About the Item
Large silver Mezuzah made in Israel by S Zilka, Circa 1980
WHAT IS A MEZUZAH?
The Hebrew word mezuzah means “doorpost.” According to tradition, the mezuzah is to be affixed to the doorpost at the entrance to a Jewish home as well as at the entrance to each of the interior rooms except for bathrooms. The mezuzah itself consists of a small scroll of parchment (k’laf ) on which are written two biblical passages. The first is Deuteronomy 6:4–9:
Hear, O Israel! The Eternal is our God, the Eternal alone. You shall love the Eternal your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. Take to heart these instructions with which I charge you this day. Impress them upon your children. Recite them when you stay at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them serve as a symbol on your forehead; inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
The second passage is Deuteronomy 11:13–21:

A Silver Mezuzah Case by Bezalel, Jerusalem Circa 1920
Located in New York, NY
A silver mezuzah case made by Bezalel in Jerusalem circa 1920 is a significant piece of Judaica, representing a fusion of traditional Jewish motifs and early 20th-century design. The Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts played a crucial role in the development of Jewish art in the modern era, and items produced by its artists are highly prized.
The Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts was Founded by Boris Schatz in Jerusalem, the school aimed to create a new Jewish art form that combined European techniques with Middle Eastern and Jewish themes. Jerusalem in the 1920s was marked by significant growth and development in the Jewish community, with an emphasis on cultural and artistic expression. The Bezalel School played a pivotal role in this cultural renaissance.
Mezuzah case is fashioned in Silver repoussé at the top and bottom in a gadroon design and the center is framed with a beaded pattern. A prominent letter "Shin" in a circle band with "Jerusalem" written below it in Hebrew among diamond-shaped and swirl motifs adorn the front of the case.
