We are thrilled to announce the overwhelming success of our Free Mezuzah campaign with achieving our goal in just 40 minutes!

Mezuzah cases and scrolls are en route to these homes, and we eagerly anticipate social media being flooded with posts from proud Jews.

Since the start of the war in Israel, Jews around the world have been searching for meaningful ways to connect to their heritage and to their community. To proudly and publicly proclaim their Jewish identity and unity through the mitzvah of mezuzah.

MyZuzah, and our partner organizations worldwide, are seeing an extraordinary increase in demand for mezuzot. The demand is so great, we do not have enough supplies to keep up with the requests.

Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt suggests that the best way to counter antisemitism is to proudly embrace our own Jewish traditions— and what better way to do that than with a mezuzah?

Opinion | Want to Fight Antisemitism? Embrace Jewish Traditions. Pride in culture is one of our most powerful tools in combating ignorance and hate.

We are so happy when we are able to make a difference in someone's life with a kosher mezuzah!

Project 613 connected with some young professionals in Chicago and helped them settle into their new apartments.

Did you know that My Zuzah has an instruction card on how to install a mezuzah? Here are some other important things to remember:
1. Right side of the door (as you enter)
2. Top third of the doorframe
3. Pointed straight up (Sefardi) or angled inward (Ashkenazi)
4. Mezuzahs are needed on all doors to rooms where you sleep, eat, or study
5. Don't put a mezuzah on bathroom or closet doors (unless the closet is very large)

In partnership with the team at Tikkun HaYam - Repair the Sea , we helped Camp Young Judaea Sprout Lake add new mezuzahs to their facilities. Their custom-3D printed mezuzah cases feature the Young Judaea lion, and MyZuzah’s kosher, fair-trade mezuzah klafim.

Following the excellent program hosted at the Momentum offices in Tel Aviv, one of their staff visited the community in Jurmala, Latvia, and hosted another mezuzah discussion and case decorating session, with a local artist!

In Offenbach am Main, Germany, Rabbi Yaakov Barasch continued his work with the local Jews, mainly of Soviet/Russian extraction. If you look closely, you can see that this mezuzah recipient remembers his relatives who perished in the Shoah (Holocaust) through their names, which are tattooed on his forearm.

We love learning about where you heard about MyZuzah! Thank you, PJ Library, for connecting people.

Our friend Becky Tahel Ben David kicked off the Israeli summer screening and discussion tour of her film, American Birthright, with JTLV and Rav Doniel Katz to a full crowd in Tel Aviv on Wednesday night. Becky is serving as an ambassador for My Zuzah, helping to connect us with new partners and supporters as we build up our presence in Israel.

Thank you for continuing to share how MyZuzah makes a difference in your lives!

Feel like you’ve seen a lot of My Zuzah mezuzahs around? That’s because we just put up our 10,000th mezuzah! With 300+ partners helping us to reach 68 countries, MyZuzah is proud to be weaving connections among Jews everywhere!

In Tel Aviv, a group of forty women who had left their homes in Russia, Ukraine, and Belorussia over the past year were gathered by Momentum
as part of an ongoing series of programs to help them integrate into their new country, and to engage with the Jewish heritage that many had never explored. Rabbi Motl Gordon led a session on mystical significance of the mezuzah, while touching upon the ideas of changing homes while remaining connected to G-d– something that tied together the overall theme about the meaning of home, in the context of fleeting your home, finding a new one in Israel, and having a Jewish home. 🇮🇱

My Zuzah is saddened by the loss of Gary Rosenthal, iconic artist, partner, and mensch. His work set a new standard for creativity in Judaica, and his efforts to make Jewish practice more joyful and beautiful will last for many generations. MyZuzah was privileged to collaborate with Gary on a special line of mezuzah cases, which we look forward to sharing with the world to elevate his soul and memory.

Just north of our offices, in the Baltimore, MD area, Rabbi Velvel Belinsky of the ARIEL Jewish Center continued his work with the local Russian-speaking community.

Way far east, in Tblisi, Georgia, our Olami partner launched a campaign for young professionals to receive our mezuzot in their community. Kasher RabanutgeoOlami Georgia

We love hearing your mezuzah stories!

In Ghana, our local contact Angel Wilberforce Tetteh of Beth HaArizal has begun distributing mezuzot to families. Through the Kulanu network, we just received a pledge of $1,000 to support our growing work in Africa. More pictures and good news to come!

In Chicago, IL, Doug and Carrie were super-excited to put up their mezuzah, courtesy of our partnership with 18Doors. They stayed an extra-long time during their Virtual Dedication to learn more about the history of mezuzahs!

Last month, Anshe Emet Synagogue and Holocaust Community Services in Chicago hosted an event where synagogue members joined for learning about the work of HCS, shared their personal stories, and then went off to place mezuzahs on the apartments of local Holocaust survivors.

One of the community members who helped to make visits and place mezuzahs with the survivors shared her feelings: This is such a gift to be able to participate in— to connect to survivors, to help connect them to their Judaism, especially if they weren’t able or comfortable before. Mezuzahs are particularly special, and really imbue the place with a different feeling.

MyZuzah wishes you a Chag Pesach Kasher V'Sameach! Have a happy and kosher Passover!
