What could go wrong with a mezuzah?
Hilchos mezuzah are intricate and complex.
The Sofer
Is he a God-fearing Jew with proper knowledge of the nuanced, intricate halachos?
The Materials
Have kosher klaf (parchment) and ink been used?
The Checking
Has the finished mezuzah been checked by qualified magia (checker)?
Until Now, There Was No Process to Trust.
In today’s mezuzah market, demand is higher than supply, supply chains are non-transparent, and there’s no regulatory or quality assurance process.
This means a constant flood of mezuzahs that have not been written or checked K’Halacha are entering the market.

Hashem's protection for our homes
The mezuzah is more than the symbol of a faithful Jewish home. One of G-d’s names, ש-ד-י, is prominently inscribed upon the back of the scroll. This is an acronym for שומר דלתות ישראל, [Hashem is] the Guardian of the Doors of Israel.
Unlike human kings hidden away and guarded by servants, G-d Himself protects every Jewish home.
