What is written inside the mezuzah?
The passages: Shema Yisrael and V'haya
Source: Devarim 6:4-9, 11:13-21
In detail
Inside the mezuzah case is a parchment scroll containing two Torah passages: Shema Yisrael (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) and V'haya (Deuteronomy 11:13-21). These passages declare God's unity, the love of God, and the commitment to teach Torah to future generations. The scroll must be hand-written by a qualified scribe (sofer) using special ink on kosher parchment.
