The origin of the Mezuzha :

The origin for the mitzvah of Mezuzah is from Devarim-Deuteronomy 6:9 “Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates”. The meaning of this commandment is that every Jew needs to place a Mezuzah on every doorstep in their home except for bathrooms. The importance of Mezzuzah: In the Jewish tradition the Mezuzah guards the home and the people that live in it. It is accustomed that if there is a problem in the house there is a need to check the Mezzuzah to see if they are not defected. According to the Halacha there is a need to check the Mezuza twice every seven years; This is the reason why it is important to buy Mezzuza parchments that have gone through a Magi (a person that checks the parchment for errors). A parchment that went through a Magi is marked as Muge in Hebrew. The Mezuza is written over 22 lines and has two Parshiot written on it: Shma Israel and Ve-Haya im Shamoa tishmeu.
