Hi you all! My chosen word this week is Mezuzah, the
little box affixed to the door in a Jewish home, containing the words of the
'Shema Israel' beginning with the phrase:
"Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One" , taken from the
book of Deuteronomy. The
parchment, written by hand from a trained scribe 'Sofer Stam' in indelible ink
is rolled to fit into the casing. which is mostly decorated.
The Hebrew letters on the casing –
spell “Shaddai” – the Almighty.
I have made a 3-dimensional tag. I made a little paper
mezuzah case, and glued it together after colouring and decorating the outside.
I put a copy of the Hebrew parchment into it, and mounted it with screw brads
onto my tag. The mezuzah is always mounted at an angle on the right side of the
door post.
Thanks for looking, have a good week and take care!
Valerie
