Mezuzah
You Shall Write Them upon the Doorposts of Your House and upon Your Gates
By Toby Janicki, First published in September, 2007
We may have read in the Scriptures that we are to "...write these words on our doorposts and gates," but we may still wonder "Which words? And how?" The new Mezuzah booklet helps you discover the scriptural basis for the tradition of the mezuzah and its history from the time of Moses to the present day. Study the mezuzah's symbolism and how it reveals the work of Messiah in our everyday lives.
Watch an Introduction to the Mezuzah, by Toby Janicki
The mezuzah's purpose is to remind us of the commandments of the Torah every time we pass by it. This is the context of the mezuzah verses in Deuteronomy. Moses urges us to "fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, all the days of your life" (Deuteronomy 6:2). It is the same way with all the physical symbols of Torah.
The world is constantly moving away from godliness. This is a daily struggle for every man and woman of faith. Diligence and focus are much-needed characteristics for our walk. Every day we see images that do not project godliness and that entice us away from Torah. From billboards to magazine covers to TV commercials, we are flooded with images of immorality, frivolousness and materialism. We need visible reminders to point us back to the path of Torah and to combat these negative influences.
Mezuzah Case and Scroll
The transparent mezuzah case comes with a legally kosher scroll containing the Hebrew text of the Shema, handwritten by a certified scribe.

I loved Toby's explanation of the Mezuzah and I think it is wonderful that FFOZ is offering not only a mezuzah, but also the book that explains the concept and use. One thing that caught my attention was the difference in the Mezuzah on the door of the house Toby entered and the Mezuzah offered from First Fruits. I would much prefer the Mezuzah on Toby's door.
Shalom,
Nancy

Yes, I totally agree that we are inundated every day with worldy images. We become what we put before our eyes!
So, it is very important to be reminded of the Torah and everything we are to remember.
Thank you so much for your dedicated study and work for the kingdom of heaven. We do appreciate it very much!

Toby,
Thank you for inviting us into your home. Likewise, thank you for the interesting and informative instruction regarding the mezuzah. I learned new insights into the practice of such, and bonus words and thoughts as a result of this simple lesson. I can hardly wait to read the book.

Shalom Toby,
I offer free of charge, to all new friends in haMessiach here in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, a Mezuzah for their doorposts to encourage them to place one on every door and gate. I shall tell them about yours. Great lesson and Mezuzah, keep up the good work. Blessings in Yeshua,
Aaron
