Just put this mezuzah up in my home and it looks radical (i don’t usually use that word).

You can only truly apreciate it once you put it up.

There are many beautiful mezuzah cases made from glass, sterling, metal, ceramics and more. At http://www.stam.net we do offer a few unique cases in addition to the much more important kosher mezuzah parchment!

Check out the exhibition “Re-inventing Ritual’ at the Jewish Museum NY oopening mid Sept. No shlock there ( unless it is ABOUT shlock.
Also- a few years back Allan Wexler created a series of 12 mezuzahs for 12 interior doorways of the Museum.

Nothing says “IDIOT LIVES HERE” like having a Libeskind-designed mezuzah on your door.

Mezuzah is one of the things that connects all Jewish people.

Libeskind is “one of the world’s better architects”? – Really?

It seems that you are mistaking undeserved publicity (mostly generated by Libeskind’s own office lackeys), for serious talent. Try naming one decent thing Libeskind did since the Holocaust Museum. Go on. Try. I dare you.

You came up with nothing. Right?

Did the mezuzah go way over budget? Does it leak? (How else can we be sure it really is a Libeskind design?)

I’d say Danny spent 10 minutes thinking about this design. I can’t help but think that’s more than he spends on most of his so-called designs for museums.

More dumb symbolism from Libeskind.

He should stick to designing tchotchke like this. That way he won’t be able to ruin our cities with his brand of pretentious architecture.

Let’s be frank here. It looks as dumb and as tacky as any other mezuzah. This one just has a particularly vain and tacky architect’s name attached to it. But it should be clear that there is no design merit whatsover to this ugly piece of scrap metal.
