Shnayim Yomi - Vayakhel-Pekudei - Chamishi - #5 - Rabbi Eli Kadi - The Choshen of the Kohen Gadol

Vayakhel Pekudei Chamishi The Torah tells us about the making of big day corner. The beautiful clothing that the Kohain Gadol wore the Ephod which was on top of all his clothing and on top of that went the Hoshen. And on the shoulder straps was the Avnei Shoham. The Avnei Shoham had all the names of the Shevatim in it, six on this side, six on that side. It was with put into a gold frame. And then we had the Hoshen that the Kohain Gadol wears and all the stones that were on it. There's a very interesting Rabbeinu Bachya. He says that each of those stones had a power segulah. Each of those stones has something special to it. For instance, the ruby is very good for a lady that is expecting that she should wear on it. Like that, it gives her strength for the baby. He says every single one has a power. Now, a Kohain that went and wore that with his pure heart, that power went all Klal Yisrael, all the brachot from there went to all Klal Yisrael.
