The Hamsa
The Hamsa (in Hebrew: חַמְסָה, meaning five, also written as khamsa and chamsa) is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
It is thought to ward off the evil eyeand offers protection from the hand of God. The Hamsa looks like a hand with three fingers pointing upward and the thumb and pinky pointing outward. The palm of the hand is commonly covered with an eye.
Jews also use the Hamsa symbol to ward off the evil eye. The symbol is connected to the five books of the Torah, and is used for many things. Wall plaques, key chains, and amulets often feature the Hamsa symbol. Representations of the Hamsa symbol may include copies of certain Hebrew prayers, as well likethe Sh'ma Prayer, the Birkat HaBayit (Blessing for the Home), or the Tefilat HaDerech (Traveler's Prayer).
It is believed that the one, who wears it or hangs it in his house, will be protected from the Evil Eye and other negative thoughts. Amulets are intended to guard and protect a person, his family and all his effects - from the violence of nature and from sorcery and demons. Sometimes they are intended to heal the sick, to dispel infertility, to protect travelers on a journey, to bring good fortune and success, or to evoke good will and love.
