Last week, everyone at the GatherDC townhouse (and some virtual friends!) had an awesome chance to learn and chat together as we hung a mezuzah on each of the building’s entrances. Taken from the Hebrew word for “doorpost,” mezuzahs serve dual purposes, reminding us of the meaning we draw from our Jewishness while also showing the world “outside” our doorsteps that the people inside value and take pride in Jewish culture, history, and beliefs. Judaism doesn’t show up in everyone’s lives in the exact same way — but mezuzahs can serve as a meaningful reminder of all the ways we can engage with it in the various spaces where Jews gather!
