The Hebrew blessings form the shape of the hand. Jewish folk tradition has long used the hand shape among the Sephardim and the red color among the Ashkenazim to protect vulnerable individuals from the evil eye. The amulet is printed by letterpress, which impresses the ink into the paper, giving the artwork a rich texture. The amulet is printed on a heavyweight, acid-free Mohawk Superfine paper stock and a red ribbon is included in the package. You may choose to attach the ribbon to the paper as a bow or to hang it on the wall, or to tie it on the baby's crib.
Many customers request a personalized amulet.
Please specify for a boy or a girl. The Tree of Life text, from the Book of Proverbs and referring to wisdom, makes a great Bar or Bat Mitzvah gift as this is the prayer said upon returning the Torah to the ark during services. It is a tree of life to those who hold fast to it. Its ways are ways of pleasantness. All its paths are peace.
