Mezuzah fountain pen - Italian production

Jewish Pen by Urso with Star of David.

The Urso brand was founded in 1985. For nearly 30 years, it has been one of the leading manufacturers producing exclusive writing instruments worldwide.

The pen we present to you is from the Mezuzah collection.  What does the collection name mean?

The clip of this extraordinary pen is a replica of a mezuzah. Mezuzah (Hebrew מזוזה, doorpost, doorframe) – in Judaism, a small container made of wood, metal, or glass, holding a rolled parchment with two passages from the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Deuteronomy 11:13-21). The parchment is rolled from the left side so that the text can be read immediately when unrolled. The rolled parchment is marked with letters to indicate the top and bottom. It often also contains the word Shaddai (Hebrew for Almighty). This text is also part of the Shema prayer. Only a qualified scribe (sofer) may write the text on the parchment — only then is the mezuzah kosher. Some Jewish factions or emigrant Jews treat the mezuzah as a talisman with protective functions, but it is important to emphasize that its purpose is entirely different. The Talmud states that the mezuzah is one of the seven commandments given by God to Israel out of love, and it should be treated accordingly.

Mezuzah is hung on the doorframes or entrances of Jewish homes at a depth of one hand’s breadth as a literal fulfillment of the commandment given by JHWH. It should be placed on the right side of the entrance, diagonally, at a height of two-thirds. It must be fixed permanently, preferably nailed. The written parchments are checked periodically for damage. In homes, this is done every seven years; in public places, every fifty years. One can live in a room without a mezuzah for up to 30 days. Its placement is preceded by a blessing.

The collections created by Italian masters can confidently be called jewels of writing. Handcrafted and engraved in solid gold and silver, equipped with hard enamel and gemstones, they are luxury in themselves. The pens and pencils are made by master jewelers, which is why Urso products serve both as writing instruments and as jewelry in terms of design and appearance.

Exclusive office accessories make a wonderful addition to your desk decor, a gift for a director, or a luxurious present for high-level business meetings.
