ments and hast commanded US to fasten tho
mezuzah"
Inquiring further, the reporter learned that
the tin case contained rectangular piece OF
parchment, which was carefully rolled up to fit
it. On the parchment are written passages from
Deuteronomy vi, 40 and XII, 1921 Both selections
must be used, and if one letter is missing the
mezuzah is worthless. The passages are usually
written in twenty-five lines, equally spaced. On
the back of the parchment, so written that it
will fall behind an opening in the case is the
name of God in Hebraio characters
All over the East Side, wherever dwells an
Orthodox Jew, one finds the mezuzah carefully
tackled to the doorpost. Most of them are
simply plain tin cases costing few cents like
the one the Tribune man saw placed in Sheriff
St AS a Jew of the faith enters or leaves his
dwelling he touches his hands to his lips ana
then to the mezuzah. AS he does so he prays:
May God keep my going out and my coming
is from now on and evermore.'
There are other prayers for special occasions.
If he sets out on a business expedition he prays
for great success and caresses the mezuzah with
out fail.
Some of the mezuzahs one finds the East
Side are of glass. Others. more elaborate and
expensive, are of carved wood. Still others
nicely turned. with knobs at either end. Great
care is taken that unclean hands shall never
touch them. They are not allowed to fall into
the hands of non-Jews, if that can be prevented
for fear they will be mistreated
According to a rabbi with whom The Tribune
reporter talked the obligation is derived from
the Biblical passage: And thou shalt write
them the doorposts of thy house and within
thy gates" The custom has been known since
the time of JoSephus. and at time the
mezuzah was supposed to be powerful factor
in warding off evil spirits. In the Middle Ages
the practice of writing the of certain
favored angels. in addition to the passages. crept
in. Maimonides the great Jewish teacher, put a
stop TO the innovation after vigorous cam
paign in which he preached that those who
lived in houses so branded would have no share
in the future world.
The practice is a close kin to the Mahometan
one of writing the name of God above the doors
and windows of their dwellings and shops In
deed for time both Mahometans and Egyp-
tians used these cases. the Mahometans put
ting within passages from the Koran short in
vocations and professions of faith.
In New-YoFk the Italians have Il fashion OF
putting image Of their patron saints I'm their
doorways. Other Catholics on going into new
dwelling sprinkle the rooms with holy water, in
order that their residence there may be blessed.
