              The meaning of a mezuzah

Mezuzah, whose literal meaning in Hebrew is "doorpost," is  a  small scroll of parchment containing  selected  biblical  passages which  is traditionally affixed to the doorposts of the Jewish home. The custom is derived from the biblical commandment to "write them upon the doorposts of your house and in your gates" (Deut. 6:9, 11:20). contains the opening paragraph of the basic Jewish confession of faith, the Shema Israel. It includes the commandments to: love  God, study the Torah, read the Shema prayer  (Expressing the unity of God)  twice daily, wear Teffilin and affix a Mezuzah  on the doorposts.   

The mezuzah must be written by a qualified Scribe on parchment made from the skin of a clean animal. The scroll is rolled and placed into a case with a small opening  through which the word Shadai ("Almighty")  written on the back of the parchment, is visible. The mezuzah is attached to the upper part of the doorpost at the entrance of each room in a slanting  position.
