As a professor of linguistics and a left-handed artist, I want to support my left-handed Soferim scribes in Crown Heights and Williamsburg. I only wear left handed scribes Tefillin. May you be blessed with the support of more left-handed artists and become leaders in the field among both righties and lefties. Reply

Someone asked me the Rebbe's Torah source that the mezuzos protect the whole world, not just ones own home. Can you please print it? Reply

in response to Naomi:

It seems to be based on the Tosfos Yomtov's commentary on the Mishnah in tractate Keilim 17:16, that in ancient times people would use a mezuzah for general protection, not just in their homes. Reply
