Mezuzah Questions & Answers

Find out the answers to all of your questions on the Mezuzah!

What to Do with Mezuzahs Found on Doors?
And why are they there in the first place?
Is It OK to Wear a Mezuzah Necklace?
There are records of people using mezuzot as amulets since ancient times.
Do I Need an Alarm System if I have a Mezuzah?
if we have faith, aren't mezuzahs enough?
What Should I Do with the Mezuzah Box?
Sacred objects themselves, such as a Torah scroll or the parchment of the mezuzah on which Biblical verses are written, cannot just be thrown in the garbage; they need to go through a special burial process.
Why Kiss the Mezuzah?
I want to understand why some people touch the mezuzah on the doorpost of their home as they enter or leave?
Do I Need Anything Besides the Mezuzah Case?
I purchased three mezuzahs from a synagogue sale (without the parchment). I’ve heard they are very expensive; can I just place a copy inside?
A Mezuzah For a Car or Mobile Home?
Some choose to place mezuzot in their cars, such as mezuzah pendants that hang from the rearview mirror. Is this problematic?
When to Install a Mezuzah?
When to put up the mezuzah depends on whether you are renting or buying the home, as well as whether the home is in Israel or in the diaspora.
