Be in love (Richard Rohr)

.  There is no secret moral command for knowing or pleasing God, or what some call salvation, beyond becoming a loving person in mind, heart, body, and soul. Then you will see what you need to see. Jesus did not say, Be right. Jesus said, Be in love.

A mezuzah is a piece of parchment contained in a decorative case and inscribed with the Shema Yisrael:  You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole being, and with your whole strength (Deuteronomy 6:5). Jewish families affix the mezuzah to the doorpost of their homes to fulfill the injunction in Deuteronomy 6:9 : Write the words of God on the gates and doorposts of your house. When passing through the doorway, many people touch a finger to the mezuzah as a way of showing respect and love for God. Many people also kiss their finger after touching it to the mezuzah. https://shofarsfromafar.com/product/2077/
