“Forget kissing the hand of a tzadik. There’s this new fab that some bochurim do that after they shake your hand they kiss their own hand as if you have some holy powers or something and it’ll transform itself to him. Man that is annoying!”
LemonySnicket- This is definatly NOT a new fab.It’s exactly what essy8 said. It is a sign of respect. It is not only done by the Persians but by the Sephardim in general.
