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”.
