Man invents ‘Christooza’ mezuzahs for Christians

A Jewish man from Queens is offering Christians an idea from his religion to theirs — a Christian mezuzah.

Henry Zabarsky’s Christooza is a hollow plastic cross containing a piece of prayer-inscribed parchment — which, like the traditional Jewish mezuzah, is also intended to be affixed to doorposts.

“I was visiting a client in Rockaway. She’s very religious — Catholic. There were pictures of Jerusalem everywhere, crosses. And I was thinking, Jews have this mezuzah — so why not create one for everyone else?” said Zabarsky (above), 43, a financial adviser.

The crosses sell on his Web site for $20, with several prayer options, including an Irish house blessing and a Catholic prayer for the home. A custom blessing fetches an additional $5.
