Because Mezuzahs must be made according to very exact laws and specifications, only an expert can determine if a Mezuzah is kosher. Some basics: The Mezuzah must be hand-written by a competent scribe on specially prepared parchment with the specific types of quill and ink mandated by tradition. A Mezuzah should be examined by a reliable scribe, at least twice every seven years - once every three and a half years. It is even a custom to get one's mezuzahs checked before every Rosh Hashana. Temperature and weather changes, as well as age, may cause the ink to fade and crack, thereby invalidating the Mezuzah. Fill out the form below and a representative of Chabad will make a free house call and visit your home to check your Mezuzot. If it is a more complicated scroll question, we can send them to a Sofer – a Scribe- who can do a thorough professional letter checking (the scribe charges a small fee of $8-10 per scroll). After he has scrupulously checked them, we shall return them to your home, and re-affix them to their original place. Alternatively, you can bring them to Chabad PIttsford or Kessler Family Chabad Center and we can bring them to the scribe.
