- 1). Remove the case from the doorpost, being careful not to damage it any further. Do not drop it.
- 2). Take the mezuzah scroll, and the case if it is also damaged, to a synagogue with a genizah -- a repository for sacred texts and other items that are to be destroyed. Many, but not all, synagogues have one.
- 3). The mezuzah scroll will stay in the genizah until it receives a proper ceremonial burial in a Jewish cemetery.
