HOW DOES THIS CAMPAIGN WORK?

Crowd funding campaigns are one of the most successful ways of raising money for start-ups nowadays. The options are open for you to pre-order Talking Mezuzahs, or simply give a few dollars to support this upcoming positive-thinking Israeli business!

OUR VISION:

The Talking Mezuzah™ is not just a pretty face; it is a unique creation that enables people to learn and grow with just a tap of a button. Many of the quotes are fun and entertaining, while others are deep and inspiring. Living in the modern world, we are always in a big hurry…Luckly,  we’ve we’ve engineered short 5-7 second quotes so that now, even the busiest of us can afford to pause and listen. It is a gift of wisdom to meditate upon throughout our day. Recent studies have shown that starting our day on a positive note can transform our lives for the better!

Torah Sources for Quotes Above:

•Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach – Some people sleep till morning, others know they have to bring the morning – In Psalms 57/8 King David writes –
“Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.” (New International Version)
•Abe Lincoln – You have to do your own growing, no matter how tall your father was – As is told in the book of Kings – King Salomon, (according to our sages) was the wisest man that ever lived, and an extremely powerful ruler. However, his son Rehavam, upon raising to power, after his father’s death, seemed to not be particularly wise and he made a huge political mistake that lost him more than half the kingdom of Israel. From this story we can see that there is no guarantee that children will be as great as their parents without putting in their own efforts.
•Judy Garland – Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else – Reb Zusha of Hanipol shared this powerful idea – When you die and stand before the heavanly court to be judged, the angels will not ask you – why you were not Moses our teacher? They will ask why were you not your complete self.
•The Rebbe – The world says that time is money, but in fact, time is life. – Psalms 49/16-17 – Do not be overawed when others grow rich, when the splendor of their houses increases; for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendor will not descend with them.
•Bob Marley – Do not gain the world and lose your soul; Wisdom is grater than silver or gold – The great medieaval Rabbi Shlomo Ibn Gabirol said – If you lack wisdom, what have you got? If you have got wisdom, what do you lack?

story
Lastly, there’s nothing like a good story…

MrMezoozOld   
MrMezoozNEW

      Three and a half thousand years ago, a little Mezuzah named Mr. Zuza was chillin’ on a doorpost.  G-d had granted him a precious mission to hang out there, and we’re taught that this helped protect the Jewish home.  Mr. Zuza was loved and respected by children, grownups, family and friends. They all joyfully gave him high-fives while passing by. However, 3,500 years later, poor Mr. Zuza wasn’t getting high-fived because people had forgotten how cool he is. Mr. Zuza cried out, “I need a makeover!”
We heard his crazy yelling from the doorpost and sprang into action! We designed three colorful sleek new suits for him, and even better…We gave him a new voice! Now he’ll share an inspirational quote with you to brighten your day whenever you give him that awesome 3,500 year-old high-five. Just like that, Mr. Zuza became…The Talking Mezuzah!
