Chai (symbol)
Chai ((ヘブライ語:חַי) "living" ') is a Hebrew word that figures prominently in modern Jewish culture; the Hebrew letters of the word are often used as a visual symbol.
According to the secular, socialist affiliated ''The Jewish Daily Forward'', its use as an amulet is very recent, originating in stories from 18th century Eastern Europe first used in amulets from the mid 20th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Exploring 'Chai' Culture )〕
Chai as a symbol goes back to medieval Spain at the earliest. Letters as symbols in Jewish culture go back to the earliest Jewish roots, the Talmud states that the world was created from Hebrew letters which form verses of the Torah. In medieval Kabballah, Chai is the lowest (closest to the physical plane) emanation of God. According to 16th century Greek rabbi Shelomo Hacohen Soloniki, in his commentary on the Zohar, Chai as a symbol has its linkage in the Kabalah texts to God's attribute of 'Ratzon', or motivation, will, muse.〔Sheat Ratzon al ha-Zohar 35〕 The Jewish commentaries give an especially long treatment to certain verses in the Torah with the word as their central theme. Three examples are Leviticus 18 וָחַי בָּהֶם 'Chai Bahem', 'and you shall live by (faith )' (as opposed to just doing it), this is part of the section dealing with the legacy of Moses Our Teacher following his death. Deuteronomy 31:9 " רְאֵה נָתַתִּי לְפָנֶיךָ הַיּוֹם, אֶת-הַחַיִּים וְאֶת-הַטּוֹב, וְאֶת-הַמָּוֶת, וְאֶת-הָרָע.
