Hamsa Hand Evil Eye Charm Israel Hebrew MAZAL Jewish Gift Key Ring w/ Travelers Prayer

This pendant features the Hebrew word "Mazal" meaning 'luck' or 'lucky'.

This amulet pendant is in the shape of a Hamsa, an ancient symbol picturing an opened hand with a palm and five outstretched fingers.

The eye-charm is considered to be effective in warding off the influence of envious gazing.

It is believed that the envious glare of onlookers, even without any ill intentions, can cause divine repercussions. It could therefore be considered helpful to wear or display such an amulet from that point of view.

On a practical level it can also be useful to consistently remind us of our own fragility and weaknesses, and to encourage us to reflect on this realization in our day to day thoughts, speech and actions.
