The Hamsa has a long history in Jewish tradition and throughout the Middle East. It has been seen as a way to invoke the protective hand of God and as an amulet to protect against the Ayin HaRah (the Evil Eye), while some Hamsas have an eye in the center to represent the ever watchful Eye of God. Other Hamsas have the image of fish. Why fish? Because fish don't have eyelids, it was believed that the Evil Eye couldn't penetrate water.
Our Repair the Sea Hamsa has our logo at the center and is made from recycled plastic bottles, to show our commitment, as Jews, to protecting the water and the aquatic environment that protects us.
Makes a great gift for friends and family members!
Made in-house by Tikkun HaYam from recycled plastic water bottles. Each Hamsa removes two plastic water bottles from the environment.
Hamsa
A million plastic bottles are purchased every minute.
These water bottles are discarded and end up in landfills or our ocean.
It is estimated that by 2050, 12 billion metric tons of plastic will end up in landfills and the ocean will contain more plastic by weight than fish.
Keep a single use water bottle out of the Sea by purchasing this unique Tikkun HaYam Hamsa.
Because these Hamsas are made in-house one at a time, individual products are not identical, and unique imperfections are to be expected.
