3This question would be much more valuable and answerable if you'd include information about what this book is, who wrote it, etc., as well as whatever you can say about where you heard about the idea for which you're seeking an origin. – Isaac Moses Jun 12 '14 at 14:23

1I assume the origin is the guys who wanted to sell them as key chains. They were partnering with the red string dealers. – Y e z Jun 12 '14 at 17:40

@IsaacMoses I don't think he knows that either....http://judaism.stackexchange.com/q/40281/5323 was asked by him at around the same time.... – MTL Jun 12 '14 at 17:58

@Shokhet could you please summarize what Rabbi Shachter says there about this issue? – Jewels Jun 13 '14 at 09:10

@Jewels He doesn't say anything about Raziel Hamalach, sorry, should've been clearer about that....see http://judaism.stackexchange.com/a/38415/5323 – MTL Jun 13 '14 at 13:15

1IMHO (until someone teaches me otherwise) this is one of those things that doesn't make sense, and may therefore be an issur d'oraysa – MTL Jun 13 '14 at 13:16

But seriously @Jewels , I really should have been clearer about what I meant, and for that I apologize – MTL Jun 13 '14 at 13:19
