Want a Mezuzah for your dorm room? we'll bring it over and put it up with you.
Make Your Room a Jewish Home
A mezuzah on the doorpost turns a dorm room into a Jewish home. Inside its case is a small handwritten scroll containing the Shema — the same words Jews have fixed to their doorways for thousands of years. Chabad of Oberlin lends a mezuzah to any Jewish student who wants one, free for the school year, and we'll come by and help you put it up.
