Delaware's first Jewish governor has hung a mezuzah at his home — the governor's mansion in Dover.

The small ornamental boxes containing a prayer scroll are commonly affixed to entrances of Jewish homes. Rabbi Peter Grumbacher affixed the mezuzah to a door post at Woodburn on Tuesday afternoon. Grumbacher is rabbi emeritus at Congregation Beth Emeth and has long been rabbi to the Markell family.
