World?s Largest Mezuzah Affixed at Kosel Entrance
(Tuesday, August 28th, 2012)
What is being described as ?the world?s largest mezuzah? was affixed at the upper entrance to the Kosel Plaza by Kosel Rav Shmuel Rabinowitz and Mr. Flatto Sharon. It is one of 3 mezuzos designed by famed artist Salvador Dali.
Rav Rabinowitz explains that in addition to the obligation to affix a mezuzah on the gate leading to the Kosel, this special large mezuzah will also remind visitors of the need to accept the Yolk of Torah and Mitzvos.
Sharon cited the significance of the Kosel, which brings millions of visitors annually, adding ?I hope with all my heart that the world?s largest mezuzah will bring a ??? ???? for us all?.
The bronze mezuzah case is 1.4 meters long, 25 centimeters wide, and weighs an amazing 40kg. The actual klaf is 60 centimeters long, written by Rav Zalman Michshevili (????????) and it was checked by the Kosel Sofer Rav Yisrael Gotleib.
