Military Jewelry By Aharon's Jewish Books and Judaica

CHAI

This design is a combination of the Hebrew letters Het and Yud which together,
mean Life.

HAMSA

This ancient symbol, most commonly known as the Hamsa or Hamesh hand, is
used as a protective amulet by Jews. The name hamsa is derived from the Semitic root meaning "five".

MENORAH

One of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith is the Menorah, a
seven-branched candelabrum used in the Temple. The Kohanim lit the Menorah in the Sanctuary every evening and cleaned it out every morning, replacing the wicks and putting fresh olive oil into the cups.

It has been said that the Menorah is a symbol of the Nation of Israel and our
mission to be "a light unto the nations". The sages emphasize that light is not a violent force; Israel is to accomplish its mission by setting an example, not by using force.

The nine-branched Menorah used on Chanukah is commonly patterned after this Menorah, because Chanukah commemorates the miracle that a day's worth of oil for this Menorah lasted eight days.

The Menorah in the First and Second Temple had seven branches. After the Temples were destroyed, a tradition developed not to duplicate anything from the Temple and therefore Menorah's no longer had seven branches.

The use of six-branched Menorahs became popular, but, in modern times, some Rabbis have gone back to the seven-branched Menorahs, arguing that they are not the same as those used in the Temple because today's are electrified.

MEZUZAH This personal icon is representative of an actual Mezuzah (from the Hebrew for "doorpost"), which is a small parchment inscribed with short Torah passages in Hebrew.

The parchment is rolled up, placed in a decorative case, and attached to the
doorpost of Jewish homes.

This view of the mezuzah was popular in Talmudic times, especially in the Middle Ages under the influence of the Kabbalists. Belief in the protective powers of the Mezuzah continues to be common today, particularly within Orthodox Judaism.

NEVER AGAIN

This pendant was created to remind us all of the atrocities which took place during the Holocaust, and to pledge that NEVER AGAIN, will we allow this to happen.

With the current insanity taking place in the world, and so called “World Leaders” promising to destroy the People of Israel, its relevance becomes imperative.

The design consists of an octagon shaped background which represents a “stop” sign, the NA for NEVER AGAIN, and the Magen or “Star” of David, which is not only the national icon of the State of Israel but also symbolic of the “yellow” star worn on the clothing of, and used to identify Jews, during the Holocaust.

STAR OF DAVID

The Star or Shield of David is universally recognized sign of Judaism and Jewish identity. It has however. only achieved this status in the last 200 years. Before that time, it was chiefly associated with magic. In our
own day, it's universal Jewish popularity, especially as the symbol of the State of Israel, has made the question of it's origins moot.
