The Ten Commandments Mezuzah is a small silver pewter mezuzah case made in Israel with raised Hebrew and Torah-inspired detail. As a mezuzah cover, its compact 4-inch size works well for narrow doorposts, smaller rooms, apartments, offices, and spaces where a larger case would feel oversized.
The front features a raised Shin (ש, Hebrew letter), decorative bands, and a central pair of tablets representing the Aseret HaDibrot (עֲשֶׂרֶת הַדִּבְּרוֹת, Ten Commandments). The antiqued silver finish brings out the relief details, giving this compact case a traditional Judaica look with a meaningful Torah theme.
Its modest size and classic silver coloring make it a practical choice among Mezuzah Cases for customers who want a small, symbolic holder with visible Hebrew character and a traditional design.

Small Silver Pewter Mezuzah with Torah Symbolism
The case is made from pewter with an antiqued silver appearance that highlights the raised design. The narrow body keeps the mezuzah easy to place, while the sculpted surface gives it more character than a plain smooth holder.
The central tablets represent the Ten Commandments, one of the most recognizable Torah symbols in Jewish art. This gives the case a strong connection to traditional mezuzahs, while its compact shape keeps it simple enough for everyday doorways.
The raised details also make it a natural fit within our pewter mezuzah cases. Pewter works well for small Judaica pieces because it can hold decorative relief, Hebrew symbols, and textured silver-tone finishes in a durable form.
Customers looking for a compact case can also compare it with other small mezuzahs designed for narrow trim, bedrooms, offices, apartments, and smaller interior doorways.
The Shin and Ten Commandments Design
The raised Shin on the front is the first letter of Shaddai (שַׁדַּי, Divine Name), traditionally associated with the mezuzah. Shaddai is also connected with Shomer Daltot Yisrael (שׁוֹמֵר דַּלְתוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל, Guardian of the doorways of Israel).
This traditional association gives the case meaningful Jewish identity, but the exterior symbol does not make the mezuzah kosher by itself. The kosher status comes from the handwritten klaf (קְלָף, parchment) placed inside the case.
The silver color gives the raised details a classic look and places this design naturally among silver mezuzah cases chosen for traditional, understated, and easy-to-match doorways.
Choosing the Correct 2.8-Inch Kosher Scroll
This mezuzah fits one 2.8-Inch (7 cm) Kosher Mezuzah Scroll. A standard 4-Inch scroll is too large for this case, so the smaller compatible parchment must be selected when adding a scroll.
If you choose No Scroll, the mezuzah will ship as an empty case. Choose this option if you already have a kosher scroll that fits this size.
If you need a scroll as well, choose the Extra Small Kosher Mezuzah Scroll. When purchased together, Mezuzah Store can carefully roll and insert the scroll through the back of the case before shipping.
The case protects and presents the scroll, while the handwritten parchment fulfills the mitzvah (מִצְוָה, commandment). Additional sizes and writing traditions are available in our Mezuzah Scrolls collection.
The sacred text inside a mezuzah contains the Shema and Vehaya im shamoa passages handwritten by a qualified sofer STaM according to halacha.
Mounting and Exterior Doorpost Use
The Ten Commandments Mezuzah affixes with nails or screws, which are included. The top and bottom mounting openings help secure the small pewter case firmly to the doorpost.
The case should sit flat against the mounting surface without placing pressure on the scroll chamber. Additional mezuzah nails and screws are available if replacement hardware is ever needed.
This mezuzah is suitable for indoor doorways and exterior doorposts when the back is sealed properly with double-sided tape. Proper sealing helps protect the scroll from ordinary moisture and makes the case water-resistant.
Water-resistant does not mean completely waterproof. For exterior installations, the seal should be checked periodically, especially on doorposts exposed to rain, sprinklers, strong sun, or changing temperatures. Customers comparing protective options can browse our outdoor mezuzah cases.
Placement and Blessing
Correct mezuzah placement generally positions the case on the right side when entering the room or home, within the upper portion of the doorpost and according to the household’s minhag (מִנְהָג, custom).
When the applicable halachic conditions are met, the bracha for mezuzah is recited during installation. The blessing relates to affixing a kosher mezuzah with a valid handwritten scroll inside.
With its compact size, silver pewter finish, Ten Commandments tablets, raised Shin, and Israeli origin, the Ten Commandments Mezuzah offers a meaningful traditional case for smaller Jewish doorways.
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.

Beautiful design and classic appearance. I am proud and thankful to display a Mezuzah on my home. I plan to purchase a few more for gifts to my family members.
As a Christian I am proud and thankful to display a blessed Mezuzah on my home. I plan on ordering more to give as gifts for family and friends.
G_D Bless the Jewish people!
The Mezuzah is perfect it fulfills more of my expectations.
Thank you
The pamphlet shows that the scroll is not the "10 commandments" and it does not look hand written or kosher..there is also no metal backing only sticky tape.
The main problem that makes me dissatisfied with this purchase is that we are not told to put the instructions of writing the Commandment on the the doorpost. This is not acceptable to me.
Now i must purchase an additional scroll yay actually has the 10 commandments.
Jewish Mezuzahs do not contain the text of the 10 commandments. They contain the 'Shema Yisrael' prayer from Deuteronomy 6.
All of our Mezuzahs are hand written on Klaf (leather parchment) according to Halacha (Jewish ritual law). Each scroll is carefully inspected by a trained scribe to assure that it conforms with all of the requirements.
This product is called 10 commandments Mezuzah because it has an image of the Tablets of the 10 commandments on the case. The scroll of course contains the text of 'Shma Yisrael' like every Jewish Mezuzah in the world.
I ordered the Ten Commandments mezuzah and they sent in one with roses. I ordered this for my daughters new home. I am disappointed that they are not sending to correct one until they receive the wrong one which I paid to send back and get reimbursed back once received.
The Mezuzah is very lovely. I am happy with it. Thank you.
The perfect blessed completion to my apartment.
Originally I thought the scroll was not included but I found that there is a sticky thing on the back of the mezuzah which I thought helped to adhere it to the post but I tore that off and found the scroll beautifully written so the package is complete. Thank you
Originally I mistakenly thought my scroll was not included. However it was under the white sticker thing. Praising YHWH for my Mezuzah and scroll it is beautiful. Thank you!
Very nice Mezuzah. Fast service. Thank you.
A constant reminder of our history and how we should live our lives. Placed on the door which we enter all the time.
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.
