Hoshen Pewter Mezuzah

Modeled after one of the most meaningful symbols from the Beit HaMikdash, the Hoshen mezuzah case brings color, history, and Jewish identity to the doorway. As a mezuzah cover, it combines silver pewter with green enamel detail in a slim, elegant design inspired by the High Priest’s breastplate.

The Hoshen (חֹשֶׁן, breastplate) was worn by the Kohen Gadol, the High Priest, and was set with precious stones representing the Twelve Tribes of Israel. That symbolism gives this mezuzah holder a deeper story of unity, blessing, and the Jewish people carried close to the heart. For shoppers drawn to meaningful Israeli Judaica, it belongs naturally with our Israeli mezuzah cases.

Made in Israel from pewter and hand painted with enamel, this design has a polished and traditional feel without being overly large. The green accent gives it character, while the slim silver body keeps the case practical for interior doorways, bedrooms, studies, and offices.

Hoshen Mezuzah Scroll Guidance

This mezuzah case is designed to hold a 4-inch kosher mezuzah scroll. The Hoshen theme gives the case its symbolic beauty, but the mitzvah (מִצְוָה, commandment) depends on the kosher klaf (קְלָף, parchment) placed inside.

If you need a scroll as well, you can choose the Basic Kosher Scroll. If you choose this option, we can ship your mezuzah with the scroll carefully rolled and inserted inside the case.

When this mezuzah is shipped with a scroll already inserted, we seal the back with double-sided tape to help create an airtight seal, making the case usable on exterior doorways when properly sealed. Customers comparing scrolls can browse our kosher mezuzah scrolls.

For customers who want to learn who writes a kosher scroll, our guide to the sofer STaM explains the work of the Jewish scribe who writes mezuzah scrolls according to halacha (הֲלָכָה, Jewish law).
