On your tour or virtual tour of a synagogue, see if you can notice one or more mezuzot (the plural of mezuzah) on the right side of the doorframes around the building.

Good places to look include the entrance door, the door to the sanctuary and the door to the rabbis office.

Ask your guide at the synagogue or research online to find the text of the scroll inside the mezuzah.

The text is called the Shema and it comes from the Jewish Bible.
