A Ritual For Cheshvan
Tying red thread around your wrist is an ancient Kabbalistic ritual to ward off the evil eye, or, in the case of this month, deep seated thoughts and beliefs that hold you back from becoming your truest self. This ritual is connected to Rachel, whose death occurred in this month, and whose tomb was annually wound in red thread seven times.
Well Circle Activity
In the spirit of staying grounded and true to Rosh Hashana promises, bring a ball of red string and a pair of scissors to this month’s Well Circle. Have each participant tie a length around her wrist and knot it seven times to ward off jealousy and any negative moments. Every time you look at it, allow the string to bring you back to your intentions for proactive self-improvement this month.
