Some time later, the professor again visited the student, for a class gathering. But when she approached the apartment, she did not see the mezuzah

I just had put up my myzuzah when I read this story. I have been reluctant to put it up, as I am concerned it might target me for mischief makers in the neighborhood. This story moved me greatly. Thanks.

I can relate. When I moved into my own appartment, I was proud to buy my own Mezuzah. But when it came time to hang it up, I was suddenly nervious. I hung it up any ways, because I knew it was right. I am glad i did!!!!!!

When I lived in Florida we were preparing for one of those terrible named storms. All my neighbors were boarding up their homes. I sat our on my front lawn doing nothing. They all came over to me and asked if I needed help to board up my home and I said my home is protected by the greatest power in the universe and I had nothing to worry about. After the storm as my neighbors were assessing their damage they noticed my home was untouched. They were amazed. They asked how I did that that. I explained the mitzvah of the mezuzah and how it protects the house. I lived in that house for 20 years from 1985 till 2005 and never had a scratch on it.

This is the first week of doing business in our new location. I think there's like 5 Jews in our town. I have hesitated to put up a mezuzah on our front door because of business relationships with lovely people, who some happen to be anti-semitic. I have a special mezuzah given to me by my Hebrew teacher on my Bat Mitzvah (at age 50!) and decided to put it on MY office door...and was even thinking of putting it INSIDE my office door, so as not to disturb my Christain employees.
I was reading the Chabad page for this week's Parshah which reminds us of the Big Ten, the Shema, tefillin and mezuzot. I clicked on the word 'mezuzot', thinking it would link me to the prayer (it's been a few years since I needed to post one of these, and I want to do it properly). Instead, I find this story. WOW. I am inspired. My special mezuzah is going in it's correct location on my office door. We'll buy a new one for the front door.
