The Hamsa hand is a symbol used in amulets, charms, jewelry, door entrances, cars, and other places. An alternative Jewish name for it is the Hand of Miriam, in reference to Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron as well as the Hamesh Hand. It serves as an ancient talismanic way of averting and getting protection from the evil eye, or more generally of providing a "protecting hand" or "Hand of God". It appears, often in stylised form, as a Hamsa hand with three fingers raised, and sometimes with two thumbs arranged symmetrically

Hamsa hands are popular as Hamsa jewelry and decorations in Israel . Among Jews, fish are considered to be immune to the evil eye, so their images are often found on Hamsa hands. Hamsas are often made in the form of amulets, wall plaques, keychains, or motifs on other objects, and often feature doves. They are also frequently inscribed with Hebrew prayers depending on their use, such as the Sh'ma, the Birkat HaBayit (Blessing for the Home), or the Tefilat HaDerech (Traveler's Prayer).
