outside of of the Old City of Jeruselem.
At that time, an artist in Israel who heard about this story, decided to go to the dump and collect as many of these holy stones as he could. He formed these stones into Mezuzahs. In this way, he felt he could salvage something of the original holiness that these stones had. This is the Temple Mount Mezuzah that we are offering here.
This Mezuzah is made out of an original piece of Temple Mount Stone. A letter "Shin" of Jerusalem stone is attached on it's face.
Please note that the color will vary on this product. Natural Jerusalem stone can range from off white to pink in color. Jerusalem Stone is a natural product and each Mezuzah will have unique surface characteristics such as differences in texture or cracks. These are characteristics of Jerusalem Stone and don't in any way compromise the strength, quality or beauty of the product. You can read more about Jerusalem stone here.

Customer Reviews
Gorgeous and lightweight. Carved from a solid piece of temple mount stone. Only the shin is a separate piece that is attached. Gorgeous color. Highly recommended
Description says only the center is Temple Mount stone, but clearly mine was made from 1 piece. I called about it, was told it was all 1 piece of Temple Mount stone. Very beautiful stone color!
Small imperfection on top of piece was easily and invisibly fixed using tan plumber's putty.
Lightweight, nice coloring. Good adhesive.

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.
