Handmade Glass & Stained Glass Mezuzahs - Jacob's Ladder Mezuzah Light Blue Iridescent

Many interpretations exist about the interpretation of the ladder in all religions. The most famous ladder in Jewish tradition is the one Jacob saw in his dream with "angels of God going up and down on it." The ladder symbolized the stairway leading up the the altar in the Temple. Another Hasidic interpretation of the ladder is that the ladder represents an individual's spiritual development. As one learns more about Judaism, one ascends the ladder. A person can always strive to reach further up the ladder of holiness. This Jacob's Ladder mezuzah would be a special gift for a bar or bat mitzvah, an Jewish educator, a scholar, or anyone who wants to ascend the ladder. The graphic of Jacob's ladder has been sandblasted on stained glass and fire polished in the kiln before the second layer of glass is added. The mezuzah cover is then adhered to the plexiglass case. The mezuzah case comes with nails and a printed scroll or klaf, ready to be placed on the doorpost of a Jewish home. The scroll contains the words of two passages from Deuteronomy, 11:13 and 6:4-9. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 has the words of the "Shema Israel" in which God commands Jews to keep God's words constantly in their minds and in their hearts. Scroll opening - 7mm Plexiglass case 1 1/4 x 6 "
