Free Printable Mezuzah Scroll
What is a mezuzah scroll?
This is the scroll that is put inside the mezuzah cases. It contains the Jewish prayer, the Shema, beginning with the phrase: "Listen, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One." Mezuzah cases are placed on entry doors to fulfill the Biblical commandment to proclaim the Shema "on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."
What makes a mezuzah scroll kosher?
It is traditionally believed that the Mezuzah scroll protects the household members physically and spiritually. It is the scroll, not the case, that is the essential holy part. Therefore, it should be clearly handwritten by a professional Israeli scribe (called a Sofer Stam in Hebrew) on a Kosher animal parchment. All these criteria make the scroll kosher.

I want to thank you for allowing me to print this lovely Shema scroll. I purchased one along with a Mezuzah box for a friend and cannot find it. This will suffice until I can find the original Kosher scroll. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for providing a printable beautiful collagraphy mezuzah scroll. It will be a blessing for our home.
