Answer 1

Never heard of it. And I'm Jewish.

Answer 2

Well, it's not precisely the FIRST thing you should do..but you should definitely have it in your home if you're religously Jewish; it's not really against the community or anything...just a Jewish custom.

Probably the first thing would be to put a Mezuza on your door-ways. (A Mezuza is something you put up against every doorway of a Jewish home, which is supposed to protect you from any harm. It has a piece of parchment inside with a prayer made to protect you, that you also say every night.)

Oh Yea! Just a "side-fact": It's a Jewish custom to kiss the Mezuza every time you go through the doorway.

Answer 3

I have never heard this and I've been a religious Jew all my life. But it's possible that that is someone's personal custom.

Answer 4

i gotta say as a religious jew who has moved a few times, i've never heard of that

Answer 5

I thought the first thing the jews did before they moved was look for loose change in the sofa cushions?
