According to the Kabbalah the Red String is a symbolic Amulet/charm that brings good luck and protection to the wearer against all bad - the evil eye symbolizes that, in order to prevent any illness, poverty, accidents or other misfortunes. According to the tradition it is desirable to take the red string to (our mother) Rachel's Tomb near Bethlehem and Jerusalem, and wound around the tomb for 7 times, to endow the red string mystical powers
Kabbalah is a mystical spiritual branch of Judaism, founded around 2nd century CE after the 2nd destruction of the holy Temple in Jerusalem, when the Romans ruled the country, by the "Rashbi" - Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai from the Galilee, who wrote the sacred book of the Zohar. The Kabbalah is nicknamed "the logic of the unknown" and deals with Biblical texts, numbers and symbolic signs of Judaism. in recent years it gains more popularity worldwide, with famous people like Madonna, Ashton Kutcher and others showing interest in the Kabbalah and Judaism. The Zohar book was concealed for many centuries, as the study of the Kabbalah was restricted to a select few qualified individuals. It became revealed only in the thirteenth (13) century CE and published by one of the leading kabbalists living in Spain, Rabbi Moshe de Leon.
The Hamsa or Khamsa hand symbol is an ancient and powerful symbol in many cultures, believed to bring good luck and protection from misfortune and evil. Also known as Hand of God, Hand of Miriam. An alternative Islamic name for this charm is the Hand of Fatima or Eye of Fatima, in reference to Fatima Zahra, the daughter of Muhammed. An alternative Jewish name for it is the Hand of Miriam, in reference to Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron as well as the Hamesh Hand. It serves as an ancient talismanic way of averting and getting protection from the evil eye, or more generally of providing a "protecting hand" or "Hand of God". It appears, often in stylised form, as a hand with three fingers raised, and sometimes with two thumbs arranged symmetrically
