Mezuzahs are essentially what identifies a Jewish home. While the word "mezuzah" is generally associated with the case, it actually refers to the scroll inside, the most important part of the mezuzah. The scroll contains parts of the book of Deuteronomy, which is actually the prayer of Shema Yisrael, symbolic of the Jewish connection to God. You can read more about the tradition of the mezuzah here!

Mezuzah cases, though, are the artistic part of the mezuzah as a whole. Meant to keep the scroll safe, Jewish artists have been creating beautiful cases for centuries, putting them on synagogues, Jewish institutions, and their own homes around the world. When choosing a case, make sure you have a kosher mezuzah scroll, meaning the words are not smudged or missing, and that the letters are all intact - and check out our guide to kosher mezuzah scrolls so you can decide which type of scroll is the right for you. Mezuzahs should also be checked twice every seven years by a rabbi to make sure they are in good condition.

We have many artistic mezuzah cases from Israeli designers - check out some of our favorites below!

 

Children's Mezuzahs

Children's MezuzahFrom a small age, one of the first mitzvahs a child learns is about the mezuzah. Children's mezuzahs are brightly colored and the perfect addition to their room, making them excited about Judaism. Adorable robots, fluttering butterflies, and smiling animals adorn these mezuzah cases which you can pick out together or give as their first piece of Judaica. A night time sky is a very soothing picture while adding a slight touch of religion to your child's room. The mezuzah given to a child is so meaningful and might even be something they one day pass down to children of their own.

❤︎ We love this train mezuzah and this dogs mezuzah.

Outdoor Mezuzahs

Outdoor mezuzahs are the ones that show off a Jewish home, and sometimes even what to expect inside the house. Jerusalem Stone mezuzahs show off your love for the Old City with a Western Wall motif, while bright and colorful mezuzah cases, like this stylish striped case, might give a hint to how the home is filled with a fun family. Dorit Judaica's mezuzahs, meanwhile, are decorated with chic cutouts or beautiful florals. An outdoor mezuzah is generally made of materials that can withstand the weather, but if you live in an apartment building you can choose something a bit more elegant that you don't have to worry about.

❤︎ We love this Jerusalem Stone mezuzah and this minimalistic mezuzah.
