Having one's Mezuzot checked
- One should have one's Mezuzot checked by a sofer once in every three and a half years, and it is a pious practice to check them every year during Elul.[1]
The Bracha on putting up a Mezuzah
- If one took down one's Mezuzot in order to have them checked by the sofer and they were found to be kosher, one should put them back up with a Bracha of Lekvoh Mezuzah.[2]
- However, if one took down one's Mezuzah just to put it in a nicer case, one doesn't need to make a new Bracha when putting it up unless it was taken down for several hours so that one stopped thinking about the Mezuzah.[3]
