Sorry
to give a serious response to a light-hearted item, but the mezuzah derives
from an attitude that is quite different from that which looks to magic charms
for protection.
The
source is Deuteronomy ch.6, which exhorts us to love God by doing "right
and good" things, and by keeping His commandments in mind. Verse 6 says
that they should be "in your heart" (Hebrew idiom for mind). Verse 7
says that they should be contemplated throughout the day and at bedtime, and
taught to children. Verse 8 says that they should be "upon your hand"
and "between your eyes", while verse 9 says to write them on your
house and gates.
Unfortunately
superstition led to literal, and ultimately magical interpretations of verses
8-9, resulting in the practice of actually wrapping one's head and arm in
leather strips to which Biblical writings are attached (tefillin), as well as
the mezuzah. Perhaps if they had been more adept at open-heart surgery they
could have done the same for verse 6. On the other hand, verses like Exodus
13:9, which also includes the hand-and-eyes language, tells us to keep the
words "in your mouth"; and no Jews, so far as I know, walk around
with a jaw full of Biblical pages.
By
the way the Karaites and Samaritans, two Jewish sects that reject the Talmudic
interpretations of the Bible, make a point of ridiculing the tefillin. They say
that the hand-and-eyes language is just telling us: read the book, dummy! (And
by the way, read the whole thing, not just some scraps that fit in a tiny box.)
What I'm saying is that if you read the text without being completely metaphor-blind, there's a pretty simple message: to think about and discuss moral issues, making them your top priority in life. Help the poor, love your neighbor, blah blah blah. It isn't rocket science, and neither is it magic.
