Mezuzah in the United States. Since when was the obligation to determine the mezuzah in the houses of Israel in the ancient era, since archeology does not support this at all. Perhaps the answer to this will be found in a later era, only from the eighth century AD during the Genius period, when evidence of mezuzah card writing was found. It seems that the matter arose somewhere after the destruction of the Second Temple, when the leaders from the time of Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai onward sought various factors for the public's sense of security in Judea, and perhaps sought to accustom the Jewish public to the situation of not having a temple.
