Your Questions About the Authentic Red String, Answered

We often receive questions about the history and proper use of the Red String. Here are the most common inquiries:

What is the Red String made of?

Authentic Red Strings are cut in Jerusalem from spools of 100% natural red wool. These spools undergo a special energetic charging ceremony at the Western Wall. Before tying, it's crucial to ensure your string is wool; a true wool thread will not ignite when singed. Beware of imitations; synthetic, silk, or twisted threads will not offer the same benefits.

What is the proper length for a genuine Red String?

Following centuries of tradition, the consecrated spools are cut into individual strings measuring 28-30 cm (approximately 11-12 inches).

Can I add pendants to my Red String?

No. Attaching any pendant to the Red String is believed to obstruct the free flow of protective energy through it. Do not place any additional amulets or charms on the Red String.

What should I do with the remaining ends after tying?

After the tying ceremony, simply wrap the ends along the string itself. After 7 days, you may trim them. The trimmed pieces can then be discarded.

Should I make wishes when tying the String?

The Red String is not a magic wand or a genie. An authentic String from Jerusalem, possessing potent energy, can help you realize your desires in manifestation. However, during the tying ritual itself, wishes are not to be made.

How long should I wear the String, and what if it gets lost?

The duration the string remains on your wrist is highly individual. If your String falls off, it indicates that it has expended its protective energy, and you should tie a new one.

Which wrist should the Red String be tied on?

The String must always be worn on the left wrist.

Can I tie the Red String myself?

Self-tying is not recommended. A portion of the energy is believed to be lost if the ritual is not fully performed by another.

Can the Red String be tied on small children?

The protective qualities of the Red String are especially vital for small children, serving as an amulet against the evil eye and negative influences. When tying the String on infants, ensure the remaining ends cannot reach the child's mouth.

Can I recite a different prayer when tying the String?

During the ritual, it is customary to recite the Ben Porat prayer, spoken in its original Hebrew. Reciting other prayers is not recommended.

Do you offer colored strings?

There is no mention of multi-colored strings in the sacred texts. If you visit Jerusalem, you will find no other threads than the Red String of Protection.

The Tying Ritual: Step-by-Step Guide

For the Red String to fully impart its protective energy, it's essential to follow the traditional tying ritual:

1. The Red String should be tied on the left wrist with seven knots.

2. This must be done by a very close, loving person who genuinely wishes you well and no harm.

3. While tying the string, it is recommended to recite the protective "Ben Porat" prayer.

4. First, wrap the string around the left wrist and tie a simple knot.

5. After this, make six more knots, for a total of seven.

6. During this ritual, the person receiving the Red String makes a solemn promise to refrain from negative thoughts and words towards others. The sincerity of this promise strengthens the protection and is an integral part of the ritual.

Embrace the ancient tradition and spiritual connection that the authentic Red String from Rachel's Tomb offers. It's a timeless symbol of protection, blessing, and positive energy for your journey.
