 Affixing a Mezuzah
Please note that this page contain the name of G-d.
If you print it out, please treat it with appropriate respect.

If you do not have experience reading transliteration
please see the Guide to Transliteration.

Before affixing the mezuzah to the doorpost,
the following blessing should be recited:

Barukh atah Hashem, Eloheinu, melekh ha'olam
Blessed are you, Lord, our G-d, sovereign of the universe

(http://www.jewfaq.org/prayer/likboa.gif)  (http://www.jewfaq.org/prayer/asher_kid.gif)
asher kidishanu b'mitz'votav v'tzivanu lik'bo'a m'zuzah
Who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to affix a mezuzah

The mezuzah should then be affixed to the upper third of the doorpost on the right side as one enters the house or room. If the doorpost is wide enough to permit, the mezuzah should be tilted with the upper part slanting inward toward the house or room.
