Dear Mr. Mcentire,
Mezuzah-checking season is upon us!
Did you ever hear of mezuzah-checking season? During the last Hebrew month of the year, as we get ready for the High Holidays, scribes get really, really busy. The Rebbe encouraged everyone to follow the age-old tradition of using this time to check our tefillin and mezuzot.
So there’s no better time to launch our new mini-course: A Case for Mezuzah. Rabbi Menachem Kahn, a veteran sofer (“scribe”), will take you through how a mezuzah is written, why it matters so much, and just about everything you need to know to make sure your mezuzah is both kosher and in the right place. (Pro tip: a mezuzah on the wrong spot on the doorpost may not count at all.)
The course begins on 5 Elul / August 18 with the second segment following on 12 Elul / August 25, but once they air, you can access both of them anytime at your convenience.
Sign Up for A Case for Mezuzah
Looking forward to learning together, and it’s not too early to wish you a shanah tovah, a sweet new year!
Your friends at ChabadU
