where can i buy a mezzuzah sans rebbe moishe? — Brooklynian

where can i buy a mezzuzah sans rebbe moishe?

i went to the hassidic section of crown heights in search of a mezzuzah, around kingston south of eastern parkway but all the judaica stores had rebbe moishe's face emblazoned on them.

any ideas on where i can get a nice one? i like simple and antique but not too modern or extravagant.

thanks!

  • Do you have to stay in CH? I know there are some large Judaica stores on CIA in the early letter avenues.
  • You could try Eichler's - it's an enormous Judaica store with really lovely things, including lots of styles of mezzuzah's. There's one in Borough Park on 13th Avenue in the 50's and one on CIA between Avenues J & K.
  • There's also a ton of Judaica stores near Herald Square and at least one in Midtown:

  • Thanks for all the suggestions! I remember seeing those places in midtown. Actually, it might be fun to venture into Borough Park since I am less familiar and explore the neighborhood on my muzzuzah (sp?) hunting adventure...
  • brooklyn leather, the curated "gifted" market, across from the flea for the four weekends in december, has a designer called "pop-judaica",,, don't know what the stuff is like, don't know which weekends they are going to be there. you can likely find out a whole lot more on brownstoner, but it should be a good market (and i'm not just saying that because i'm going to be selling there on dec 21...)

  • If you're talking about the Judaica store on Kingston, that is RIGHT next to the World Lubavitch Headquarters, and I think the store is even run by the Lubavitchers, which would explain all the Rebbe Schneerson memorabilia. Anyway, thanks for the heads-up. I need a mezzuzah myself, but never bothered to go across the street and get one.

    And now I know I needn't have bothered anyway.

    I would tell you that it is sad and tastless to see you making an obscene gesture.

    I am sure that your mom would be so proud.

    That answer your question?

    and your point of this was what, to insult me? did i do anything to you to warrant that? (and my mom was sitting right next to me--you can't see her in the pic--laughing her head off. the blurred out person on my left was my father; he was 41 and had just had a catastrophic brain aneurysm and was there in broken body, only. it was pretty much the first time anyone had laughed in months. feel better now?)
