Handmade Glass & Stained Glass Mezuzahs - Pomegranate Mezuzah Red Iridescent

The vibrant iridescent red pomegranate is sandblasted on the mezuzah. The graphic was designed with Julie Staller-Pentelnik, a Hebrew calligrapher and ketubah artist. The pomegranate has many meanings in Judaism. In the Bible, the pomegranate is mentioned as one of the seven species representing the fertility of the Land of Israel. In Song of Songs, the pomegranate is the symbol of love, fire and passion. In the Midrash, the 613 seeds within the pomegranate correspond to the number of mitzvot described in the Torah. The pomegranate mezuzah 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"
