Tefillin & Mezuzot
We can help you choose and purchase a pair of Tefillin.
Tefillin includes several levels of Kashrut. You can rest assured that you are
getting the highest quality Tefillin for each level of Kashrut. Each set of Tefillin is
checked both by computer and by a certified scribe. This can also be arranged
for alongside Bar Mitzvah preparation and instruction.
The Mezuzah is a specially prepared parchment scroll on which a skilled
Scribe, called a Sofer, has very carefully written the text of the Shema. This Scroll
is rolled up and placed in a case and affixed to the right hand doorpost
of every doorway in one's home, except for the bathroom and toilet.
The Rambam writes that the Mezuzah reminds us of the presence and the
Unity of G‑d, arousing us to love G‑d and walk in His path. The Sages also
tell us that the Mezuzah has a protective power for the family
dwelling in that home.
Even when one's Mezuzah was indeed properly kosher when bought,
it is important to have it checked regularly. The Code of Law states this
should be 'twice in seven years'. However today, chemicals in the air and other
factors lead rabbis to recommend that one should have them checked
more frequently.
To acquire a Mezuzah or to have your Mezuzot checked,
contact us at the centre or call Rabbi Katz on 07868741235.
