Hello to all of you,

Its wonderfull to read all those stories. When I was a little girl my mother and grand mother were saying the tfu tfu tfu and put a red ruban on me againt the bad eye. I grew up under (in hebreu) BLI AYIN HARA (without bad eye) or AL TIFTAH PE LA SATAN (dont open your mouth to the devil). Today I still do the same for my children or grand children.
All the best and shabat shalom
Anny Schäfer Chemla
