Mezuzah

In Israel you can find a Mezuzah in each room entrance.
Inside, you can find a parchment with the following prayer:

Sh'ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Eḥad - Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord is One



This is a Jewish tradition that intends to direct one's heart towards the presence of the one God in each and every moment of our daily life.
An interesting concept, and an aesthetic one too, as there are many styles of Mezuzah.
