The
Hamsa, the Hand of Miriam or Hamesh Hand, makes a significant
Jewish gift idea as it is a figure used often in Israeli and Jewish culture. The Hamsa/ Chamsa is a symbol found in folklore as a talisman for protection. This
Jewish gift is believed to avert the Evil Eye and draw-in the blessings of happiness, health, prosperity and positive energy.
There are many spiritual relationships with the Hamsa, whose name originates from the Semitic root word for 'five'. Such include:
- The 5 Books of Moses
- The 5 Letter: Hey, which represents a Name of G-d
- The 5th Sephirah (Gevurah) Manifests as the Forces of Nature
- The 5 Forces of Nature are Perceived by our 5 Senses
The Hamsa is most commonly given during housewarming gift giving or during times of illness for support. Share this unique Jewish gift, especially designed by the
Jewish woman artist, Naomie, with loved ones and close friends!
