Each of these objects has a significance in Jewish culture and in my life. I selected these object because they were so relatable to objects that i own, being Jewish myself. I have jewelry with the Hamsa, I have placed a Torah shield on a Torah, my mother and grandmother always light their Sabbath candlesticks, and I have my own Kiddush cup from my Bat Mitzvah.
