WIKIPEDIA: A Mezuzah comprises a piece of parchment called a klaf contained in a decorative case and inscribed with specific Hebrew verses from the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21). These verses consist of the Jewish prayer Shema Yisrael, beginning with the phrase: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord (is) our God, the Lord is One'. In mainstream Rabbinic Judaism, a Mezuzah is affixed to the doorpost of Jewish homes to fulfill the mitzvah (Biblical commandment) to 'write the words of God on the gates and doorposts of your house' (Deuteronomy 6:9). Some interpret Jewish law to require a Mezuzah in every doorway in the home except bathrooms (which is not a living space), laundry rooms and closets, if they are too small to qualify as rooms.
