Slide 1: The Different Types of Jewish Jewelry The Jews, as we all know love to display their religious beliefs be it wearing the kipa, or wearing Jewish jewelry with the Star of David. Following are the common types of Jewish jewelry available for lovers of the Jewish religion. Star of David: The Star of David, also known as Magen David, is perhaps the most common symbol associated with Judaism and is the national symbol of Israel. Although not associated with early Jewish beliefs, this symbol became popular when it was adopted as the emblem of the Zionist movement. The six points and the center signify the number seven- the number that is deeply associated with spiritualism among the Jews. The number seven is also known as the day when God took rest after creating the Universe. Thus, the Star of Davis is very popularly coveted by both; Jews, and non Jews. You can either buy from the Silver 925 ones, or the ones made with a combination of five materials; lead, copper, gold, silver, and tin. Ana Bekoach: This prayer was written a great Kabbalist, Rabbi Nehumia Ben Hakannah and contained the 42 names of God. The prayer is composed of seven lines, with just six words in each line. And the first letter of each of these words is taken to create a 42 letter name. Today, this prayer has become very popular and is found in the Shaharit and the MIncha prayers. Hebrew jewelry made by incorporating the Ana Bekoach jewelry is very popular. Wearing this jewelry makes a person energetic and helps them find a positive outlook in life. Evil Jewelry: It’s not only to the Jews, but also the non Jews that covet this jewelry. This jewelry is often inscribed with the 72 names of God, or the special combination of letters that are comprised from the three verses from the book of Exodus. Also called as the ain-bet hashemot, these are known to carry encrypted messages that hold the secret to resolving difficulties in life. These bracelets come in different combinations and the wearer can choose from a combination of letters that is required. The basic combination of letters can protect the wearer from evil eye and bad spirits, promise prosperity, promote intimacy and companionship, and good health. As earlier said, you can either choose from the simple silver or ones made from five metals. Buying these jewelry is easy, thanks to the many online stores that sell Israeli jewelry. These jewelries are often the ideal choice for birthdays, anniversaries, and Bar Mitzvah.
