Mezuzah house calls

Is your Mezuzah a blessing? If it's an "original" hand written Mezuzah on scared parchment, if it's written in Torah script by an ordained and dedicated scribe, then it identifies, sanctifies and protects your home with its blessing. But, if you are not sure, or your Mezuzah has been up for more than 7 years, which according to Jewish Law, it should be inspected to ensure that the ink has not faded and that parchment is still intact. Call us at 444-6770 and we will be happy to come to your home, free of charge, and inspect your Mezuzah. If you are moving into a new home, apartment, or office, we will help you make the proper blessings and put up the Mezuzah correctly.

Hospital Visitations

On a weekly basis, Rabbi Labkowski visits Jewish patients, whether affiliated or not, at the local hospitals, to recite a prayer, get the Hebrew name for the "Mi-Sheberach" to be recited in the synagogue, and offer any other assistance that might be needed.
