An experiment in blei-geissen for the new year - happy 2022!

Blei-geissen is both, a German and Jewish thing. For Hasidic Jews, it’s a process of ridding a person of the evil eye. For German’s, it’s a New Years ritual where you divine your upcoming years fortune based on how the lead takes shape.

Here is a blog post I wrote (and reference) on blei-geissen and lead levels in the Hasidic community.
