On my recent trip to Israel, I bought some clear plastic mezuzah covers for the scrolls that I am planning to put on our new home. I like to see the actual mezuzah, and I have heard that the letter “shin,” which stands for Hashem’s name, is supposed to be left uncovered so that it will shine forth with its blessing into our home.[A]Rambam 1:1
When our local sofer came by to help us put up the mezuzot, he suggested that we use opaque covers for the bedroom mezuzot. Why is this so? [B]Rash Suka 3a
