Picture of the Day: World’s Largest Mezuzah
Shturem
The world’s largest Mezuzah has been affixed to a passageway near the Western Wall in Jerusalem by Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitz, Rav of the Kotel, and Mr. Shmuel Flatto-Sharon, the Mezuzah’s sponsor.
The Mezuzah case is made entirely of bronze and weights 88 pounds; it is about 4.5 feet tall and a little less than a foot wide. The parchment scroll is about 2 feet by 2 feet, and was written with a quill by the veteran scribe Rabbi Zalman Michaelshvili.
Does size matter?
Do we say – the bigger the better?

#3, The one at NTBG is about 40×40 cm. This one seems to be something like 60×60.
But the world record is held by a mezuzah Avraham-Hersh Borshevsky wrote 8 years ago that’s 94×76 cm.

Who cares? It still looks too high for many people to touch & kiss ( all those germs for the phobic amongst us)
