Secrets & Symbols: Kabbalah Jewelry Explained

Secrets & Symbols: Kabbalah Jewelry Explained

  What is Kabbalah? Kabbalah refers to the ancient mystical teachings which were passed down together with the Torah. It translates to “that which is received.” In order to receive the esoteric wisdom found in Kabbalah one must negate their own ego and submit to the will of G-d. There are three types of Kabbalah: Theoretical, Meditative, and Mystic. The latter two categories have been largely lost over the years; what’s taught today is the cryptic theoretical Kabbalah found in the Zohar. However there are bits and pieces of meditative and mystic Kabbalah still to be found in the world and many of our Kabbalah jewelry items incorporate this magic. Kabbalistic Words and Symbols   Ana Bekoach Said to have immense spiritual strength, Ana Bekoach is a well-known liturgical poem whose authorship is attributed to the tanna Rabbi Nehunya ben HaKanah who lived in the Middle Ages. The prayer contains 42 words, the first letter of each combines to form the 42 letter Divine Name of G-d. Ana Bekoach is so powerful, it is said to be able to alter the flow of reality, to achieve your wildest dreams.   Ben Porat Yosef The full phrase, “Ben Porat Yosef, Ben Porat Alei Ayin” (A graceful son is Yosef, a graceful son by a spring) was a blessing given to Josef by his father, Jacob, right before his death (Genesis 49:22). It is brought down in Kabbalah that this blessing contained the power to protect Yosef (and all his descendants) from the jealousy of others—the “Evil Eye.”   Evil Eye The power of the Evil Eye comes from the envy and ill-wishes of others. When a person looks at the good fortune of others with jealousy, they give G-d reason to reevaluate—did this person really deserve the good fortune they received? Are they being too showy and boastful? In this way the Evil Eye has been cast. There are many talismans used to ward off the Evil Eye and keep the jealousy of others at bay. These talismans include “Good Eye” jewelry, Hamsas, and red strings, among others.     Hamsa The Arabic word for “five,” Hamsas are a symmetrical hand-shaped amulet popular in Muslim and Jewish cultures. In Kabbalah, the Hamsa symbolizes the hand of Miriam who protected her brother Moses from harm. It is often inscribed with different Kabbalistic symbols and prayers used to bring peace and ward off evil.   Merkabah Star of David The word merkabah means chariot, and refers to the metaphorical throne-chariot of G-d allegorically said to be driven by four wild animals (Ezekiel 1:4-26). In Kabbalah the merkabah is an esoteric means of travel between spiritual dimensions. When used in a physical form the merkabah takes the shape of a three-dimensional Star of David comprised of two interlocked pyramids. This shape contains an intense spiritual force of attraction to attract your hearts’ desires.   Tree of Life The tree of life has many meanings, however in Kabbalah it refers to the formation of the Sefirot which resemble a tree. The Sefirot are the heavenly emanations of G-d, through which we relate to Him and emulate Him. In English they are: Crown, Understanding, Wisdom, Knowledge, Strength, Kindness, Harmony, Glory, Victory, Foundation, and Kingship. To truly understand these Sefirot, one must dive into the deepest esoteric mysteries of the universe and be willing to completely subjugate oneself to the Will of G-d.   72 Divine Names of G-d The Kabbalah lists 72 Names of G-d, each one comprised of three letters with its own unique power. These names were taken from three verses in the Torah, each verse comprised of 72 letters (Exodus 14:19-21). These verses describe the manifestation of G-d’s unlimited power as He split the Sea of Reeds. This miracle showed the world not only G-d’s power, but His intimate interest in mankind as well. Each of the divine three-letter names has a unique ability to bring about positive change in your life.(To learn more about the origin of the 72 names see https://www.chabad.org/kabbalah/article_cdo/aid/1388270/jewish/72-Names-of-G-d.htm)

