For centuries Jews have attached a mezuzah (“doorpost” in Hebrew) to the outside of their doors. Although intended as a means of protecting the household, the mezuzah isn’t an amulet or talisman. Instead, the mezuzah guards with a piece of parchment referred to as a klaf that’s stored inside its narrow, rectangular form. On the klaf are two paragraphs from the Torah that outline the basic beliefs of Judaism, including the prayer Shema Yisrael. The mezuzah can be placed on all living spaces—bedrooms, kitchens, and common rooms.

- Modernist Judaica design
Via Maris is modernist Judaica founded by Dana Hollar Schwartz with designer Jamie Wolfond. The New York brand started from a simple observation: it was nearly impossible to find Jewish objects designed in the Modernist tradition.
The name means "way of the sea," after an ancient trade route. The look applies Bauhaus principles to ritual objects, with clean forms and quiet color names like Cloud, Clay, Sand and Midnight. The range covers menorahs, mezuzahs, kiddush cups, seder plates and Shabbat and Chanukah candles. Via Maris gives 1% of annual sales to charity, and its kosher mezuzah scrolls are handmade in Israel by female soferot (scribes).
