Day 52 - Mezuzah: Faith and Conciliation

Here's my contribution to the many stories of how mezuzahs protect our homes. We just moved into a new home a few weeks ago. Although there were mezuzahs on our doors, we had to replace them. There was no urgency so I left it for a while. During that time my wife and I were occasionally woken up in the middle of the night by strange noises. At first we put it down to getting used to the new sounds of the house. But it was nerve-wracking. Finally last Friday I had Rabbi Wolf come in to put up new mezuzahs. As it turns out, we needed a number of mezuzahs in places where there hadn't been one before, one or two were on the wrong side of the door and one needed to be replaced. Needless to say, after we put up all 20 mezuzahs! we had no more problems with strange noises.
