MIZPAH

Editor:

Mizpah is an emotional bond between people who are separated (either physically or by death). Mizpah jewelry is worn to signify this bond, and the word "mizpah" can often be found on headstones in cemeteries and on other memorials. From Genesis 31:49 of the Bible

"And Mizpah; for he said, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another."
