Sterling Silver CHAI (symbolizes life) 3.4 g
Description
Sterling silver Chai (symbolizes long life)
The word is made up of two letters of the
Hebrew alphabet
-
Chet
(
ח
) and
Yod
(
י
), forming the word "chai," meaning "alive," or "living." The most common spelling is "Chai", but the word is occasionally also spelled "Hai".
The Literal Meaning of Chai
The Hebrew word “chai” means “life.” It’s a deceptively simple two letter word made up of the Hebrew letters “chet” and “yud.” In the Jewish tradition, each Hebrew letter has a numeric value as well. The sum of the Chai’s two Hebrew letters equals 18, which has made 18 an especially auspicious number in the Jewish tradition. For this reason, some believe that a Chai pendant has special protective or luck-bearing properties.
The Many Meanings of Chai
The deeper question is why the word life should become such a popular pendant. Life has always been a central focus of the Jewish religion and culture. The toast “l’chaim” means “to life!” For all the many commandments in the Torah, Jews are reminded these are the laws “v’chai bahem,” that you will live through them.
