What is the mezuzah?

A mezuzah is a small parchment scroll with the Shema handwritten on it, placed in a case on the doorposts of a Jewish home. The mitzvah of fixing it is from the Shema itself. Noticing it, and traditionally touching it, when you pass through is a tiny act of remembering what is written inside.

Why it matters

Doorways are the most repeated moment of any day. Turning them into a fifteen-second pause means that leaving the house and coming home both carry a reminder: this home is dedicated to something. It is the easiest mitzvah on the list and one of the most frequent.
