Declutter Your Home Before New Year's For Good Luck, Say Traditions

Popular traditions suggest decluttering homes before the New Year by discarding broken items, old clothes, and cracked dishes to attract good luck and financial prosperity. This pre-holiday cleaning ritual, particularly observed by immigrants from former Soviet countries in Israel, involves clearing out clutter from closets, kitchens, and document drawers. The practice is rooted in the belief that physical clutter symbolizes stagnation and hinders financial well-being. A tidy home is thought to open the door to wealth and better times.
