subject: Hebrew Jewelry Can Be Appreciated By All [print this page] Hebrew jewelry has long been popular but these days it seems even more so. In part, this is because it is not just being purchased by Jewish people any more. There is a such a long history behind the symbols used that it has gained a mass appeal.
The Jewish culture, of course, is one with an ancient history. It is difficult to find other groups of people with a similar unbroken lineage of such a long use of the same symbols. This makes those symbols have even deeper meaning than they might otherwise.
With the recent interest in Kabbalah by people of all backgrounds, Jewish symbols are also gaining new interest. Many symbols that have meaning within the Jewish faith have specific significance within this mystic branch of Judaism. Even Hollywood celebrities have purchased this type of jewelry.
Among the symbols most often represented include the Star of David, the Hamsa, the Hoshen and many more. In some cases, the jewelry has Hebrew inscriptions of passages from the Psalms or other text from the Old Testament. This can be appealing to Christians as well as it is also part of their heritage.
This type of jewelry can be appreciated purely for its beauty and historic value as well. It brings with it a sense of connection to the past in addition to something greater than ourselves. When you are wearing something similar to what might have been worn thousands of years ago, you get a sense of the interconnectedness of all beings.
Hebrew jewelry can appeal to everyone, whether they're Jewish, studying Kabbalah or just have respect and appreciation for the tradition and the history. The symbols are also viewed as protection against negative energy and can help remind us of a spiritual path. Both these factors can be considered positive features for all.
