Many Jews believe that the five fingers of the hamsa hand remind its wearer to use their five senses to praise God. The Hamsa Hand is popular as a charm most often worn as a necklace. The renewed interest in Kabbalah and mystical Judaism is a factor in bringing the Hamsa hand pendant back in fashion. In Judaism, Hamsa Hands and Fishes represent luck and fertility.
