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.

Community trip to Home Depot

Russian–American Jewish families joined Rabbi and Shula Winner directors of Neshama – Chabad Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach for a community trip to Home Depot.

“It gives the children the sense of responsibility and that satisfying feeling of trying something new,” said the Rabbi.

For some parents its their chance to show off to their children on how to use tools.

“What we are doing and reiterating at our programming is the importance of coming together as a community,” said Shula.
