One of Judaism's most important prayers is the Shema Yisrael ("Hear O Israel! The Lord our G-d, the Lord is one.").
Jews are enjoined to have the prayer al mezuzot beitecha(on the doorposts of your house) and the prayer is written on parchment and put into small enclosures called mezuzot.

Where is the Shema scroll kept?
There is no such thing as a "Shema scroll". A synagogue will keep its Torah scrolls in the ark in the front of the sanctuary. The ark is an ornate cabinet that sits where a Christian would expect an altar. There are small scrolls that do contain the text of the Shema that are put in little cases on the doorposts of Jewish houses (mezuzot), and small scrolls inside tefillin, little leather boxes worn by observant Jews during weekday morning prayers.
How do Jewish people ensure that shema is special in their life?
Jews traditionally recite the Shema twice daily, on arising in the morning and on going to bed at night. In addition, the text of the Shema is written on a scroll that is attached to the doorposts of a large fraction of all houses. If you are familiar with the text of the Shema, it includes the commandments to recite it on rising and going to bed, and to write it on the doorposts, so the Jewish tradition is simply following these commandments.
