Re: [Cz-L] Cohen & Cohen

Shula, try joining the four fingers of each hand in pairs ,
finger 1 and two then an interval then 3 and four.
 This is how the Cohanim used to do their blessing.
  The story goes that only the Cohanim were able to do the trick.
   The Cohanim test.
    When I was little I was fascinated by the story and practiced
     for a long time until I half- way succeeded.
    I came running to Mutti shouting : I did it, I am a Cohen !
     Mutti was little impressed by this performance.

Dear all,

What is the significance of the hands? Can someone tell me?

Warm wishes to all,

Shula
