The Largest Mezuzah in the World
Achieved by Rabbi Shmuli & Chani Nachlas on behalf of the Robbins Family Campus – Jewish Youth Network of Ontario, Canada.

Klaf written in Ksav Arizal, prepared by Klaf Safranovitch, scribed by Rabbi Menachem Ashraf (Kiryat Malachi, Israel), and produced by HaSofer, Rabbi Moshe Klein and Zalman Schapiro (Crown Heights, New York), together with Rabbi Michoel Alprin (Kfar Chabad, Israel).

Completed on Monday, 20 Menachem Av 5783 (August 7, 2023) and dedicated on November 4, 2025 (13 Kislev 5786).

This record-setting Mezuzah stands out not only for its monumental size but also for its exceptional craftsmanship and value — its creation and custom casing cost $36,000.

It is proudly installed at the JYN Robbins Family Campus, the first Jewish youth centre of its kind in the world — a 26,000-square-foot hub designed to inspire connection, mitzvot, and Jewish pride through vibrant spaces, hands-on education, and meaningful Jewish experiences for thousands of youth, teens, and young adults across the GTA.
