THE HISTORY OF MEZUZAH
The word "mezuzah" comes from the Hebrew for doorpost. It was Moses who commanded that the Word of G-d should be written on the doorposts of every Jewish house, to constantly remind them of His words. In later times, the Jews took this literally, and placed Scriptures on a small scroll made of parchment within a cylinder, affixing them to every doorpost of every room in their house.

CONTEMPORARY MEZUZOT - SATURN RANGE
Home > Modern Handcrafted Mezuzah > Saturn Mezuzah
This mezuzah was designed especially for the Spertus Museum Judaica Competition in Chicago. The piece reached the finals and was displayed in the museum. The main body of the mezuzah is made from lathe turned stainless steel - a pure rocket form symbolizing modernity. Encircling this are detachable discs of decreasing size inspired by the rings around the planet Saturn.

Laura's unique and original Rainbow Rings Saturn Mezuzah is made up of different colored discs made of anodized aluminum. The rocket seems to be flying unhindered by gravity, as the method of attaching the mezuzah to the doorpost appears to be the shadow cast by the mezuzah.

Upon the rings are written the following words from the Shema, (one of the 2 passages from the Torah written in the mezuzah) - “And thou shalt write them upon thy doorposts and upon thy gates”.
The letters on the discs are hand sawn using a tiny jewellers saw, this lengthy process reminiscent of the painstaking work of the Sofer Stam. In order to read the sentence it is necessary to rotate the rings, thus encouraging us to perform the mitzvah of touching the mezuzah and reminding us of the blessings and commandments inscribed inside.
