A Jewish family in Houston, Texas found this on their door.  Somebody took the mezuzah off the door, took out the scroll inside, drew a swastika on it and left it on the door.   0404

I can’t even explain to gentiles how abhorrent this particular act is.

for my non-jewish followers: the mezuzah contains a parchment with the most sacred text in jewish culture. this text is so sacred that it’s meant to be buried in a special ceremony if it needs to be discarded for some reason.

this is horrifying.

There’s also a longstanding tradition that the mezuzah, which is meant to be fixed to the doorpost of every dwelling, is a symbol of God’s protection.  Some take that further and consider it to act as a protective talisman of sorts.

Which means that in addition to this being a deliberate act of desecration, it’s also a pointed statement of you are not safe.
