The writing of the mezuzah is done by a scribe (Torah scrolls, tefillin and mezuzot), who writes the "Shema Yisrael" parshits.
and "And it was heard" in ink on kosher parchment. The parchment was then carefully examined to ensure that there were no errors or defects.

Installing the mezuzah

The mezuzah is installed on the right side of the door frame, in its upper third, at a slight inward angle:

• Blessing : Before setting up the mezuzah, one blesses, "Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to set up a mezuzah."
• Installation : The mezuzah should be placed vertically or at a 45-degree angle toward the interior of the house, according to local tradition.

Mezuzah maintenance

The commandment of inspecting the mezuzahs every 3-7 years is practiced to ensure that the parchment is kept in good condition and that the writing is not damaged.
In public places or humid areas, it is recommended to check the mezuzahs more frequently.
