  • Mezuzah is a little box placed on the front door frame of a house with scripture inside. From memory I think the scripture passage is:..As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

      They actually contains Deut. 6:4-9 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart." The Tefillin contain some additional texts and Orthodox Jewish men wear one on the forehead and one on the hand during morning prayers.

  • a Mezuzah is a small scroll affixed to the right-side (when entering) doorpost (usually in a protective/decorative case) or many doorways in a house. On the scroll the first verse and then the first 2 paragraphs of the "Shema" prayer are written (Deut 6:5-9 and 11:13-21). Tefillin (phylacteries) are leather boxes affixed to the forearm and forehead with leather straps. Each one has parchments in it which have some of the same verses (though there is some disagreement about exactly what/how/in what order sections are written). The precise way of wearing it (during morning prayers) is also a matter of a variety of opinions. http://www.jewfaq.org/prayer/tallit.htm

  • In modern times the Anglicized term “mezuzah” is used to denote a rectangular piece of parchment containing the Hebrew text of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Deuteronomy 11:13-21, generally written in 22 lines. The parchment is rolled up and placed in a wooden, metal, or glass case that is affixed in a slanting position on the right-hand doorpost of Orthodox Jewish dwellings, the upper part pointing inward and the lower part outward. The Hebrew word Shad·daiʹ (meaning “Almighty”) is written on the back of this parchment and is frequently visible through a glass-covered opening in the container. Sometimes the mezuzah case is artistically decorated. When Orthodox Jews enter or leave a house, they touch the mezuzah with the hand and recite the prayer, “May God keep my going out and my coming in from now on and ever more.” Tefillin are two small square leather boxes containing slips bearing Scriptural passages. These cases were traditionally worn on the left arm and on the head during weekday morning prayers. The mezuzah is a small parchment scroll inscribed with Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21, placed in a case fixed to the doorpost.
