The Scripted Shema White Acrylic Mezuzah is a waterproof mezuzah case made in Israel with a smooth white body, raised Hebrew writing, and a silver emblem near the top. The mezuzah cover presents words from Shema Yisrael (שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל, Hear O Israel) in a long vertical arrangement, making the sacred text the principal visual feature.
Among contemporary mezuzot, this design stands apart because the visible Hebrew is not a small accent. It extends through most of the front and gives the narrow white case a distinctly text-centered identity.

Raised Shema Text on the Scripted White Acrylic Mezuzah
The visible inscription begins with the Shema and continues through selected words from the first paragraph. Near the lower portion appears u'khtavtam (וּכְתַבְתָּם, and you shall write them), language that leads into the Torah instruction concerning the doorposts of the home and the gates.
A silver emblem near the top combines a stylized Shin and a small Torah scroll. The raised words are decorative and do not replace the handwritten parchment inside. The page on the meaning of a mezuzah explains why the case and klaf have different roles.
The white body keeps the long inscription readable without making the design feel visually heavy. Its clean palette gives it a natural place among white mezuzah cases.
Acrylic allows the detailed raised lettering to remain crisp while supporting exterior use. Other products made from the same lightweight material appear among acrylic mezuzah cases.
Kosher Scroll Guidance for the Scripted Shema Mezuzah
This 5 1/2-inch acrylic mezuzah fits up to a 5-inch (13 cm) kosher mezuzah scroll. The mounting recesses and bottom closure reduce the usable interior length, so the parchment must be selected according to the verified chamber fit. Compatible options appear among kosher mezuzah scrolls.
The klaf (קְלָף, parchment) enters from the bottom and must not be folded, trimmed, crushed, pinched, pierced, compressed, or forced. Mezuzah Store can roll and insert a compatible scroll chosen through the product add-on area. The article on the mezuzah scroll explains why the handwritten sacred text carries kedushah (קְדֻשָּׁה, holiness) and fulfills the mitzvah.
Script choice can follow family minhag (מִנְהָג, custom). Ashkenazi families may review Ashkenazi mezuzah scrolls, while Sephardic households can compare Sephardic mezuzah scrolls.
Chabad customers can consider Chabad mezuzah scrolls. The article on sofer STaM explains how a sofer STaM (סוֹפֵר סת״ם, Jewish scribe) forms and checks the sacred letters by hand.
Waterproof Acrylic Care for the Scripted Shema Mezuzah
The white acrylic body is verified as waterproof and suitable for indoor or exterior doorways. The bottom opening must still be closed correctly, and the kosher mezuzah scroll should remain wrapped and secure. Its verified exposure level makes it suitable among outdoor mezuzahs.
Wipe the body and raised lettering with a soft, nonabrasive cloth. Harsh chemicals, rough pads, and aggressive scrubbing may mark the acrylic or collect residue around the Hebrew letters.
Mounting the Scripted Shema Acrylic Mezuzah
Recessed areas at the top and bottom provide visible mounting points for nails or screws, while suitable tape offers another verified option. Hardware users can select from mezuzah nails and screws appropriate for the doorway surface.
Adhesive installation should use secure material intended for a mezuzah case. Available mezuzah mounting tape provides an alternative when visible hardware is not preferred.
The guide to placing and mounting a mezuzah explains ordinary surface preparation and alignment.
Medium White Acrylic Mezuzah for Jewish Doorways
At 5 1/2 inches tall, this product falls within the medium mezuzah cases range. Its narrow half-inch width gives the Hebrew enough vertical space to remain readable without creating a broad footprint.
Made in Eretz Yisrael (אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל, Land of Israel), the design combines contemporary acrylic with recognizably Jewish language and symbolism.
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.
