So that both your mezuzah klafim and the way they are put up meet all Halachic requirements. So that you save time and the job gets done the right way!
According to the Shulchan Aruch Yore Deah 291, you should check every mezuzah you own once every 3.5 years (roughly). But performing the mitzvah of affixing mezuzos on your door posts perfectly according to halacha is often a challenging. You’ve got to make sure that both the parchment is kosher and that you’ve installed them in the right position on the door, facing the correct direction, and in all the required places. This is often not a small undertaking for the average person. Did you know that if a mezuzah is on the incorrect side of the door that the mitzvah is not being performed!
MezuzaDepot specializes in sales and service of tefillin and mezuzah. All checking is done by Rabbi Melech Michaels, our highly experienced and certified Sofer STaM. All new tefillin and mezuzos are checked and computer scanned before they are sold. You can choose between bringing your mezuzos into our state-of-the-art workshop or having Rabbi Michaels come to you for a more complete check which includes making sure every mezuzah is correctly placed.
Our customers love the convenience of mezuzah house-calls. Not only do you save the hassle of taking down your mezuzos , transporting them to our workshop, picking them up at the end of the day, and putting them back up, but you also get the added benefit of having Rabbi Michaels examine how and where you’ve affixed your mezuzos, so you can be sure you’re meeting every aspect of the mitzvah of mezuzos properly.
Why you’ll love our mezuzah checking service
- Mezuzah checking is performed by an experienced and certified sofer STaM, so you can be sure your mezuzos are meeting or exceeding every halachic requirement.
- Computer checking on request, so you can be sure your mezuzah klafim don’t have any missing, extra or wrong letters. I highly recommend computer checking of tefillin and mezuzos if it has never been done. If it has been done in the past, it is not necessary to repeat, but the mezuzos will still need to be checked regularly every 3.5 years by a certified sofer.
- All outdoor mezuzos are heat sealed in plastic tubing before being placed in their cases to ensure that they are fully waterproof and protected from the sun.
- We bring a full selection of new mezuzah klafim along on every mezuzah house call, so if any need to be replaced, we’ll have what you need on hand.
Why you’ll love our mezuzah check house-calls
- Save time — instead of taking down all your mezuzos, transporting them to and from our workshop, and then re-mounting them, our experienced sofer STaM will come to you and check all your mezuzos while you go about your day
- Verify more than just your mezuzah klafim — we don’t just check your mezuzos klafim, we check that they’re installed correctly according to Halacha and in a neat and secure fashion.
- Access advice from poskim — we maintain relationships with rabbis who are known to have expertise in halacha relating to tefillin and mezuzos. If a shaila needs to be asked about any aspect of your tefillin and mezuzos, we’ll be able to refer that question to an experienced rabbi.
We bring high quality and stylish mezuzah cases along on every job, so if you need replacements or upgrades, we’ve got you covered.
Thousands of house-calls in Rockland County and 1+ Million mezuzos checked
Unlike most mezuzah check services, house-calls are one of our specialties. So, we’ve developed a highly organized, systematic method of uninstalling, checking, and re-affixing mezuzos that enables us to efficiently confirm that your mezzuos are kosher.
Here’s how it works:
- We carefully remove all of your mezuzos, three or four at a time (that way, each mezuzah will be down for a short time only)
- We check each mezuzah for missing, broken or touching letters, letters written incorrectly, smudges, water and sun damage, and more, making any necessary repairs along the way (if repair isn’t possible, we stock quality replacement mezuzah klafim)
- If you so request, we also perform a detailed computer scan to ensure each mezuzah is texturally accurate (additional fees apply)
- We also check your mezuzah cases for damage to ensure your klafim can last as long as possible, and we bring a selection of indoor and outdoor cases should you need replacements
- For mezuzos that are subjected to rain or other forms of moisture, we heat-seal each klaf to ensure they’re protected from the elements
- For bedroom mezuzos, we carefully wrap them according to Halachah
- Once each batch of mezuzah has been checked (and repaired or replaced if necessary), we reinstall each klaf in its original location with screws, which are neater and more secure than nails, ensuring each is correctly oriented on its doorpost and that they’ll stay that way until they’re next checked
- Throughout this process, we check your entire premises to ensure you’ve got the correct number of mezuzos and that they are correctly installed
- In the event there’s a problematic doorway, we’ll take photos and consult with a Rav
