Mendel's Upshernish



An upshernish literately means a “hair cut” this is at a time when a boy turns 3 years old. Customarily we don’t cut a child’s hair for the first 3 years of a boy’s life we let it grow wild. When he turns 3 the time that formal Jewish education begins we cut his hair.

The custom is for family and friends to get together and celebrate this beautiful milestone. For Mendel, Rabbi Avrohom and Shula Winner’s son's upshernish, many from the Manhattan Beach and Brighton Beach communities joined in celebrating and giving their best wishes to the Rabbi and his wife.
