Elvis
-- His mother also claimed a
Jewish heritage since her
grandmother was Jewish, something
Elvis was aware of since he was a
young child. Because of this,
Elvis had a star of David placed
on her tombstone. He also wore a
necklace with a "chai" symbol on
it and gave often to Jewish
charities in the Memphis area. |

Karat: A
unit of measure for the fineness of gold,
equal to 1/24 part. Pure gold is 24 karat. |

This symbol,
commonly seen on necklaces and other
jewelry and ornaments, is simply the
Hebrew word Chai (living), with the two
Hebrew letters Chet and Yod attached to
each other. Some say it refers to the
Living G-d. Judaism as a religion is very
focused on life, and the word chai has
great significance. The typical Jewish
toast is l'chayim (to life). Gifts to
charity are routinely given in multiples
of 18 (the numeric value of the word
Chai). |
