- Mezuzah (Heb. literally "doorpost") refers to one of the 613 commandments in Judaism which requires that a small parchment (klaf) inscribed with two sections from the Torah's Book of Deuteronomy (6:4-9 and 11:13-21) be affixed to each doorpost and gate in a Jewish home and business. A small case or box typically covers the parchment.

- Notes
- Tefillin are two small parchment-filled boxes with straps attached to them. Jewish men are required to place one box on their head and tie the other one on their arm each weekday morning during prayer. Tefillin are biblical in origin and are commanded within the context of several laws outlining a Jew's relationship to God: see Deuteronomy 6:5-8. The text that is inserted inside the two boxes of Tefillin is handwritten by a scribe and consists of the four sets of Biblical verses in which Tefillin are commanded (Exodus 13:1-10, 11-16; Deuteronomy 6:4 -9, 11:13-21). Putting on Tefillin is the first mitzvah (commandment) assumed by a Jewish male upon his Bar Mitzvah. The wearing of Tefillin is optional for women.
