Question
How soon should one have their mezuzahs up following moving into a new home? We just moved into a new apartment two weeks ago, and our shipment of mezuzahs that we ordered online was delayed for a reason we cannot seem to ascertain. We ordered them online from a supplier who says they haven’t yet received the ones they are supposed to ship to us. It sounds like a worker shortage could be at play and it might take several more weeks. There is no local place here to buy them either and mail order is really the only option. We are embarrassed because we will be having some company the next two Shabbosim and we have no mezuzahs on our doors.

My mezuzah scroll came to me unrolled, in a vacuum-sealed plastic. My question is, can I roll up the mezuzah while inside the protective plastic... Or must I take it out of the plastic, roll it, and then put the plastic back on?

Question
Dear Rabbi, I am making a needlepoint cover case for a mezuzah and there are two inserts available. One is hand-written, the other one is reproduced. Is there a religious difference, or just a price difference? Thanks.
