The hamsa is the symbol of an extended hand and literally means “fivefold” (from “chamesh”, five); it is usually drawn artificially stylized so that thumb and pinky are identical lengths and the hand is symmetrical rather than left or right. 

Hamsa - Its first meaning is the extending of one’s hand toward another, in a gesture of peace, blessing, and fellowship. From this meaning is derived (by drash) its symbolism for communal prayer, one for another, and particularly the two prayers of initiation and restoration. From these meanings are derived its use as a symbol of welcome (initiation) and of healing (restoration), including physical healing. However, the power of the universal gesture is that the universal energy field, which works through order rather than force, is most easily transmitted through the hands. From this fact is derived the principle that smikhah (the “laying on of hands”) can physically confer benefits. It takes from what belongs to the givers (status, authority, and leadership among others, health, vitality, and peace within oneself) and transmits it to the receiver.
