15. Making your child’s room into a Mikdash Me’at:[1]
Even today, every Jew is obligated to make for himself a dwelling place for G-d within his home. This obligation is relevant even for children, and even for a newborn baby. It can be accomplished by placing inside the baby’s room a Chumash, a Siddur, and a charity box. These books should be personally purchased on behalf of the child and be considered as his and have his name written on it after first writing LaHashem Ha’aretz Umiloa. If possible, his name should also be written on the charity box. To sanctify the room, one should try to study some amount daily from the child’s Chumash, and to pray or say blessing from the child’s Siddur, and to give charity in his charity box.
