JEWISH TELEGRAPH ONLINE - Letters to the Editor

No mezzuzot

I CAN sympathise with last week's correspondent from Prestwich. My wife and I couldn't afford to rent or purchase our own property after we married and for a number of years lived with a relative.

Last month, we purchased our first home and have found that after furnishing the property and completing essential repairs, we are unable to afford mezzuzot.

We try our best and always purchase kosher meat products, although we limit eating meat to twice a week due to the outrageous cost.

I've previously seen the adverts in the Jewish Telegraph for Chabad's mezzuzah service, but my wife is worried about requesting their help.

She thinks that not only will they assist with mezzuzot but also try to influence our lifestyle.

Mark J,
Prestwich,
