Description One of the most special things about the Jewish faith, culture and people is the sheer age and degree of tradition that they all have. We’re proud to honor that heritage at Your Holy Land Store and nowhere is that tradition more apparent than in this classically-designed green glass mezuzah. For those that don’t know, a Mezuzah is a piece of parchment—usually contained within a decorative case, such as this one — which contain the words of the Shema Yisrael, a frequently-quoted piece of scripture. Families generally hang them on or near doors, which is where this green glass mezuzah comes in handy. At the top of the case is the Hebrew letter "SHIN", the first letter of "SHOMER DLATOT ISRAEL" or "Guardian of the Doors of Israel" — one of the many ways in which the Chosen People refer to God. This particular case features a highly convenient opening at the bottom which is sealed with a silicon plug, thereby making parchment storage extremely easy, while the exterior is still durable enough for use outdoors. It is made of thick, shading green glass, measures 14.5cm/5.8inch, and could be just the thing to pull together your outdoor décor while proudly proclaiming your faith and culture. On top of the mezuzah there is a Hebrew letter "SHIN". This is first letter of "SHOMER DLATOT ISRAEL" or "Guardian of the Doors of Israel" - one of the names of God.
