Animal Netsuke - Caught in Action
There are numerous Jewish homes that put a Mezuzah on every door both inside and on the outside entrances and exits, while some homes only display a Mezuzah on the outside entrances.
A Mezuzah has many defined steps that have to be followed as per the religious Jewish Laws on how to protect the 'Halacha', which is the Mezuzah scroll. There are Jewish Laws on how to position the Mezuzah, the doorways of where to locate the Mezuzah, and how often to check the Mezuzah. The silver Mezuzahs are purely hand-crafted oblong cases styled in many designs and Mezuzah covers do need special care.
There are other materials which are used to handcraft a Mezuzah besides silver.
A Mezuzah is a beautiful handmade silver Judaica object, which contains the written Jewish prayers by a scribe on a parchment in Hebrew. It is hung by a nail on the door post of Jewish homes as a constant reminder that God is in your thoughts at all times. The Mezuzah is a physical reminder to keep God in mind as you come and go to and from your blessed home. There are numerous Jewish homes that put a Mezuzah on every door both inside and on the outside entrances and exits, while some homes only display a Mezuzah on the outside entrances.
A Mezuzah has many defined steps that have to be followed as per the religious Jewish Laws on how to protect the 'Halacha', which is the Mezuzah scroll. There are Jewish Laws on how to position the Mezuzah, the doorways of where to locate the Mezuzah, and how often to check the Mezuzah. The religious Jewish Law states that the Mezuzah Scroll must have two covers, with one being the protective material of a wax paper or any type of greaseproof and waterproof paper. The second cover would be of round tube like casing made of silver for the rolled up scroll to be securely put into. The silver Mezuzahs are purely hand-crafted oblong cases styled in many designs and Mezuzah covers do need special care.
When using a Silver Mezuzah make sure that it is of the right size so that there is enough breathing room for the scroll, as not to damage it. The other concern is problems of oxidation of silver which may damage the inner scroll, if care is not taken. Make sure to polish your silver Mezuzahs often, but remove the scroll first.
There are other materials which are used to handcraft a Mezuzah besides silver. The main point of consideration before choosing the metal mezuzah is whether it are going to be placed outside or inside the home. When placing the Mezuzah outdoors the materials must be able to weather extreme climate appropriate. Materials such as silver, gold, stone, wood or any whitish tone of protection should be considered so as to deflect strong sun light, unlike darker colors or transparent materials. Moisture is also an important concern, if there is a lot of rain, moist humidity or condensation would start affecting the Mezuzah on the outside or the parchments inside.

Netsuke (Paperback) $26.57 "A novelist whose vocabulary sweats with a kind of lyrical heat."—The New York Times"Linguistically explosive. . . . Ducornet is one of the most interesting American writers around."—The NationUnrestrained by the ethics of his practice, a narcissistic psychoanalyst undertakes a series of licentious affairs with his patients as his method of treatment. Like the netsuke adorning his shelves, his patients become an addition to his cabinet of collectibles, and his life becomes consumed with juggling a roster of clients and sexual partners, all of whom must be concealed from his long-suffering artist wife. As the conflicted doctor has difficulty keeping his conquests to himself, he ultimately crumbles under the weight of his own warped eroticism and duplicity.As with her portrait of the Marquis de Sade in The Fan-maker`s Inquisition, Rikki Ducornet uses potent prose to tackle a controversial character in Netsuke. Fans of Chuck Palahniuk and Irvine Welsh will embrace Ducornet`s depiction of a troubled and disturbing character and exploration of the dark corners of humanity.The author of eight novels as well as collections of short fiction, essays, and poetry, Rikki Ducornet has twice been honored by the Lannan Foundation. Her fourth novel The Jade Cabinet was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, The Fan-maker`s Inquisition was named a Los Angeles Times Book of the Year, and the French translation of her novel Gazelle was honored with a Prix Guerlain. A visual artist who exhibits internationally, Ducornet makes her home in the Pacific Northwest. |
