Modern Image Mezuzah
Laura's modern Image Mezuzot make an ideal gift for a Jewish house warming present or Jewish wedding.
"Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the Universe, Who sanctified us with His mitzvot, and commanded us to affix a mezuzah."

Why aren't mezuzot hung straight? Why do we hang the mezuzah at an angle?
One of the most famous French rabbis of the twelfth century was Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac, also known as Rashi.
His grandson, Rabbenu Tam, felt that mezuzot should be affixed horizontally for the sake of tradition, because the scrolls in their leather cases were originally pushed horizontally into the crevices between the stones around the doorways of homes.
Rashi argued that mezuzot should be affixed vertically, in such a way that the top pointed toward the Almighty.
They eventually compromised, and agreed that a mezuzah should be hung on the diagonal, with its top inclined toward the inside. The decision, allowing peace to rein in a Jewish home in twelfth century France, is part of the message of the mezuzah.
