  • No comments

Mezuzah in the United States. When did the obligation to affix the mezuzah to Israelite homes come into effect in ancient times, since archaeology does not support this at all. Perhaps the answer to this will be found in a later era, only from the eighth century CE during the period of genius, when evidence of writing mezuzah cards was found. It is believed that the matter arose somewhere after the destruction of the Second Temple, when the leaders from the time of Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai onwards sought various factors to increase the public's sense of security in Judah, and perhaps they sought to accustom the Jewish public to the situation of the absence of a temple.

Who moved the mezuzah and when did it become holy?
