They are not door frames. They are called Mezuzah (in Hebrew, mezuzah means doorpost), and are a Jewish tradition.
The sanctity of the Jewish home is symbolized by the Mezuzah, a small scroll affixed at the doorpost of every Jewish home, and in every room therein. What does the Mezuzah contain? It contains the two Biblical passages in which mention is made of this important commandment:
"And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thy house and upon thy gates."
The verses are Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Deuteronomy 11:13-21.
