Jerusalem Stone Pendant with Hamsa & 'Eshet Chayil' Engraving

Rabot banot asu chayil v'at alit al'kul'anah", meaning: " Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all" is a verse from the prayer "Eshet Chayil". "Eshet Chayil" is sung at every Friday night Shabbat table. This custom was initiated by kabbalists in the 17th century, who viewed Shabbat as an occasion of mystical union with the Divine. They understood Eshet Chayil allegorically as a representation of the Shekhina, the feminine presence of God, with the Woman of Valor being the Sabbath, whom we had welcomed, with renewed energy, into our midst. Another meaning is that singing this proverb was also an occasion to offer appreciation for mothers who cook, bake, sew and prepare the Shabbat dinner. The valorous woman in Proverbs 31 never sits still, let alone rests. Her light never goes out and she rises from her bed when it is still dark. Keep Jerusalem close to your heart with this gorgeous sterling silver box chain and pendant made with authentic and certified Jerusalem stone. The beauty of the Jerusalem stone is its unique limestone color which glows like gold when the sun reflects off it and hence Jerusalem is known to be the city of gold.

This will make a wonderful anniversary, birthday or Holiday gift to any woman.
