An honest note about the hamsa

The hamsa — the open-hand symbol — is beloved across Jewish, Middle Eastern and Sephardi tradition, where it is widely associated with protection from the evil eye. Some households in our community wear it simply as heritage; others avoid it precisely because of the amulet association. We are not going to tell you which to be. We are telling you what it is, so the person you are gifting it to is delighted rather than conflicted. If in doubt, the plain Star of David is the safe gift in every tradition.
