We have been using Mezuzot for centuries, fulfilling a biblical commandment, of writing Godly words in our doorways – mentioned first in the Bible on Deuteronomy 11:20-21

“And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the earth.” 

 וּכְתַבְתָּם עַל-מְזוּזוֹת בֵּיתֶךָ, וּבִשְׁעָרֶיךָ. לְמַעַן יִרְבּוּ יְמֵיכֶם, וִימֵי בְנֵיכֶם, עַל הָאֲדָמָה, אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע יְהוָה לַאֲבֹתֵיכֶם לָתֵת לָהֶם–כִּימֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם, עַל-הָאָרֶץ

Kosher Scroll

People who obey Jewish religious law will insist on having only a kosher scroll without compromising. The text which it contains consists of two biblical verses from the book of Deuteronomy.

These verses are the Jewish prayer Shema Yisrael, beginning with the phrase: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord (is) our God, the Lord is One”. There are 713 letters in it all together, and each letter faces many restrictions concerning its configuration. In order for a mezuzah to be written in accordance with all the laws it must meet thousands of requirements.

The kosher scroll is a hand-written parchment done in graceful calligraphy and prepared from the skin of a kosher animal. First, an expert draftsman inscribes straight lines on the parchment, using an awl, to indicate to the scribe the boundaries of each letter. Only then it’s passed on to a specially trained scribe that carefully writes the words using a special black ink and quill pen. He concentrates intensely, as any mistakes or missing letters invalidates the entire parchment. Since all scribes are human beings, even the most experienced may sometimes lose concentration and make an error. Therefore, it is inspected by a second scribe before its approval. In the past decade or so they have also been scanned by a computer to make sure that they are absolutely flawless.

& its content

Introduction Video

The following principles have guided us in the process:

A. The content: Every word conforms to the basic ideas that guide us in our personal lives, and evenmore so here, at PraisetheWord. Any offensive words are out. We followed a specific rule that only content with positive values that are clear to us could be considered.

B. Translation: We made a very sincere effort to be as loyal and accurate in all translations. Meanwhile maintaining a balance between the theme, choice of words, structure, and tone. You can rest assured that what you read in English is translated most optimally and sensitively into Hebrew and vice versa. We PraisetheWord.

C. Grammar andvocabulary: Another key principle that guides us is to be true to the source as much as possible. If it were possible to see, hear or read Moses, Jesus, or the Buddha, we would do it! But unfortunately, we don’t possess the means. Hence, one of the interesting linguistic challenges we faced, clearly in the older scripts, was the attempt to present older English when we felt it was proper, and newer when we felt otherwise. Please bear in mind that we can follow and get Early Modern English, 1450–1690, but nothing that was written before. Consequently, at times we chose older English and sometimes new. Thus, archaic words or a grammatical structure that differs from what is accepted today may sometimes appear, knowing that today it would be considered incorrect. All the blessings you will find here have undergone many proofs, and specific decisions have been made concerning them. As mentioned, not easy at all.

D. Structure: In both Hebrew and English, we preferred that the layout of the words is in a square structure. The reason is visibility, we wanted as much resemblance as possible to the Kosher scroll, which is the source of the idea of PraisetheWord.

E. The additional information is intended to enrich us with enjoyable knowledge and to produce additional sources for connection to the content. All numbers and names we provided are correct after being fact-checked multiple times by our history lovers andour meticulous exports. At the same time, we do not take responsibility for their accuracy due to the simple reason that sometimes the information is missing or lacking, and sometimes it does not exist at all. In many cases, the long time that has passed since they were written, the lack of quality and reliable documentation, some different versions, a variety of language limitations, and other priestly reasons are among the causes of this. If anyone knows any detail to is different than the one published or can give us a more precise figure than the one shown, we would be most grateful for drawing our attention.

F. Copyright and Intellectual Property -We have rigidlyobserved the relevant international laws with the utmost appreciation for all writers, Praise the writers. Our legal team is guiding us closely on these matters that we value so.
