The largest mezuzah in the world – designed by the artist Yaakov Agam – was unveiled and placed in the Wolfson Museum of Jewish Art at Heichal Shlomo in Jerusalem.
The Maastricht University student discovered the damage to his mezuzah, an object containing scripture on parchment that Jews affix to their doorframes.
The placing of the mezuzah was done in coordination with the Jewish Council of the Emirates.
According to Chabad.org, Gantz said it was necessary to complete the installation of the mezuzah before his trip to "help ensure the safety and security of Israel."
"This partnership is a wonderful example of how the mitzvah of mezuzah connects, protects and unites Jews of all ages and backgrounds."
University student Maddy Gun says she believes in the power of education to fight antisemitism.
The bill is a watershed moment in supporting Jews who wish to practice their faith openly and safely, and protects Jews from any discriminatory property laws.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill that bars landlords and homeowners associations from prohibiting their tenants from affixing mezuzahs to their doors and door frames.
According to a release by California state legislators, the bill was a Jewish Caucus priority bill, co-authored by every member of the caucus.
Following publication of the ban by several media outlets, Warwick Estates retracted the ban and apologized.
