Jewish charm

[Bellringer]

Probably not the right word.
Does anyone know the name of the "charm" which Jewish people hang outside their door.

Mezuzah.

[Lonnie]

It a Mezuzah, it holds the prayer called the 'Shema', if you google that, you'll be able to see what it says,
Its also put on the door frames inside the house, except the toilet.

I don't have that much time to explain properly, but this link will.

I have them on my door frames.

Apologies naomi, I had to leave the comp for a few mins, but of course, your absolutely right.

[naomi24]

Sorry Lonnie, if I'd have known you were around I'd have left it to your far greater knowledge.
