Eikev Weekly Portion, Mitzvah of Mezuzah, עקב-מזוזה Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz, 5786 לקו״ש חי״ט ה׳

What if the mezuzah on your door is doing far more than marking a Jewish home? In “Eikev Weekly Portion, Mitzvah of Mezuzah, עקב-מזוזה,” Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz explores a powerful teaching from Likutei Sichos, Volume 19, Eikev 5 (5786, לקו״ש חי״ט ה׳). The Torah links mezuzah with long life and Divine care. But Rebbe Schneerson asks a deeper question: Is that care only a reward for the mitzvah—or is protection part of the mitzvah itself? Do not skip this key point. It can change how you see every doorway, every room, and the spiritual life of your home. Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz makes this deep Torah study clear, warm, and useful. You will learn why the Torah says to place G-d’s words on the doorposts of your home and gates. You will also see why a mezuzah is not just a case, sign, or custom. It holds sacred Hebrew words from the Shema and calls the Jewish home to faith, Torah, Jewish prayer, and mitzvos. This lesson welcomes every learner. If you want an introduction to Torah, study Tanya for beginners, or start weekly Torah study, Rabbi Steinmetz will guide you in simple steps. If you already study the weekly parsha, Tanya study, Talmud, Chassidus, or Likutei Sichos, this class wil
