Modern Israeli Mezuzah Case by Dan Givon

Modern  Mezuzah case by Dan Givon, Jerusalem, Israel, 1983.
The Bezalel Academy of Art has awarded the Raphael Prize for Design to this Mezuzah by Dan Givon. This unique shape allows us to actually see and read the beautiful prayer that is hidden away in the conventional Mezuzah. As in all of Dan Givon's Judaica, this piece is Kosher, complying with all of the rules of Jewish law and comes with the highest quality hand inscribed Parchment Scroll. This Mezuzah was chosen to be presented to the Pope by the Jewish community in New York.
