I don't often use kineynehore but I often think it. I still put my clothes
on on the right side and step three times if I by mistake did so, my
daughter says Hamsa Hamsa which has the same meaning but is Israeli for
kineynehore and I agree. NO ONE has yet proven what happens if one doesn't
so I feel BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.
Shabbat Shalom,
anny
