The mezuzah, to me, is a very powerful symbol. Yes, they famously serve as a reminder for shalom bayis, peace in the home, but that is not what I think about when I see them. The mezuzah sits in the doorpost, the interval between spaces. Whenever I travel from room to room or place to place, I am forced to briefly pause and acknowledge the mezuzah. It silently asks me to reflect on where I have come from, to recognize where I am going, and to remember that Hashem guides me in my path. “Hashem is My God, Hashem is One. Now I can continue with that knowledge in mind as I make my next decision.” I must not take my actions for granted, but understand that Hashem is with me every step of the way. That is what I learn from the mezuzah, and I hope never to forget its lesson.

I have just been making posts like crazy. Recently I’ve been thinking about affixing a mezuzah to my door when I move to different places. I feel that Christians sometimes move past their roots and forget Jesus himself was a devout Jewish man, and I find it to be very important to study and understand Judaism to further your knowledge and understanding of Christianity. I am happy to attend Shabbat, and intent to practice Passover especially. I have the utmost respect for the Jewish faith and people, and am always eager to learn more about it and the culture. Does anyone think that, as a Christian, me affixing a mezuzah would offend any Jewish visitors? 

I would, though, not use a mezuzah with scripture written by the scribes, because I feel like that is a Jewish holy object, and I would gladly have it in my house, but I feel like it may be offensive to keep a Jewish holy object and use it as a Christian- maybe not- but I’d prefer to not offend anyone. So I’d probably hand write my own Deuteronomy scripture. I would also keep a cross at each door post, including the one with the mezuzah to not cause any misinterpretation or misguide anyone.
