The Almighty Shin

Posted on January 21 by Sew Jewish

Hebrew letter shin embroideredShalom! The Hebrew letter that starts the word shalom, shin, often appears in Jewish design, particularly on ritual objects like tefillin boxes and mezuzah scroll covers. When used in Judaica, it traditionally stands for one of the names of God, Shaddai, which means Almighty.

Shalom, Shin!
