I learned that if one interlocks his fingers when he puts his hands together, that it brings “din” down (chalila). Is this accurate and if so, can the Rav tell me the source of this? Thank you.
Answer:
Various sources in Kabbalistic works, indicate that one should be careful not to interlock fingers of his 2 hands as this represents or even brings some form of judgement on a person. This is mentioned by the Taz in his commentary to SHulchan Aruch O:C 95:3.
Sources:
See Zohar Vayikra 24a, Shaar Hamitzvos of the Arizal, begining of Parshas EIkev, Ben Ish Chai [Year 2, Parshas Pinchas 18], Zecher Asos [Mareches Aleph 82]
