Last week one of my friends give me a special gift, he went to Israel and stayed there for a month, he just back at home last week and give me a red thread , while he was tying the red thread  in my left hand, he told me a story about it  “I took this red thread from the Rachel’s Tomb , you have to ask for seven wishes while I do seven knots” – he said.

I was intrigued so I was looking for the Rachel’s tomb by internet, I have not found information about my red thread and my wishes… but I found that ;

Rachel's Tomb (Hebrew: קבר רחל‎ translit. Kever Rakhel), also known as the Dome of Rachel, (Arabic: قبة راحيل‎ translit. Qubbat Rakhil), is an ancient structure believed to be the burial place of the biblical matriarch Rachel. It is located just south ofJerusalem, on the outskirts of Bethlehem, West Bank.^[1] The earliest extra-biblical records regarding the tomb at this location date back to the beginning of the 4th century AD.

"tomb of the mother of the descendants of Israel"

Could someone help me and give me more information about my red thread… Im so curious about it … of course I asked for my wishes… and waiting for them... lol… my friend told me each time one of them became in real… a knot will break out… =O

Thank you so much.

Kisses …
