Most women, based on my own informal experience, have no clue that kiddushin utilizes the right index finger until they are preparing for their own wedding. The reasoning behind putting wine on the left ring finger should be obvious, since women always wear their engagement/wedding ring there. Thus, the kavannah behind the segulah is simply to be in a wedded state of being, irrespective of the halachic mechanism that creates the chalos of kiddushin.Shades of Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733139852424935591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-65543448718882723592011-01-23T19:51:22.366-05:002011-01-23T19:51:22.366-05:00To be fair, if the real segulah IS indeed the righ...To be fair, if the real segulah IS indeed the right index finger to reflect a symbolic wishful kiddushin, I am in error. I thought I saw my Rav raise and indicate his left ring finger, to emphasize an engagement ring, but I could be mistaken. I was sitting a number of rows back when he made the gesture, but he did not verbally specify one finger over another.Shades of Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733139852424935591noreply@blogger.com
