But this is not just any string. This is special string. What makes this string so amazing?
What makes this particular piece of string so special is, in part [emphasis mine], the fact that it has traveled to Israel, to the ancient tomb of Rachel the Matriarch, and returned, imbued with the essence of protection.
I assume the other part of the string's specialness is due to it being made from 100% high quality cotton, right here in the United States!
This overpriced yuppie item comes from Stereogum.

It looks like those Kabbalah red string bracelets... is it just me or is the Kabbalah trend in Hollywood more annoying than Scientology?

I was going to agree with you, Margaret, but then I ran about this $120 L. Ron Hubbard audiocassette.
At least Jon Travolta never changed his name to Esther, I guess...

Yikes. And it doesn't even have product information. Talk about blind faith.

Has it actually been wound round rachel's tomb?

I think they actually left it outside the tomb and then stood back, as an angelic choir sang and holy light covered it (a la The Sword in the Stone [quicktime movie] and several 1950s Biblical films). Then they picked it up, cut it into smaller pieces, and shipped it to the United States.

Martey is my personal hero, especially when he wears his google shirt and camo pants. He is really hot like that.
