Re: [Cz-L] more on "angsts"

Thanks Mimi, you are right...
But "do not go in socks without shoes" is based on Shiv-a, because if
somebody in the family died,the family is sitting on cushions or "Schemel"
and are going in socks, these supersttions were not only in Czernowitz..
Also against "Getoig" ayn ra, "by a Kimpeturn" a woman after given
birth), had " Talisman" on the bed, kabbalistic drawings, made bei a
Rebbe...
