Item Description:
As Jews, we have fought for millennia to survive and thrive in the face of oppression and antisemitism.
Mir Veln Zey Iberlebn (We Shall Outlive Them) is a powerful cry of Jewish resistance and indomitability. It is a commitment and a promise to outlast the forces of evil that seek to do us harm.
A symbol of protection and abundance, the Hamsa may also be interpreted as a reminder to keep your eye out for evil, danger and any negativity in your life.
This design is intended to act as a shield from antisemitism and all other forms of hate and negativity, while reminding the world that we are still here and we are still fighting.
May we be empowered to keep ourselves safe, and may we be empowered to look out for one another.

We Will Outlive Them - מיר װעלן זײ איבערלעבן
The story behind this Yiddish saying is a powerful story of Jewish resistance.
"In 1939, a group of Hasidic Jews from the Polish city of Lublin were backed up against barbed wire and ordered to sing to their own execution. One of the men began: “Lomir zich iberbetn, iberbetn, iberbetn” – “Let us reconcile…” But nobody joined him. Then he improvised: “Mir veln zey iberlebn, iberlebn, iberlebn” – “We will outlive them.” An eyewitness at the scene reported: “Instantly the song took hold among the entire people, until it catapulted [them] into a stormy and feverish dance.” The commander at first laughed, historian Moshe Prager writes, but then “he realized they weren’t accommodating him; they were defeating him. He ordered them to stop.” But they continued. Even when the SS troops charged at them, swinging whips and clubs." [Source]
