The commandment to place mezuzot on the doorposts of our houses is derived
from Deut. 6:4-9, a passage commonly known as the Shema
(Hear, from the first word of the passage). In that passage, G-d commands us
to keep His words constantly in our minds and in our hearts, by (among other
things) writing them on the doorposts of our house. The words of the Shema
are written on a tiny scroll of parchment, along with the words of a
companion passage, Deut. 11:13-21. On the back of the scroll, a name
of G-d is written. The scroll is then rolled up placed in the case, so
that the first letter of the Name (the letter Shin)
is visible (or, more commonly, the letter Shin is written on the outside of
the case). |

The Torah commands us to
wear tzitzit (fringes) at the corners of our garments as a reminder of the
commandments. Num. 15:37-41. This commandment only applies to four-cornered
garments, which were common in biblical times but are not common anymore.
Observant Jewish men commonly wear a special four-cornered garment, similar
to a poncho, called a tallit katan, so that they will have the opportunity
to fulfill this important commandment. The tallit katan is worn under the
shirt, with the tzitzit hanging out so they can be seen. A four-cornered
shawl called a tallit is worn by adult men during morning services,
along with the tefillin. There is a complex procedure for tying the knots of
the tzitzit, filled with religious and numerological significance. |

Shavuot
is also known as Zeman Matan Toratenu, the Season of the Giving of
Our Law, which commemorates the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mount
Sinai. After Moses and the Israelites fled the slavery of Egypt, they wandered the desert. G-d provided the travelers with food to eat (manna) and water to drink. After long months Moses brought his followers to the foot of a mountain called Sinai. Though the desert was dry and bare, the mountain was lush and green, covered with grass, flowers and trees. Moses and the Israelites set up camp at the base of the mountain. |
