Mezuzah - A Comprehensive Guide is a veritable gold mine of informatoin for the study of the laws of Mezuzah. Rabbi Yair Hoffman has managed to present the most complex halachic issuses in a clear and lucid manner. The book's comprehensive approach covers the full gamut of all that is related to Mezuzah - philosophical motifs and implications, types of parchment, method of writing, the wheres, whens and hows of its affixing, what invalidates a letter and a myriad of other issues and questions. A number of new halchic issues have been explored and presented to the leading Torah scholars of our generation for clarifications as well. The work is a fascinating read. It is an indispensable resource for both the layman as well as the accomplished Torah scholar. It is a must have for all Jewish homes and synagogues.

Both a guide and in in-depth exploration,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mezuzah A Comprehensive Guide (Hardcover)
This book is unique in that it can be understood by the layman as well the advanced scholar. It will tell you about where to hang the Mezuzah as how to check it. It also will tell you the latest developments in the world of Jewish calligraphy. The footnotes are written in English but allow one to plummet the depths of talmudic law and the responsa. All in all an excellent book!