Ani Ledodi: The Power of Love

Ani Ledodi: The Power of Love

אני לדודי ודודי לי I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine. Who hasn’t seen this quote at weddings, decorating the chuppah, the ketubah, the invitations, and even the couples’ wedding rings? There’s no question that it’s a beautiful sentiment and a popular choice. But as we all know, nothing in Judaism is without a deeper, hidden meaning. So, where does this famous Hebrew love verse come from and what does it really mean? Ani Ledodi was written over 2000 years ago in the city of Jerusalem by the Jewish king of Israel himself, King Solomon. Solomon was actually a prolific writer, authoring many sagacious works which showcased his immense wisdom and insight. Perhaps the most well-known and well-read of his books is the poetic love story, Shir HaShirim, The Song of Songs.  As Rabbi Jack Abramowitz writes: On the surface, it is a beautiful love story, at times bordering on erotic poetry. There would seem to be little place for such a thing in the Bible. And yet, the Mishna in Yadayim (3:5) says that the entire world was never more deserving than the day on which Shir HaShirim was given to Israel. Why? Because “all the Writings are holy, but Shir HaShirim is the holy of holies.” He goes on to explain: The Book is taken to be a metaphor for the relationship between G-d and Israel. In the metaphor, G-d plays the role of the man and Israel plays the woman. (This is a common metaphor; throughout the Bible, the relationship between G-d and Israel is described as a marriage, with the revelation at Sinai being the wedding.) So, this immense work is full of beautiful verses poetically declaring the love and passion between G-d and Israel, or man and woman. But why is Ani Ledodi the most famous one of all?  To start with, we need the baseline understanding that any text included in the Jewish Biblical canon (the Tanakh) was written with ruach hakodesh, Divine inspiration. The Song of Songs is no exception, and therefore nothing in the text is arbitrary or subject to the whims of mans’ interpretations. Any deeper meaning found within the text is there for a reason and meant to be found. Nothing in Tanakh is an accident. With this understanding we can now look at a reason for why the Ani Ledodi verse has become so popular and well-known—surely no coincidence. When you take the first letter of each word in the verse,      אני לדודי ודודי לי Ani Ledodi V’dodi Li You get:  א-ל-ו-ל  E-L-U-L The twelfth month of the Jewish calendar, the month leading up to the High Holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.  As we said before, this acronym is no coincidence. What is the significance of the month of Elul and what is its connection to Ani Ledodi? During the month leading up to The Day of Judgment, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (18th century) teaches us, “the King is in the field.” This means that G-d, the king, makes Himself accessible to us. Instead of His normal place behind palace walls, during this time He is out in the field for us to simply go out and talk with Him, pray, ask for forgiveness, and spill our hopes and desires. G-d says during Elul, “If I am your beloved, then you are Mine. Come just a step towards me and I will come the rest of the way.”  Elul is the month that epitomizes “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” Furthermore, this verse illustrates the reciprocal nature of our relationship with G-d. Not only do we love and worship G-d and praise His Name—He does the same for us.  Just as Jewish men put on tefillin (phylacteries) everyday which contain praises of G-d, the Talmud B’rachot 6 tells us G-d also puts on tefillin every day, but His contain praises of the Jewish people. (Kedushat Levi, Exodus, Bo. Sefaria.org). Thus we come to the true meaning of Ani Ledodi: “My beloved and I only exist for the sake of each other.” This raw, passionate love is how we are taught to love G-d.  The great scholar and philosopher Maimonides expounds on the proper form of the love of God: It is that he should love Hashem (G-d) with a great, overpowering, fierce love as if he were love-sick for a woman and dwells on this constantly… And it is to this that Solomon refers allegorically when he says: ‘For I am faint with love’ (Song of Songs 2:5) for the whole of Song is a parable on this theme.” (Hilchot Teshuvah, 10:3). From G-d’s point of view, He created us purely to serve us and bestow good upon us. While simultaneously from our perspective, we were created to serve G-d and do good to His creations. This is the essence of a happy marriage. Don’t think about what your partner should be doing for you; think only about what you could be doing for your partner. Love and give to your partner only from a desire to be close to them, not thinking about what you will receive in return. This, is the secret to an everlasting marriage that Ani Ledodi comes to impart. Shop Ani Ledodi Jewelry and Wedding Rings.
