Handmade Glass & Stained Glass Mezuzahs - Ner Tamid (Eternal Light) Mezuzah Medium Blue Opalescent

The ner tamid is a separate light kept burning "from evening until morning before the Lord", symbolic of the presence of God. When the symbol is used in this mezuzah it reminds us of the presence of God in our home as well as in the home of all Jewish people. The graphic was designed with Julie Staller-Pentelnik, well known Hebrew calligrapher and ketubot artist. The ner tamid is the perfect gift for any occasion - bar or bat mitzah, new home, or wedding. The graphic on the mezuzah has been sandblasted and fire polished in the kiln before a second layer of glass is added. 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"
