“Judaica," "Hebrew Amulet," "Evil Eye Protection"
Spiritual Significance: This medallion is a classic Kabbalistic amulet. The top features the Hebrew letters ALD (Aleph-Lamed-Dalet), one of the 72 Names of God used specifically for protection against the Evil Eye. Surrounding the border is the blessing of 'Ben Porat Yosef' (Genesis 49:22), a traditional prayer for prosperity and safeguarding against jealousy and ill-will.
The Meaning of the Inscriptions 1. The "ALD" Protection Code (Top Center) At the very top of the border, you will see three distinct letters: א.ל.ד (Aleph-Lamed-Dalet). • Significance: In Kabbalistic tradition, this is one of the "72 Names of God." It is specifically used as a powerful antidote to the "Evil Eye" (Ayin Ha'ra). It is believed to protect the wearer from the negative energy of jealousy and resentment from others. 2. The Blessing of Joseph (The Border) The rest of the letters around the rim are an abbreviation for the biblical verse Genesis 49:22:
"Ben Porat Yosef, Ben Porat Alei Ayin" > (Translation: "A fruitful son is Joseph, a fruitful son by a spring.")
Why Joseph? In Jewish tradition, Joseph (Yosef) is the ultimate symbol of immunity to the Evil Eye. Because he was able to thrive despite the jealousy of his brothers, this verse is used as a "spiritual vaccine" to protect one's success and beauty from being harmed by others' envy. 3. The Hamsa (Center) The central hand is the Hamsa (Hand of Miriam). The five fingers represent the five books of the Torah and serve as a physical reminder to use one’s five senses to do good.
The Meaning Behind the Medallion: This is a traditional Kabbalistic amulet featuring two layers of protection. The top center is inscribed with א.ל.ד (ALD), a sacred Name of God used to ward off the 'Evil Eye.' The border is engraved with the 'Ben Porat Yosef' blessing (Genesis 49:22), traditionally worn for prosperity, health, and safeguarding against jealousy. A heavy, meaningful piece of Israeli craftsmanship.
