This Nuj opens later today. You can read it now, and mark it done when it is time.
“Coming and going, you are remembered.”
Why it matters
The mezuzah sits on the doorframe of a Jewish home, holding the words of the Shema. Touching it turns a doorway into a moment of attention.
How to do it
Many people touch the mezuzah and then their lips as they pass through a doorway — a small marker between inside and out.
- Pause at the door.
- Touch the mezuzah with your fingertips.
- Bring your fingers to your lips.
- Step through.
