Why we love it
Mizpah literally translates to “watchtower” or “lookout”. It’s a place where one can observe and be aware of their surroundings
Beyond its literal meaning, Mizpah holds deeper symbolism. It represents a bond, an agreement, and a promise of protection, especially when people are separated
The Bible passage referenced in the seal, Genesis 31:49 is as follows:
‘And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another’
