Though I am not Jewish/Mediterranean/eastern I’ve always loved mezzuzahs ever since I found one on a sidewalk in NYC 50+ years ago..
I love the idea of encapsulated blessings-for oneself, others or a home. I got this for my daughter simply because it’s beautiful-and beautifully executed. It’s a ‘container’ and that leaves all sorts of things that be kept near the heart: a kosher blessing, photo or lock of hair. Truly a good thing!
