In a video that is now gaining traction, Bloomberg journalist Emily Chang asks him, “Tell me about the necklace.”
“Oh, this?” replies Zuckerberg as he looks at his necklace and holds it.
“This is something that I worked with a designer to make that has engraved on it the prayer that I sing to my daughters every night when I put them to bed. It’s a Jewish prayer called Mi Shebeirach. And it’s basically a prayer for health and courage,” he reveals.
He also shares that the prayer says, “May we have the courage to make our lives a blessing.”

“And I just think that’s like, and I’ve sung it to them basically every night of their lives since they were born, unless I’m travelling out or something. But I try to be around for bedtime. That’s kind of my thing when I hang out with the kids. It’s just it’s meaningful for me and our family,” he further expresses.
