Later Sages


“The name Shad-dai on your door greets the whole of your household; it consecrates your home, making it into a tent of Abraham, which requires G‑d as its sole protector...”

“If people knew the advantages of having a mezuzah on the door, they would not transgress this commandment; for I am convinced that no demon can harm a house properly provided with mezuzoth.”
