The Wall, the last surviving segment of Solomon's glorious Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans before they expelled the Jews from the Land of Israel.  For over 2000 years, Jews around the world have prayed to Jerusalem and the Western Wall.

A soldier standing in front of the Western Wall means something - pride. Every soldier knows that his mission stands above all else and when you see a soldier praying in front of the western wall before leaving for a mission to protect the people of Israel your heart fill’s with pride. 

"Blessed art Thou, LORD our God, King of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth" is the traditional blessing made by Jews before eating bread.  It is also one of the most significant blessings in the Jewish religion, one said by the head of the household before any festive meal. In the desert, after the Exodus from Egypt, the manna did not fall on Shabbat. Instead, a double portion fell on Friday. By using two loaves of challah at Shabbat meal, we remind ourselves of the sanctity of Shabbat and that God will provide for our material needs! (Exodus 16:4-30).

The clenched signifies strength and determination.  Over the millennia, wherever they have been, the Jewish people have been persecuted. The Roman's exiled us from the Land of Israel, the Spanish Inquisition drove the Jews from Spain and Portugal, across Europe Jews were persecuted because of their faith, the Nazi's brutally murdered more than 6,000,000 Jews during the Holocaust and, since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948,  our enemies have never stopped in the determination and efforts to destroy.  For Jews, the clenched fist against the Star of David send a message to those who sought to destroy us in the past and those who seek to destroy us today that we shall not give in, that we are strong, will remain strong and will not allow ourselves to be exiled or slaughtered as in the past.  

Christians around the world wear the Cross as a symbol of their faith and look to Jerusalem as the Holy city, the eternal city where Jesus preached and established his mission.  This unique pendant in 18 k. matte gold finish consists of a cross embracing a hand carved piece of Jerusalem stone – the same stone used to construct the Holy Temple thousands of years ago.  The perfect gift for that special person or even for yourself!

After the Great Flood, God commanded Noah to send forth a dove to seek out dry land.  According to tradition, the dove eventually returned carrying an olive branch – thus signifying that the Great Flood was over.  Over the ages, the dove and the olive branch have become a symbol of peace between men and nations.  It is also a symbol that symbolizes the State of Israel and the return of the Jewish People to their homeland after 2000 years of exile. 

The Book of Esther records one of the first attempts to destroy the people of Israel in the third year of Ahasuerus, a king of Persia in 486-465 BCE.  Traditionally read during the Purim Festival, the Book of Esther tells how Esther (Hadassah in Hebrew) thwarted Haman, the King's Prime Minister, in his plan to kill all the Jews. Esther is a reminder to each of us, that when you live your life pleasing to God, by obeying His will, you will find favor with Him.  God will also find favor with your people.  Just as Esther was chosen for such as time in History, you also may be chosen for such a time!  (Esther 4:14)

The grape and wine are one of the symbols of the Land of Israel and the Jewish people.  The blessing of the wine is an integral and important part of all Jewish ceremonies and events – weddings, births, bar and bat mitzvah and, the Shabbat. “Blessed art Thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.”

Available in both white and yellow gold finish
