Producing this object using
elements of the Land of Israel
adds to the sanctification of

placed on the mezuzah, it is enclosed, creating
a warm and safe feeling.
Melani says that producing this object using
elements of the Land of Israel adds to the
sanctification of the space outside of where
the mezuzah is placed.
