Quite a while ago I noticed a spot on the Monroe side doorway of Brinkley Plaza where a mezuzah case (example photo above) had once been. It seems Brinkely Plaza, located at Main and Monroe was the original site of the Peabody Hotel and also housed a Lowenstein's Department Store at a point in time. Maybe that's when the mezuzah case was attached. Anyway, a mezuzah is a piece of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah put inside a case which is then affixed to the doorway of a Jewish home (or business?).

Hello I am here....back.
Mezuzah is in front of any door where you live (or work). You see plenty of them everywhere in Israel. It is supposed to protect the person who stays there from bad ...Fatum (!) I was once told that the verses are all.....hand written. I don't know if this is true or not ?
I was also told that given the number of doors where you place these Mezuzah(s), the providers (which are apparently limited) actually earn lot of money.
