Red String in Kabbalah Bracelets and Its Meanning

Kabbalah bracelets can come in many different types of bands, though a red thread is probably the most common. A red string holds a special meaning in Jewish tradition that can be traced back to the Holy Bible. While the Torah itself makes no mention of wearing a red thread around the wrist, it has become a custom to do so as a means of keeping harmful energy and entities at bay.

The Simple Red String Kabbalah Bracelet

The red string became symbolic after it was tied around Rachel’s tomb. Today, the tomb is a sacred spot believed to be the resting place of Rachel, who is the wife of Jacob and a prophet. The tomb is now considered a holy site and is visited by millions of Jews, Muslims and Christians every year.

The tradition of wearing a red thread has become customary and is worn as an amulet for spiritual blessings. In its most simplistic form, the string is just a plain red thread made from wool or yarn. However, overtime, the thread has taken a more elaborate appearance with many variations. What started off as a normal thread has evolved to a beautiful bracelet that can include all sorts of additional charms.

Modern Kabbalah Bracelets

The modern Kabbalah bracelet usually comes with at least one trinket, which would normally consist of a good luck charm like the hamsa hand or the evil eye. The Star of David, feng shui coin or peace sign are some other trinkets that are often included as well.

As for the band, red continues to be the most common color used, though black, blue and other colors are also becoming more commonplace. The band can be made from silk or some other form of elastic material. For an enhanced look, the string may be fitted with beads, pearls or gems. Other than thread, the band can also be made from a silver, copper or gold plated chain.

Despite a variety of bands, most people still opt for the traditional red thread because of its rich, symbolical meaning. While a Kabbalah bracelet has a nice visual look, its fashion appeal is secondary. Its primary purpose is to provide the wearer with a sense of security from the evil eye and misfortune. It also serves as a reminder for the wearer to live up to his or her faith by performing acts of charity and showing generosity, both of which are believed to be Rachel’s greatest virtues.
