Amulet for healing, ink on paper. Handwritten entirely [approx. 52 words] by the leading Kabbalist of the previous generation, the sage Yitzchak Kaduri, who was considered the greatest Kabbalistic expert in the world (possibly the last in the world) on writing amulets per the tradition of true Kabbalah. Thus, the amulets he wrote would work supernatural miracles.
Writing amulets for reorganizing nature is known by Jewish tradition from the beginning of time. In Midrashim it is even told about an amulet that hang on Avraham Avinu’s neck. Of course, in order for the amulet to work, it must be written according to Kabbalistic rules; otherwise, it is like an electronic device whose wires are incorrectly connected which of course cannot work. Therefore, only an amulet written by a true Kabbalist can indeed influence and work. The Babylonian Talmud in Tractate Shabbat (leaf 61b) sets clear rules for determining whether an amulet is effective (and is therefore permitted to be carried on one’s body even on Sabbath): “Rav Pappa said it is obvious to me in a case where three amulets were written for three people and effectively healed each three times that both the man who wrote them is proven an expert and the amulet is proven effective”. Rav Pappa also says that the Segulah of a used amulet (even if it was written for the need of another person) is greater than that of a new amulet, since then we have both virtues: of the expert who wrote it and of the amulet.
This is an amulet that was written by the greatest expert in the world, no one in recent generations meeting Rav Pappa’s definition of an expert better than him, after all not only three of his amulets proved effective, but thousands of amulets he had written in more than the hundred years of his life healed the sick, helped barren women become pregnant and reorganized nature.
In this amulet, Rabbi Kaduri specifies all the sicknesses the amulet is supposed to heal and protect against (actually, the amulet includes all sicknesses of body and mind): “By these Names may there be recovery from any sickness she has and any pain and aches and fear and damagers and evil spirit in the world and confusion of the mind (madness) and disease of the nerves and despair (depression) amen, may it be His will”. On the second half of the amulet, Rabbi Kaduri wrote dozens of Kabbalistic holy names which are in fact the spiritual force of the amulet, like a soul in a body.
