Description
xParty Kit to celebrate the first haircut of the Jewish boy (UPSHERNISH) at 3 (numeric value of the letter Gimmel) years old.
What Is an Upshernish?
It is a time-hallowed Jewish tradition to allow a boy’s hair to grow untouched for the first 3 years of life.
On his third Jewish birthday, friends and community members are invited to a festive haircutting ceremony: the upshernish (“shearing”) in Yiddish, or chalakah in Hebrew.
Some communities, particularly Sephardic ones, delay the upshernish to, varyingly, ages four, five, six, and even seven.
Why Specifically at Age Three?
When a child turns 3 (three), his father is obligated to teach him how to read the Torah and follow its directives.
The upshernish is also an educational ceremony, guiding the child in the observance of a new mitzvah.
Some deduce that the Torah hints to age three as the proper time for a child’s first haircut, based on the verse where the word Vehitgalach - “And he shall shave his hair” is written with the letter gimmel enlarged, since the numeric value of the letter gimmel is 3 (three).
By celebrating the upsherin with joy and fanfare, we demonstrate to the child that a life directed by Torah and mitzvot is a joyous one and this will bring us to the fulfillment of the verse, “Educate a child according to his way, [so that] even when he grows old, he will not turn away from it”, also.
