Yarn Wrapping Mezuzah Holder
Create a functional mezuzah cover to hang on your doorpost. In Parshas Vaeschanan, Hashem commanded Bnei Yisrael to put a mezuzah on each doorpost as a reminder of Hashem’s protection. A mezuzah is a piece of klaf (parchment) with the Shema inscribed on it, and it is typically placed inside a cover so it will not get damaged. As the students wrap the yarn around the mezuzah holder, they will be able to visualize being wrapped in Hashem’s protection.
