The collection is considered to be the world's largest private collection of mezuzah cases and includes rare mezuzahs from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is currently on display in the entrance hall of the Great Synagogue in Jerusalem. Dr. Rosenbaum was inspired to collect these rare mezuzah cases by an early childhood memory of her father lifting her to kiss mezuzah cases throughout their home.
