In the actual verse written of the Veahavta the last sentence states .
"Write them on your doorposts and gates"
This is from the jewish bible.
Meorah!! It's so good to see you on more channels!! 💖💖💖💖
Thank you 🥰🙏
So beautifully and clearly explained! Thanks! 💙💙💙🔯🔯🔯
The editing was so hectic 😂 i love the trampoline! You and your family are so cute. Loved this video ❤
Awesome video - very inspirational! Thank you.
That was amazing❤ i wish you'd mention the origin of that mitzvah... It has a lot pf value. God bless you ❤
This lady really shine a Jewish Neshemah and this is the real thing. But it comes than we do mitzvot´s
Very interesting vid! And BTW, I have one made out of rocket shrapnel.
Thank you 😊
Great videa❤
My Shiduch and I plant to get the nicest Mezuzot we can afford for our first home together.
Well done!
Lovely video!
Great vid, great presenter
There is no apostrophe after "O" in "Hear O Israel(...)". It's not a contraction, it's its own little word, similar to "oh", but older and more solemn.
There is no translation. You can't express Jewish thought exactly in any language but Hebrew. For sure it can't be expressed in a xtian-based language like English.
Can I put Mizuzah at my door post if I have no source to have kosher mizuzah so can I download and print than put my door post in india there is no shop or inscriber in my town please reply me ❤🎉
Perhaps better than nothing as a reminder but it won’t have the same spiritual impact. Best to consult your local Orthodox Rabbi for guidance.
@@hameorah in my city there is no Rabbi and there is no jew and no synagogue,I am from India what should I do please ask You your Rabbi I love Torah and I worship Only One GOD or Hashem or Allah Subhanotaalaa My G-D is the Same of Jews Alhamdulillah.please convey my Message to Your Rabbi And Pray for me Ameen 🎉
@@The-Shayar
Kesa hai ji ?
There are some indian communities in India try Delhi or Cochin, i know it is a vast country.
You can always order online.
The cover is relativity inexpensive it is the scroll that is a bit more costive.
If you're intention is good and sincere (which is not in doubt) that is what really counts and that you dont desecrate it.
Being mindful of the purpose of the mezuzah !
Islam=idolatry.
@@hameorahA fake is actually *not* better than nothing in Judaism. We learn this from the explanation of a pig in the Torah. At first glance it appears kosher because of its cloven hooves. But unlike every other animal with cloven hooves, it is not a ruminant (ie does not chew its cud). Therefore, it is the quintessential symbol of dishonesty and teaches that Jewish-ish is not Jewish enough.
This is very interesting but I’m also genuinely curious about your status as a convert- Are you still considered one of the chosen people and if so does that mean being chosen is to do with the quality of the relationship with the one God rather than your DNA?
The people Israel are a family chosen to do a particular job, who accepted the job. Of course she is part of the family.
@aryebognar6663 ^^^ this. The Israelites chose to accept the Torah, as did Meorah. We Choose to accept that distinction. (Not superior, just different. G-d made many varieties for a reason. 💜)
I have some videos on my personal channel about conversion if you’re interested. It’s not just about the quality of relationship with G-d as every human being has full right and access to connect with the Creator, but it’s about the nature of that relationship and the covenant (ie the responsibilities) we have as a people. Our spiritual role as a nation is to remind the world of G-d’s oneness through our actions.
A very very long time ago... Israelites asked the same question about Ruth...there is a whole book written about her :) I think you will find it interesting!
@@Katrene.Oh what a beautiful response. Thank you Katrene 🙏🏻🫶🏼
Where Can I buy a Mezuzah? Can I buy it coming from ISrael? thank you
Of course! U can buy it anywhere in the world where a large number of Jews live. If u r in a place with no Jews or not so many, u may not be able to find shops that sell, and yes u can also buy from Israel if u like.❤
There are many many online shops that ship directly from Israel. Even with everything going on, shipping times are amazingly fast. 💜
Please be aware of the difference between a Mezuzah holder (protective cover) and the actual scroll which must be kosher.
Contact your nearest Hebrew Congregation.
I was always aware that touching the Mezuzah was acknowledging the reminder (the prayer inside) of our obligation to Hashem.
It isn't idolatry.
Whats the Inc of writing the schma? Does anybody know?
What do you mean by Inc?

In the Torah, there is no mention of a cylinder, box, or even parchment, but only the doorposts themselves. Why does apparently no one write the verses on the door in the open, so people can actually read them?
Excellent question!!!! The same way that you would not wear an unset diamond or buy loose pages of a manuscript in a bookstore that have not been bound as a book, Jews place a high premium on preserving and protecting holy artifacts in ways that enhance their beauty while minimizing damage. Because of the process and materials used, the letters on a claf (Torah parchment) can flake off over time if exposed to air and humidity. So, the case keeps the message within intact, just as the tefillin boxes do.
Because we also have an oral Torah, which details exactly how to keep the commandments. Without the oral Torah, one couldn't observe any of the commandments.
Explain to me why there shouldn't be any figures or pictures on mezuzah cover?
There are all kinds of mezuzahs. I can imagine some people might not want a mezuzah to have what could be construed as an "idol" on it, but I the video shows mezuzahs with images and figures: ua-cam.com/video/JCBQPGFYZ34/v-deo.html

