Amazing Ideas for Presents for a Jewish Family Housewarming

 The journey to another life, another home and a new place marks the celebration of a housewarming. It requires the remarkable presence of God and good souls when you take the first step in your new home. The beautiful presence of a mezuzah covered in a glass mezuzah case can be a reminder that God resides in our hearts, and at the entrance of our houses.
