This splendid Hamsa, another Dorit Judaica creation, is adorned with colorful pomegranates – the eternal Jewish symbol of bounty and righteousness. In the center, around an ornate circle are engraved quotations from the book of Proverbs – one, praising the Jewish woman - “The wisdom of women builds their home” (14:1) - and another, from the Eishet Chayil hymn (31:10-31) “She opens her mouth with wisdom and the law of kindness is on her tongue… Many daughters have done valiantly but you excel them all.”

Eishet Chayil is a magnificent tribute to the Jewish woman. It is recited in every Jewish home on Friday night after Shalom Aleichem, before the meal. Following the order of the Hebrew alphabet, each verse begins with another letter, a reminder of the magnitude of the eishet chayil – the Jewish woman.
