Silver Inlay Clear Lucite Mezuzah

The trick in this case is depth. A clear lucite shell with a slim silver plaque suspended inside it, so the metal appears to hover a few millimetres behind the surface rather than sitting on it. Walk past the doorway and the plaque shifts against the shell as the angle changes. Photographs do not really capture it, which is the honest problem with selling it online. Made in Israel at five and a half inches, and priced so that a second or third case for the house is an easy decision rather than a considered one. It belongs with the rest of our clear lucite mezuzahs and our acrylic mezuzahs, and the metal insert also puts it in the conversation alongside our silver mezuzahs.

The Basic Kosher Mezuzah Scroll is the standard 4-inch option, while the Mehudar Ari-Zal Mezuzah Scroll at 5 inches (12 cm) fills the cavity completely. If you buy the scroll from us as well, we can ship your mezuzah with the scroll carefully rolled and inserted inside the case. When this mezuzah is shipped with a scroll already inserted, we seal the opening to help create an airtight fit, making the case usable on exterior doorways when properly sealed. The scroll enters through the bottom rather than the back on this design, which keeps the face uninterrupted and means there is no seam line running down the front. What goes in is a kosher klaf (קְלָף, parchment) carrying the Shema (שְׁמַע) and the parshiyot (פָּרָשִׁיּוֹת, Torah passages), handwritten by a sofer (סוֹפֵר, scribe); without it the case is an ornament rather than a mezuzah. Families buying by minhag (מִנְהָג, custom) can work through our Ashkenaz Mezuzahs and our Sephardi Mezuzahs, the full range of sizes and grades is in the main kosher mezuzah scroll collection, and our guide to mezuzah lettering styles covers the ksav differences if this is a first purchase. Silver Inlay Clear Lucite Mezuzah Design Most cases we sell mount one way. This one takes nails, screws or double-sided tape, which matters more than it sounds. On a steel or aluminium doorframe adhesive alone is unreliable over a hot summer; on a rental, drilling is not an option at all. Having all three available means the same case works in both situations, and if tape is the route, our mezuzah mounting tape is cut for exactly this width. Suspended silver plaque: Set inside the shell for visible depth rather than surface decoration Three mounting options: Nails, screws or tape, suitable for wood, metal or rented frames Bottom-opening cavity: Uninterrupted face with no seam down the front Narrowest 0.5-inch profile: The slimmest case we stock at this height Waterproof lucite: Rated for exterior doorways and humid rooms Where a Slim Lucite Mezuzah Works Best Narrow frames are where this case earns its place: metal office doorjambs, apartment entrances with shallow moulding, closet and utility doors where a stone piece would look absurd. It is also the sensible choice for a doorway that already carries a substantial case elsewhere in the house and does not need a second focal point. Interior doors across the home are covered in our indoor mezuzahs. Our guide to putting up a mezuzah covers the doorpost, the height and the angle, and which rooms need a mezuzah works through which doorways in a home or office actually require a mezuzah before you order. Get Mezuzahs for Your Entire Home! Jewish tradition places a mezuzah on nearly every doorway of the home, not only the front door. Bedrooms, the kitchen, a study and the back door all take one, which is why most families build their collection a few doors at a time. Our guide to which rooms need a mezuzah works through which doorways are obligated, and the full range of mezuzot is organised by size, material and colour so a second case is easy to match to the first.
