Reply To: What does a Chamsa symbolize in Orthodox judiasm? ✋

It’s really funny, you guys must come to Israel. Many mainstream BY girls were them without having any idea what it means….it’s like a style thing, one of those things you buy in Israel. A chamsa necklace (usually blue), a IDF sweater, and a Hodaya necklace. Any seminary girl has at least of these 3 things.

It’s a symbol, much like the star of David…many people consider it to be from the Zohar or something but no one can provide me with a source.
