Hi Marty, I am well familiar with the Chai symbol, I have many on necklaces left to me by my mother. This symbol and what it stands for is an important part of our heritage, my family being immigrants from Russia, Prussia and Poland prior to the holocaust. My mother was a life warrior in her own right...having suffered for 33 years, and having lost her only sibling at a very young age, from Crohn's disease. She fought a good fight and was always the strongest person I knew. I lost her ten years ago at a very young 68 years of age, and miss her very much. In times when my struggle seems insurmountable I draw on the strength I remember from my mother. The Chai reminds us that no matter what the hardship, as long as we have breath, we have life. l'chaim!
