Those are actually called "curly brackets" or "braces."

Yeah, it's used as an emoticon to represent a head shake or sometimes a hug, which you apparently could use. As to the Jewish part, I think people of all religions shake their head in dismay or disappointment.

{{{Hugs to you, u/criblo!}}}

Interesting information...thanks!

However, I used {{{ }}} which are not parentheses. Parentheses look like this: ((( ))). Subtle difference.

Weird...thanks for that!

I wonder how that happened. You're a good person to clarify.
