Many Kabbalah jewelry pieces feature Hebrew inscriptions. A large portion of these inscriptions include three letter Hebrew sequences. These sequences, known as the 72 Names of God, are used by the Kabbalah as a spiritual tool that might help us promote positive changes in life. The Jewish mystical school of thought , each of the 72 Names has its own unique energetic channel.

What is the origin of the 72 Names of God?
The origins of the 72 Names of God are found in the Torah. According to the Kabbalah, the bible is an encrypted text with many layers that lie within every word and letter. The 72 Names are of God 72 three-letters combinations that taken out from Exodus 14: 19-21 if you look for the English translation, you will not see the meaning but not how it appears which resembles great importance. You should keep in mind thus that the 72 names are linked to the Hebrew alphabet and so are lost in translation .

The 72 names of God are derived from of the Exodus chapter by writing the three verses one above the other without spaces. At the same time the middle one is written backwards.

The 72 Names and their purpose
The Kabbalah uses the 72 Names of God to promote changes in various aspects of life such as success, fertility, love and health. Each three letters signify one of God’s names holding great potency. Thus, many men and women wear different kinds of Kabbalah Jewelry pieces that are inscribed with one or more of these names. Usually, the piece with the inscribed name is usually according to the person’s needs, wishes and difficulties.

Many Kabbalah jewelry pieces are inscribed with the name Aleph-Lamed-Dalet. The Aleph-Lamed-Dalet sequence is believed ward-off the Evil Eye by fighting negative energies.
Another example is the sequence Samech-Aleph-Lamed, a name used by the Kabbalah for prosperity and success.

Finally, the name Yod Lamed Yod is good for people who wish to regain lost hope and fight overcoming fatigue and despair.

A Sheva brachot Jewish ring beautifully signifies the Jewish wedding. When a Jewish person is getting married they will most commonly recite the Seven Blessings or in Hebrew the Sheva Brachot.  A Jewish wedding includes being together in God (betrothal) and making sure that the two are legally bonded in marriage.  In the past both the betrothal and the marriage were separated by a time period of thirty to thirty-one days but now for the most part both are done at the same time in the wedding

The Jewish marriage ceremony takes place under a tent for the couple and is called the Chuppah.  The Chuppah symbolizes the home that the couple will have together.  The ceremony takes place with the husband to be and wife to be standing with their parents.   The Rabbi is traditionally the one to do the ceremony.

Sheva Brachot in Jewish Tradition

The Sheva Brachot are recognized as being prayers that are used in a wedding.  In Judaism a wedding is a sacred union between two individuals as one couple to the people in attendance at the wedding.  The marriage ceremony for the Jewish couple is very important and has a lot of history to why it is done the way it is done.  The wedding has a lot of symbolic importance and traditions that show that the couple is now one unit in body and religiously speaking, as well as signing the Ketubah.

In the past the Seven Blessings were said in the husband’s home and also at the home of where the wife was the night before she got married.  Some Jewish cultures still do these practices while most do not at this time.  Most Jewish sects say the Seven Blessings at the end of the wedding ceremony.  These prayers signify the union of love between the two and union of love between the couple and God. During the wedding the couple will complete a document called the Ketuba which signifies the legal aspect of the couple being united.

Shava Brachot at the Ceremony

The couple says a prayer over wine and the couple share the same cup.  Next the husband to be has the ring out and says that he and his wife to be are connected and are now one couple.  After the first cup of wine another glass of wine is set up and the Seven Blessings are said. Most often the Rabbi who does the ceremony will say these prayers but sometimes a person will be invited up to do these blessings.   The prayers are done if there are ten or more guys present to do them.  These prayers are often times said in both English and Hebrew for the wedding ceremony.

The Seven Blessings come from the Bible, and other Jewish sayings, and thoughts.  No one is quite sure who put the blessings together.  The Seven Blessings date back to the time of the Talmud but were thought to be around long before the Talmud was written.
