MezuzahCongratulations on
purchasing your new Mezuzah!

Here are some of the basic laws pertaining to affixing a Mezuzah.
If you have any special questions, please consult your local Rabbi.

1. Mezuzos are necessary for the doorways of each room as well as for hallwaysdoor position, whether for the home or business, either owned or rented.

2.Rooms which require Mezuzos may include attics, basements, laundry rooms, garages, walk-in closets, etc..., (excluding bathrooms).

3. Once a Mezuzah is put up, it must remain up! Even if the occupant moves, they must leave the Mezuzah on, unless they know the newcomers are non-Jews.

4. The Mezuzah should be rolled with care from the left side to the right
(so that the letters Hebrew letters are showing on the outside) and then wrapped in wax paper.
(See Fig. A)

5. It should then be placed into the case so that the letters Hebrew letters are facing outside and on top. (See Fig. A)

6. The case should be affixed to the right side of the doorpost (on the “entrance” side of the room) a third of the way down, and slanted top-side inward. (See Fig. B)

7. Before affixing the Mezuzah, the following Bracha should be made:
