Dear Rabbi Simon
Can someone who is not Jewish handle mezuzot as in removing them carefully from the doorposts? We are out of the country and just wondered if it is an issue.
Many thanks,
Shevi
Hi Shevi
Thank you for your question.
Under the circumstances, if the mezuzot are in their cases, they may be carefully removed and stored by a decorator or similar. Don’t allow them to be misplaced. They are holy and costly too!
I hope this is helpful.
Rabbi Rashi Simon
