Description On the pendant there are Hebrew letters Aleph Lamed Daled - one of several safeguards which, according to Kabbalah, used in conjunction with the red bracelet offers protection from looks of envy and the mean-spirited intentions of others. Alef Lamed Dalet is one of 72 kabbalah names and its meaning is to protect against evil eye. On the back of the pendant it is written "Ben Porat Yosef" ("A fruitful son is Yosef (Joseph), a fruitful son by a spring.") (Genesis 49:22). "Ben Porat Yosef, Ben Porat Alei Ayin" - This phrase is a blessing that Jacob gave to Joseph before he died (found in the book of Genesis). People use this phrase for protection against the evil eye since Joseph symbolizes a person unharmed by others envy. An antique style pendant and all metal parts of the bracelet are made of 925 Sterling Silver. The silver is actual silver, not bonded or plated.
