Scroll Mezuzah
Jewish Baby GiftsThe present of a new life is a particular gift to any family no matter what the religious beliefs, but it is always nice to give something that ties in with the beliefs of the family and carries on the traditions in which the child will be brought up. Traditionally, having children is seen as a religious obligation as well as a joyful experience so it is a time of celebration as well as prayer. There are a great deal of traditonal Jewish baby gifts that are given to Jewish babies and include Hamsas, Mezuzahs, dreidels, lilah tov lights, kiddush cups and tzedakah boxes. I will be talking about the significance of each of these in the following paragraphs. Hamsa is a symbol that is used in the Jewish culture and is ordinarily in the shape of a hand. The hand is commonly depicted with the five fingers outstretched, but may also be seen with the forefinger and the third finger together and the ring finger and the little finger together to form the Hebrew letter "shin" and depict the same position of the Cohen's fingers when he is benediction the congregation. According to Jewish legend, the Hamsa is the Hand of Miriam, the sister of Moses. It is also referred to as the Hand of God. It is thought to possess magical powers of protection, pleasure and prosperity. Hamsa pacifier holders make terrifi baby gifts. On the doorpost of most Jewish homes you will see a Mezuzah. This is a little container that commonly holds a parchment scroll that is handwritten with the words of the Shema on one side and a name of God on the back. Upon entering the home the mezuzah is touched and the fingers that touched it are kissed to remind us that we ought to always follow God's commandments. A popular Jewish baby gift is a Noah's Ark or other soft toy with a Mezuzah on it. Tzedakah boxes are a popular gift for babies. Tzedakah means charity or justice. It is treating others the way that you would want to be treated. The tzedakah box normally ehibits the eight dissimilar levels of charity; giving, but not being happy with regards to it, giving less than you should, giving only when asked, giving directly to the poor so that both know each other, giving with the poor knowing who gave the gift but the giver does not recognise who receives it, giving so that the giver knows but the recipient does not, giving anonymously to a tzedakah fund and, last, giving to aid keep another person from getting poor by contributing to their education or instructing them a trade. Kiddush is a prayer of thanksgiving and reminds all to keep the Sabbath day. This is a conventional prayer and is done with wine and bread to give thanks to God for all of his blessings. Lilah Tov means good night and a great deal of frequent baby gifts are imprinted with the words. Night lights are exceedingly frequent as well as blankets and night gowns. These items are very general with persons searching for Jewish baby gifts. The dreidel is a general toy for girls and boys. It is commonly played with at Hanukkah. It has hebrew letters on each side (nun, gimel, hei and shin) which put together are the acronym for Nes Gadol Haya Sham meaning "a outstanding miracle happened there".

Where may i buy a Mezuzah (jewish boxed scroll) for my home in the Hertfordshire and surrounding areas? If you are looking for a mezuzah case, by all means, use Ebay or Froogle to search for a pretty one for yourself. However, if you are looking for the scroll to go inside the case, please do not use any person unless you know them to be reputable. It is very easy for deceitful (or well-meaning, but naive) vendors to trade you a scroll that is not kosher, b/c the imperfections which would render a scroll non-kosher may be very minuscule. I would commend these sellers, unless you recognise of a local sofer in your area that may trade you one directly. Often times, your local Chabad may secure one for you.
