NAIL MEZUZAH
The fixing of a mezuzah on a Jewish home is the final step in building a home and marks ownership.
The concept for this mezuzah came while drinking coffee with a Palestinian contractor on the scaffolds on my home. ”You Jews will never cease to see us as enemies until you finish building your country” said Jabr amid the clamor of hammers and saws. ”This is why it is important for me to help you build your homes”.
