Each piece of our merchandise carries more than just a design—much like the Jewish culture it carries symbolism and meaning. Our brand stamp, an embroidered symbol featuring the number 18, represents our unwavering commitment to the values that define us.
In Jewish tradition, the number 18 is deeply tied to the Hebrew word Chai (חַי), which means "life." More than just a number, it symbolizes vitality, health, and the essence of life itself. The number 18 is seen as a blessing—representing prosperity, good health, and happiness not just for individuals, but for the community. It’s a central part of Jewish customs, such as giving charity in multiples of 18 to honor life and celebrate milestones with the hope of continued joy and vitality.
It is a symbol with deep-rooted significance. It serves as a reminder of our core values: life, vitality, and the pursuit of goodness. It reflects our commitment to honoring Jewish tradition and culture, while inspiring us to live with purpose, intention, and connection to something greater than ourselves.
The number 18 is also significant in Jewish charity, or tzedakah, where donations are often made in multiples of 18 to wish others a blessed life. At Olam Place, this tradition is integral to who we are. A portion of every sale supports initiatives that combat antisemitism, promote equality, and help make the world a better place.
Our brand stamp is a call to action—a reminder that life is meant to be lived with purpose and compassion, and that every act of goodwill, no matter how small, contributes to the betterment of the world and most importantly that your Judaism in any form you choose to embrace is with you whenever you go.
When you wear Olam Place, you carry with you the message of Chai—life, health, and prosperity—and the reminder that every step you take can contribute to repairing the world.
Join us at Olam Place. Embrace life, celebrate tradition, and live with purpose.
