Open Unique Amulet Handwritten and Signed (!) by the Leading Kabbalist Rabbi Yehudah Ptayah


"The spirits were cautious around him ... there were people the doctors had given up on ... He would do tikkunim to them and actually revive the dead, who would live several more years" (the Rishon LeTziyon Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu)


One-of-a-kind amulet for a newborn and the new mother, like none other ever seen. Written in its entirety, from beginning to end, and signed by the leading Kabbalist of recent generations, the G-dly Kabbalist and wonder-worker, Rabbi Yehudah Ptayah, who would speak with the spirits as one person speaks to another, as told in his sefer, Ruchot Mesaprot. Jerusalem, c. 1930.


Text of the amulet: "May it be Your will ... that You protect and rescue the woman wearing [this, with a space to write the woman's name] from damagers and the like, evildoers, plagues, nights and spirits ... from fear and shock, from damage and illness, in Your great mercy, and send ... in her 248 limbs and 365 sinews ... and give milk to both her breasts. May both breasts be springs flowing with pure milk, and with abundant blessing, to nurse the child she gave birth to, for the sake of these sacred Names ... written by Yeudah Moshe Yeshuah Ptaya ..."


The second and main part of the amulet bears the sacred Names in vowelized Assyrian script, in Rabbi Yehudah Ptaya's stunning clear script. These Names are what gives the spiritual power to the amulet, like the soul in a body.


Very rare amulet, most unique. A true amulet, written by the leading Kabbalist of recent generations [per the testimony of Rabbi Yehudah Ptayah himself, who signs as "the writer"!] He signs his full name at the end of the manuscript, which makes this amulet all that much more powerful, as there is no comparison between a signed hashba'ah and one that is not signed.


Kabbalistic manuscripts by Rabbi Yehudah Ptayah are offered occasionally at auction. This is not just any Kabbalistic manuscript [which also has inestimable segulah value] but a true amulet written by Rabbi Ptayah for the purpose of protection and guarding, signed by him, which is obviously a different level of protection.


Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of Kabbalist Rabbi Yehudah Ptayah along with a discussion of writing amulets to overcome the natural order of the world.
