Kabbalah jewelry:
The word Kabbalah in Hebrew literally means to receive, referring to the oral teachings that have been delivered by Kabbalists for generations. In the past, Kabbalah teachings included a limited number of people who were the mystical practitioner of Kabbalah. Nowadays, the wisdom of Kabbalah has become much more accessible. More people can enjoy the tools that Kabbalah provides us with in hope to promote positive changes in their lives. The various Kabbalistic spiritual keys are believed to hold energies needed to create the desired changes. Within the growing demand of Kabbalah inspired objects in world market, Kabbalah has entered the field of jewelry accessories. Jewelry items allow the wearer to bear these special amulets continuously wherever they go.
Kabbalah inspired jewelry feature motifs from Kabbalah studies that aspire to create positive effects in various aspects of life. These items are commonly known as Kabbalah jewelry. Kabbalah jewelry at large includes a broad collection of designed amulets, luck charms and many other items. In recent years, Kabbalah jewelry has claimed a special place within the Jewish jewelry niche.
In response to the growing demand, Judaica jewelry designers give special attention to the Kabbalah's motifs and sacred texts, incorporating them as an integral part of the jewelry accessories. Kabbalah inspired jewelry often draws on prominent symbols of mainstream Judaism that are traditionally believed to provide protection to the bearer, such as the Star of David. Many Kabbalah inspired amulets place a special focus on the traditional motifs that have been believed to banish the Evil Eye: the Hamsa hand, fish and the eye symbols, and more. Kabbalah lengthily discusses the negative, powerful effects of the envious stare or ill will can bring into our lives. Therefore, a special attention is given to those symbols believed to fight these unwanted influences. The jewelry pieces also feature symbols with qualities exclusive to Kabbalah that may not be known to many.
Almost all Kabbalah jewelry accessories have symbolic significance; thus, prior knowledge is required in order to decipher and understand their meaning. The jewelry items include mostly protection and blessing amulets inspired by Kabbalistic spiritual keys that enhance positive changes in the life of the wearer. These energetic keys are believed to mediate between the material world and the spiritual world. Before you purchase a Kabbalah jewelry piece, it is highly recommended to learn the meaning behind its symbols and design. Here we bring you a brief introduction to the rich world of meanings behind some central themes in Kabbalah jewelry.
Many Kabbalah inspired jewelry accessories are inscribed with Hebrew words that have Kabbalist meaning, such as the 72 names of God. According to the Kabbalah these spiritual keys release positive energies that bring us closer to finding life's joys, as happiness, love and prosperity. Many of you must have encountered jewelry pieces that are inscribed with the three letter sequence in Hebrew, Aleph-Lamed-Dalet. This sequence is one of the 72 names of God, a most important Kabbalist tool. This Aleph-Lamed-Dalet combination is believed banish the Evil Eye by fighting negative energies and drawing positive ones instead.
Other talismans that work against the Evil Eye are the popular Red String, the most simple Kabbalah bracelet worn on the left wrist. The red string exemplifies the variety of Kabbalah jewelry that ranges from very simplistic to highly sophisticated pieces made from precious metals.
Many Kabbalah jewelry accessories feature fish image, which is usually incorporated with other protective amulets. In Jewish tradition, fish is thought to offer a protection from the evil eye. Since fish live in the water and cannot be seen, they are protected from the envious stare. Because fish thrive in infinite numbers, fish also symbolizes prosperity and abundance. The fish symbol also bears a strong association with Biblical Joseph, the youngest son of Jacob. In the book of Genesis, Jacob blesses his son by calling him "Ben Porat Yosef Alei Ayne" which means a fruitful or abundant son (Genesis, 49:42). In Jewish tradition, Joseph is considered a righteous and virtuous man, and so it has become common custom to use his name as a virtue against evil eye to provide blessing and protection.
Many Kabbalah jewelry accessories combine a few motifs simultaneously to provide strong and effective protection to the wearer. You can also find specific structures or forms that create special energetic fields. The Star of David is believed to be a protective amulet because of its hexagram shape that points to the six directions of the Earth and the divine protection it draws from these directions. The three-dimensional Star of David form is the Chariot, or Merkabah in Hebrew. Due to its special structure, the Merkaba is believed to release spiritual energies. Many of the Kabbalah inspired pieces are also incorporated with energetic gemstones such as Turquoise, Garnet and Chrysoberyl (Cat's Eye), to name a few. Each carries its own special qualities and helps to intensify the powerful effects of the amulets and luck charms that embody them.
The Kabbalah jewelry is often inscribed with psalms and prayers in Hebrew taken from the Bible and other sacred sources, such as Shema Yisrael, the best known prayer in the Jewish tradition to which every Jew can relate to. Tfilat HaDerech (Traveler's Prayer) is another example, a perfect amulet for travelers and life-long journeys of personal and professional exploration. Ana Bekoah, a very common feature in Kabbalah jewelry, is a Kabbalist prayer for strength and healing that gives the power to overcome difficulties and reach higher consciousness. The Priestly blessing, Birkat HaKoanim, taken from the Book of Deuteronomy, would suit anyone interested in strengthening their spirituality. All of theses verses and many others express our constant search for blessing, protection and safeguard as we go about our daily lives. It is highly recommended that you search for the piece of jewelry that combines the elements that best meet your needs and wishes.
