Hi - My mother was given a beautiful golden Hamsa charm on a gold chain . She is a practicing Catholic but has several friends who are like family that are Jewish. She wants to know if her wearing the Hamsa is in anyway offensive to either the Jewish or Muslim people of today. I did read that as long as you know the meanings and respect it that is ok, But that was a google reply to the question, We wanted to ask you as a Jewish woman. Thanks so much!!! Kim
