How to Hang a Mezuzah

 

Where Should I Hang it?

Affix a mezuzah on the doorway that leads to a proper room, except for the bathroom. They should be placed on the right side of the doorway, about one third of the way down. 

What is the blessing?

Baruch Atah A-do-nai Elo-heinu Melech Ha-olam asher kidshanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu likboa Mezuzah.

Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Who has made us holy with His commandments and commanded us to affix a mezuzah.

 

How do I Hang it?

Place the mezuzah scroll (klaf) inside the case. Remove tape backing and place the mezuzah shin side up on the top third of the doorframe. Press firmly for 5 seconds. You are all set!
