Mezuzot
&Teffilin

ezuzot are individually hand-crafted by a specially trained
scribe. It takes several
hours to make a mezuzah that keeps to the hundreds of Halachot involved. Most Mezuzot
that are sold are unfortunately not kosher.
This is sad because it is a constant Mitzvah & it is so east to do. Not
only is it a Mitzvah , but a kosher Mezuzah protects
the family against harm. Many people had tragedies ,
and when they checked their mezuzot they found that
they weren’t kosher.

effilin are made in a process that takes several months to complete. Realistically -
it is not economically feasible to produce kosher teffilin
for under than $350.00. It is tragic that people go through the time &
effort of wearing teffilin to find out they lost out
on this special mitzvah
for so long simply because a minor repair was neglected. Only specially trained & qualified G-d fearing sofrim
[scribes] with many years of experience can properly “diagnose” these holy
articles.
v Mezuzot & Teffilin
should be checked right away to see if they are kosher to start out.
v Mezuzot must be re - checked twice
every seven years to make sure that stay kosher.
vGenerally teffilin called “p’shutot” [i.e. made out of several pieces of leather glued
together] or very small teffilin are not kosher.
vMezuzot less than 3 inches tall are usually not kosher.
v Every doorway in the house - even without an actual door needs a mezuzah
[except of course disrespectful places.]
