What is the Mezuza:
The word Mezuzah (also written as: Mezuza in singular and Mezuzahs, Mezuzot and Mesusas in plural), originates from the Jewish bible. The original meaning was the two doorposts. Today, the word Mezuzah is used for the Mezuzah case.
This use is wrong. The box is the Mezuzah case, while the scroll inside the box is the Mezuzah itself.
Each Mezuzah case (or Mezuzah house) is filled with Mezuzah scrolls, which are made of parchment. On the Mezuzah scroll there are two paragraphs written:
The first is taken from Deuteronomy 6:4-9, and the second is taken from Deuteronomy 11:13-21. Every Mezuza must be written by Sofer Stam (a rabbi who was ordained to write scriptures, books and Mezuzah scrolls), according to Orthodox Judaism. Today, people can buy Mezuzah scrolls which were printed and not hand written.
The letter Shin is written on many Mezuzah cases. Many other Mezuzah cases have the word Shaday (sha-da-y) written on them. Shaday is one the names of god, but is also an acronym, meaning Shomer Daltot Israel (Israel's Doors Guardian).

Mezuzah:
God's command to affix Mezuzahs on every Jewish door is first given in Deuteronomy (Dvarim in Hebrew), on chapter 6:9:
'And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.' (where the word 'them' refers to Mezuzahs). Later, god repeats this command in chapter 11.
In these two passages, god calls the Jews to pay attention to his words and to remember them. He commands them to hang these words on the doorstep, so that by entering or exiting the house, the dweller shall be reminded of god's words, every time he or she sees the Mezuza case.
Hanging an empty Mezuzah case isn't considered fulfilling god's orders. After the Mezuzah scroll is rolled and inserted into the Mezuzah house, the Mezuzah house is affixed to the right side doorpost at a slight angle. A short ceremony, called 'Dedication of the house' (Hanukat ha bayit), is being recited.
Mezuzahs are affixed at a slight angle due to a dispute rabbis had – after not being able to decide whether Mezuzahs should be hung horizontally or vertically, it was decided that Mezuzahs shall be hung horizontally with a slight angle.
It is customary to kiss Mezuzahs when one enters and exits the house. This Mitzvah (order in Hebrew) reminds believers of the Mezuzahs and of god's rules which are in the Mezuzah house.
In times of yore, Mezuzah cases were mainly made of wood. Today Mezuzah cases are made of different sorts of materials. Mezuzah cases are usually up to 12 centimeters long and a few centimeters wide.
It is customary to take the Mezuzah house, when a Jewish family moves out of their house. Though the Mezuzah house is not considered holy, if a Mezuzah scroll is left inside it, and the Mezuzah house is treated badly by the house' new dwellers, the Mezuzah scroll is being desecrated.
