The Hamsa Hand (Arabic) or hamesh hand (Hebrew) is an old and still popular apotropaic amulet for magical protection from the evil eye. The words hamsa and hamesh mean "five" and refer to the digits on the hand. Referred also as hand of Fatima and hand of Miriam. For centuries the Hamsa has been used as a symbol of Good luck and shields its owner from the curse of the evil eye. The Hamsa's positive energy draws happiness, riches and health.
Gematria or Jewish numerology, is one of the haggadic hermeneutical rules for interpreting the Torah by which a word or phrase is explained on the basis of numerical equivalents. According to the kabbalists, Jewish mystics, the essense of a thing is in its name since the world was created through speech.
In Hebrew every letter, word and phrase equals a number. CHAI or HAY chai equals the number 18. The Hebrew spelling is het and yod, with the numerical value of eight and ten. Often Jewish people give gifts and charitable donations in increments of eighteen.
CHAI MEANS LIFE!
Chai is best known in the blessing Le Chai'im! meaning - To Life!
A perfect gift for a loved one or a magnificent addition to your own collection.
