I just checked with Rabbi O'Neil and he says

" symbol is used as a protective amulet by both Jews and Muslims. The Jewish name, Hamsa, is derived from the Semitic root meaning "five." It is called the Hand of Fatima by Muslims, named for the daughter of Mohammed. It is usually worn around the neck or hung on walls or over doors."

he is a pretty smart dude.

yeah basically keeps "the evil eye" away

too bad it doesnt keeps assholes like SEObot away.

rofl, nice new sig Juicy :D

no

I believe the answer to that question is:

Irrelevant.

I use my weenie to ward off all evil spirits, all I need to do is show that, and everyone either falls down laughing, or runs in shear terror.... so thanks for the idea, but I am covered.:thumbsup

seems to be 5=five in arabic ...

being a sephardic jew, most of the men in my family wear one with the star of david... :P

all the correct answers had already been given

It means "five" in arabic, and believed to keep bad luck away and such..

do a google image search and you'll find a bunch of pretty hamsas ;)



btw, seobot, die you fucking idiot :321GFY

That's what my red string is for too.