Is not Bible .., IS TORAH , is the truth Divine Torah 🙏 🇮🇱👏✅😃
The Torah is part of the Tanach, which some call the Bible. ✡️❤️
The Torah is part of what's called the Hebrew Bible (which the Christians refer to as the Old Testament). The New Testament discusses the life and ministry of J*sus (fulfilling the Law) and the apostles.
@a.f.2330 You spelled Jesus wrong. Anyway, I thought Jews the original name, Yeshúa. 🤔
@@sitresjolie2343 Yes, but the Tanakh is kosher as is the Torah. And Torah is in Hebrew. The "Old Testament" has books rearranged and translation that goes along with the New Testament idea.
Until recently I've never heard a single christian use the term yeshua. Have people said it for a long time?
Could you explain if Judaism believes there is only one God and separation is an illusion then why are they obsessed with them being the chosen people and separate from the rest of humanity including a separate religion for the “noahides”
If you read the bible, the first twenty verses of the first chapter describe how The Almighty separated light from darkness, lights from lights, waters from waters, day from night. Indeed, subdividing matter according to assigned functions is a central theme of the creation narrative.
We aren't obsessed with the "chosen people". For some reason, gentiles, especially antisemites are.

You don't just tack it up. You make a bracha.
GOD - "Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place. " JEREMIAH 22:3. THIS is the goodness and morality of God. Follow God, not Zionism.
That's true , zionism destroys the essence of Judaism
Israel is 20% Arab and they live just fine. My doctor and dentist are both Arab. Many school teachers, members of Parliament, bus drivers, real estate agents -- all Arab. So, the issue is not with the resident alien, the issue is with a rodef. Go look up those verses and tell me what you find. I'll wait...
@lisettegarcia the problem is zionism they migrated to Palestine with the idea to start a nation without the consent of the people living there , zionism has destroyed the essence of Judaism and the semetic people as a whole
@lisettegarcia Palestinians are the native people of the land. They, genetically, are the native descendants of the ancient Hebrew people. How did they end up in the controlled mass prisons of Gaza? The European immigrants saw themselves as superior and entitled to what these longstanding communities had, because they were European. They massacred, stole from, and forced the rightful owners of the communities into camps, and then into Gaza. They have been controlled, oppressed, abused, deprived, and murdered by Israel since. All criminal. All against God's instructions. Those European immigrants should simply have settled in the existing communities and uninhabited land. There was plenty. They murdered and stole instead.
@@lisettegarcia Those Arabs in Israel do not have equal rights. They can't buy and own land or be a settler as Jewish people can.
U dont know for sure that touching it wont make ur day better.
Only He knows that.
Too much idolatry here. American jewry.
It is true that living immersed in a notzri environment, those tendencies can rub off. The mezuzah is absolutely *not* a good luck charm.
GOD - "For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another, if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.. THEN I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever. " JEREMIAH 7 THIS is the goodness and morality of God. Follow God, not Zionism
GOD - "There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up conflict in the community. " PROVERBS 6: 16-19. The Nakba, Zionists, modern Israel, Netanyahu, IDF, Mossad, and settlers have all followed their own desires, and willingly defied and disobeyed God to commit horrific atrocities and war crimes to become who God finds detestable. Follow God, not Zionism.
YOU are the false witness who pours out lies in this thread.
@lisettegarcia So, there was no arrogance, no lies told, no innocent blood shed, no wicked schemes, no rush to commit abuse and oppression, no false information fed to the world from Zionists? Israel? Netanyahu? IDF? Mossad? Settlers? These groups have NOT gone their own way to get what they want by any means necessary?? They have followed the instructions of God to show equality, justice, goodness, charity, and righteousness to the world??
GOD - "When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. " LEVITICUS 19:33-34. The God of Zionism is not this God. Follow God, not Zionism.

שלום עליכם אני מהודו מוסלמי ,שמי הוא שאהיד בייג🎉
I bought Canaan pharaoh Joseph for Benjamin priminster isrealite king
I agree that one god revealed himself in the Torah … Tanakh and the New Testament…the finished 3 parts of the Bible
Jesus in the Garden of Eden
Jesus Wrestling with Jacob
Jesus visiting Abraham with two angels …before he destroyed the Pride of Sodom ..
Jesus then is come as Emanuel…in Bethlehem…the lamb of god … closes the old covenant of Moses and brings the New covenant of Jeremiah
The king of Salvation…. The lord forever….The plural god who made Adam and Eve
Do the make the Torah an …..idolatry ..a rejection on the lord …like Isaiah reveals …in the first pages
Absolutely true. And there are plenty of pesukim throughout the Torah reminding observant Jews that we learn in order to do and not as an end in itself.
You're not Israelite, nor do you have any connection to them
but she said she's converted, so what's your problem
@@nickdubov8316Okey? She can be as deluded as she want np
No this Torah you jews wrote in i did not say half the shit wrote im Adam DAS moglee Cain alladan Joseph Achilles Ishmael Moses Isaiah gidian rabbi Jesus I'm David Austin Simmons gold Beach Oregon neskia by Ophir hardtack ridge ✡️

Zoroastrianism worshipped Hashem BEFORE Abraham. Check ur facts first before spouting them.
