Choosing a Scroll for the Extra Large Birkat HaBayit Mezuzah Select a listed kosher mezuzah scroll in the Complete Your Mezuzah area. The klaf (קְלָף, klahf, parchment) must fit without folding, trimming, or compression. If purchased together, the scroll can be rolled, wrapped, and inserted before shipping. Read about what is inside the mezuzah scroll, the craftsmanship of the Sofer (scribe) and why the parchment fulfills the mitzvah. Mounting the Extra Large Textured Black Concrete Mezuzah Apply the included tape to a clean, dry, flat surface after confirming proper mezuzah placement. Close the snap-in cap securely and inspect exterior installations periodically. Use fresh mezuzah mounting tape if the case is relocated.
