We were ecstatic to receive an order for 800 mezuzot for Elbit Systems back in July.
This meant lots of work through the summer months for our Ethiopian embroiderers who hand sew the beautiful designs.Why 800 we asked? They told us it was to place on each door of their new office building in Netanya.
