JAI PENDANT MEDAL IN SILVER WITH STEEL CHAIN
MEASURES 3 X 3 CM (FRONT)
APPROXIMATE WEIGHT 8.5 GR


A fundamental word for understanding Judaism is Chai, which means Life. The word is formed from two letters of the Hebrew alphabet: chet (ה) and yod (ה), which together form the word “chai,” meaning “alive” or “life.” It is often used as a good luck charm, such as a medallion around the neck, similar to other Jewish symbols like the Star of David and the Hamsa. Furthermore, the expression used to toast with it is “l’chaim,” meaning “to life.”
This year that has just begun we will see it everywhere, since according to the gematria system, the letters of chai add up to 18. Because of its spiritual power, many Jews give gifts of money in multiples of 18.


The expression can be heard in a BBC recording from April 20, 1945, of Jewish survivors of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, five days after their liberation, at the first Shabbat celebration held openly on German soil since the beginning of the war. In the recording, the survivors sing what would become the Israeli national anthem, “Hatikvah.” At the end of the song, the British Army chaplain, Rabbi Leslie Hardman, shouts: “Am Yisrael Chai!” (“The people of Israel live!”)

It's How Wars End That Become Important Afterward
Format: Paperback
The twentiety century taught us a lot about wars and how they end. World War I showed us that making strong demands on the defeated (who didn't admit defeat to their own people) set the stage for the next big war. World War II was fought until the Unconditional Surrender of the Germans and Japanese. Something that thinkers still debate as having made them fight all that harder. VietNam was fought with no clear end in sight, and "another VietNam" entered our language. The first Gulf War was ended when Colin Powell and Bush II debated how to end the war. They stopped before they had to go in and see what the Sunni's, Shiite's and Kurds made of the power vacuum left by the removal of Saddam would have created. Bush II is learning about this now. This is the second revised edition of this book, originally published in 1971 and then updated in 1991 and now 2005 to reflect happenings in new wars. Still some of the old wars had interesting insights that I didn't know before, such as how Finland, originally on Germany's side against Russia, made a peace with Russia and kicked the Germans out before they became a Russian province. Great Book.

Complementary readings
Format: Paperback
There are already three good reviews so I will only suggest reading the following books instead of, or in addition to, this peculiar work: a) "War in human civilization" by Azar Gat; b) "War before Civilization. The Myth of the Peaceful Savage", by Lawrence Keeley; c) "How War Began" by Keith F. Otterbein; d) "War and Peace and War: The Rise and Fall of Empires" by Peter Turchin; and e) "War and the Law of Nations: A General History" by Stephen Neff.
