Red string worn to ward off misfortune

Wearing a thin scarlet or a crimson string (Hebrew: חוט השני, khutt hashani) as a type of talisman is a Jewish folk custom which is practiced as a way to ward off misfortune which is brought about by the "evil eye" (Hebrew: עין הרע). The tradition is popularly thought to be associated with Kabbalah and religious forms of Judaism. The red string itself is usually made from thin scarlet wool thread. It is worn as a bracelet or band on the left wrist of the wearer (understood in some Kabbalistic theory as the receiving side of the spiritual body), knotted seven times. The person has to knot it seven times while saying the kabbalah bracelet prayer.

In relation to traditional beliefs [ edit ]

Red strings around the wrist are common in many folk beliefs;[1] for example the kalava is a Hindu version. There is no written mention in the Torah, Halacha, or Kabbala about tying a red string around the wrist. It seems to be a custom that has been around since at least the early 1900s.[1]

Biblical history [ edit ]

A scarlet thread, tied about the wrist, is mentioned in Genesis 38. Tamar becomes pregnant by her father-in-law, Judah, and gives birth to twin boys. The following verses about this event are taken from the King James Bible:

Genesis, chapter 38:

27 – And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb. 28 – And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. 29 – And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez. 30 – And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.[2]

Modern trend [ edit ]

Today in Israel, it is common to see elderly women peddling scarlet thread for pilgrims and tourists, especially in the Old City of Jerusalem.[3][4] Outside of Israel in the late 1990s the red string became popular with many celebrities, including many non-Jews including Madonna and her children, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Michael Jackson, and later by Ariana Grande.[5][6][7][8] The wider popularity is often linked to Philip Berg's Kabbalah Centre.[9][10] It also gained a surge in sales for Madonna according to editors of Changing Fashion: A Critical Introduction to Trend Analysis and Cultural Meaning (2007).[11]

What does a loose bra strap mean?

The straps are not adjusted properly. You are wearing a bra with an incorrect cup or band size. You are wearing a bra style that isn't suit to your figure. The bra has aged and lost its elasticity within its straps.

If your straps are adjusted to the right length and are still falling off, then it may be a larger fit issue beyond just the straps. The first problem could fall within the cup size. The most common cup issue that accompanies falling bra straps is a gaping cup. If you notice a space between the top of your cup and your breast then going down in cup size could be the solution to your falling straps. On the other hand, the more common fit issue that causes the bra straps to fall is wearing an incorrect band size. Bra straps are set wider in the back in larger band sizes to accommodate larger busts. As the band size decreases, the straps are set closer together in the back for smaller busts. If the straps are too far apart, then they will be prone to falling off. Try going down in a band size to help keep the bra straps from falling. Don’t forget that as you adjust band size, the cup size will need to be adjusted as well. For example, if you decrease your band size the cup size increases, as in going from a 36C to a 34D. Keeping this in mind will ensure you keep the same cup volume.
