Hamsa ben porat Josef wall hanging designed by the israeli artist Shraga Landesman

Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall (Genesis 49:22, King James Version)
This is the blessing Jacob gives to Joseph before his death. We find this verse written on amulets from the first century, and with good reason. In Talmudic times, Talmudic sages taught that Joseph and his descendants were protected against the Evil Eye; that is, the Evil Eye has no power over them. The Talmud compares Joseph’s descendants to fish in the sea—the water covers them, so the Evil Eye can’t control them. So it is for Joseph’s descendants, too: the Evil Eye can’t control them.

A designed wall hanging by the israeli artist Shraga Landesman.

The main design and the story of this necklace comes by a quote from the bible (“Cast thy bread upon the waters”) in a circle pendant that hang on body by a silver chain.

“Cast thy bread upon the waters” (Ecclesiastes 11:1, King James);
This is the advice of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes). We can interpret this advice literally, as throwing bread on the surface of the water so the fish become accustomed to approaching the shore. Then we can catch them.
However, most interpretations teach us that Kohelet is advising us to do good deeds for others, without expecting anything in return.
