Mezuzah

Adorn the entry way to your home with your own personally designed Mezuzah. Students will learn the significance and the meaning of the Mezuzah in addition to creating their own. The Mezuzah case is made with either a gold or silver metallic material for a modern feel or with clay for an antique look. Students decorate their Mezuzah with the traditional writing of “Shadai,” personal designs, and appropriate Jewish ornamentation. This workshop also teaches students to learn and write the “Shema” in Hebrew on parchment paper to experience calligraphic, “Sofer-Stam” (Scribe) style writing. The parchment paper will be secured inside their casing and will easily be fashioned to any doorway to complete the ancient tradition of fixing a Mezuzah.
