Artist's statement: "Upon the rings of this mezuzah are written the following words from the Shema (one of the 2 passages from the Torah written in the mezuzah) - "And thou shalt write them upon thy doorposts and upon thy gates." The letters on the discs are hand-sawn using a tiny jeweler's saw, this lengthy process reminescent of the painstaking work of the Sofer Stam. To read the sentence, it is necessary to rotate the rings, thus encouraging us to perform the mitzvah of touching the mezuzah and reminding us of the blessings and commandments inscribed inside."Made/Created
