How to affix a "Mezuzzah" ?????

Many of you are aware of the Jewish Roots class I have taught in different countries. I just put this short video together demonstrating something that has been done by the Jews for centuries if not thousands of years. This shows me affixing a Mezuzzah to my office door. Most are affixed in the inside of the door frame, but I affixed mine to the front for aesthetic and practical reasons. If I get too much flack for it not being exactly "kosher" I'll re-affix it.

Enjoy!

What is the purpose of you having a Mezuzzah?

Do you also wear a yarmulke?

The purpose? Because I want one on my office door. Good for conversation.

I wore one at the synagogue at Passover last month. I don't wear one unless I'm teaching about it.

I bought one of these door Mezuzzahs a while back, but never got around to putting it by my door. Now I want to go find it and put it up!

That's the same reason I had put one up on our last house. I'll watch the video to see if I did it right or not, lol.

That's really neat! You know, I teach this Jewish "stuff" in depth, but I have never taught that we must return it. There just really is a HUGE amount of insight and revelation that we can glean from it though. Doesn't make any of us more or less saved, just greater understanding, which, when it comes to the Word of God, can't be bad!

I'm not going to knock anyone for doing any of these things. To each their own I suppose.

But... on the statement "when it comes to the Word of God, can't be bad" I would only point out the following.

In the word of God there was instruction given to make a brazen serpent. Later on that serpent had to be destroyed because the clamor over the symbol had superseded the instruction and intent behind it.

I think that we do need to recognize that symbols can take on a meaning and worth to us that is far beyond the intended use and purpose. As fleshly beings we have a propensity to latch onto symbols to the point that the symbols themselves bear as much worth as the truths they were intended to convey. It is simply demonstrated human nature that we have this tendency.

I am not casting judgment on anyone elses position in relation to these symbols. I am just stating that a blanket statement like the one I quoted above is, upon closer observation, not necessarily so.

Do you dress like a Muslim when you are teaching on Isalm?
