Mezuzah Madness

In Judaic Studies and during Tfillah, we have been learning a lot of facts about the MEZUZAH.

We went on a Mezuzah Hunt around our school to see how many we could find.

We also created a mind map on the board, showing everything we know. Each class member then created their own mind map, which is now on display in our room.

Some facts we know include:

• We hang it on all the doors in our home except the bathroom
• The mezuzah scroll is written on parchment 
• It is written using a feather pen (quill) and black ink. 
• It contains the Shema and it keeps us safe. 
• We need to send it to a sofer to check it and make sure it is not damaged.
• The Shema is also written in the Tefillin and the Torah.

We read a story about why the mezuzah is slanted. It helps us remember to compromise, being in the 'middle road' and the lesson is about listening to each other. 

We created our own mezuzah scrolls with black 'ink' and feathers. We can't wait for a special visitor to come next week and show us a real mezuzah scroll!!

Mezuzah Hunting!
