The distinctive angular shape of this Mezuzah from Shraga Landesman makes a proud statement of taste and style. Along the sides is written in Hebrew the Biblical words “How wonderful are your tents Yaakov, your dwelling places Israel!” – a moving tribute to the strength of the Jewish home. A small 7-branch Menorah design at the base adds symbolism.

These words were uttered by the wicked Bilaam. Instead of cursing the Jews as he planned, he found himself praising how their tents were arranged so that no-one could see inside anyone else’s home.
