Florida’s House and Senate returned for their regular sessions last Tuesday, March 4, 2008, but with one change: the office doors of House Majority Leader Adam Hasner and House Minority Leader Dan Gelber, both Jewish, were fitted with mezuzos.

The mezuzah mountings began on Tallahassee’s first day back in session, when House Majority Leader Adam Hasner invited Chabad of Tallahassee’s director Rabbi Shneur Oirechman to place a mezuzah on the door of his Tallahassee office—following in the footsteps of Gov. Charlie Crist who had him affix one on his door last year (reported HERE on YWN)

An hour later Gov. Crist delivered the traditional State of of the State Address, in turn followed by the traditional dinner at the Governor’s Mansion attended by 128 select guests.  Rabbi Oirechman and wife were honored to attend, as Gov. Crist seated them at his own table, together with his parents.

In the course of the dinner, Rep. Hasner personally stopped in to greet the governor and his guests, mentioning the office mezuzah he had just received, which put him in Crist’s company.  The only ones without mezuzos in Tallahassee now, quipped Oirechman, are the Jewish House and Senate Democratic leaders, also both Jewish. Upon hearing this, Crist immediately called Rep. Gelber personally, telling him that he also needed a mezuzah.  Gelber replied that he will have the rabbi come by his office to install one at the earliest possible convenience.
The ensuing dinner conversation centered on the mitzvah of mezuzah, with the rabbi explaining the mitzvah in depth. 

Two days later, Rabbi Oirechman was invited by minority leader Representative Gelber to hammer a mezuzah onto the doorframe of his house office.
