For the first three years of life, children absorb their parents’ love. Then, their education takes a leap-they are ready to produce and share their unique gifts. For a Jewish boy, this transition is marked with a haircutting ceremony-an “upsherin” (also called “upshernish” or “chalakah”)-on his third Jewish birthday. This is also the time when he begins to wear a kippah and tzitzit, the hallmarks of a Jewish male.
An important clue to the practice’s source is suggested by the fact that it was usually referred to as halaqah, from an Arabic word designating the cutting of hair. Indeed, examination of Middle Eastern folk practices reveals that offerings of hair were used for diverse religious purposes, including vicarious sacrifice, fulfillment of vows (in a manner reminiscent of the biblical nazir), or as a rite of passage. A ceremony called ‘Aqiqah is performed by many Muslims on the third, seventh or eighth day after a birth, and it is often associated with the baby naming. The ceremony normally included a ritual cutting of the infant’s first hair, alongside the offering of an animal sacrifice. Of especial relevance to our topic is the custom among Arab mothers of consecrating their children to God or to a saint in return for a safe childbirth. At some subsequent point in the lad’s life, his hair is ritually cut at a religious sanctuary or shrine as payment of the vow. Until the completion of the vow, it was forbidden to cut the child’s hair. This practice is attested among the Muslims of Safed.
Congratulations to this precious little boy on his Chalakah❤at King David Tomb.He looks so sweet in his kippah and tzitzit. Happy 3rd Birthday to him🍬🎈🎊🎶 Beautiful ceremony🎉🇮🇱💙🥰🎉Mazel tov
Shalom Zahi💚💚💚

The tradition of not cutting a young boys hair is not just Jewish. I have a portrait photo of my grandfather before his hair was cut, about 1900. Not only did he have long hair, he was in a lace dress. Why? Males had a higher infant mortality rate. It was thought that disguising male infants and young boys as girls would protect them from what ever took the lives of the very young boys. It was a celebration of life when the male child survived long enough for him to have his hair cut and to start wearing boys clothing.
They’re just not used to seeing a white man with a jerry curl ! 🤣
He had such beautiful hair. But congratulations for the boy.
I have missed your videos. They haven't been popping up like before. I am glad to be back. This video was so sweet. I knew that the boys had their hair cut on the third birthday and now I actually saw what it was like. Thank you! Stay safe 🙏🙏🙏

Zahi, the writer/film producer Joël Kramer said King Dawid's Tomb is outside the walls of old City of Dawid near to the Gihon Springs. Somewhere there! I saw a video about it.
Joel kramer is an archaeologist.

Beautiful sweet boy...tradition is tradition! ✡🧒
5:19 what's happening there?
The family is cutting his hair. They started from the grandparents and moved to his parents
🙏🌍🙏
WOW WOW WOW Now we see whose right
The ceremony where a three year old boy's hair is cut is called an *_"Upsherin."_* "Halacha" means to follow the commandments, it has nothing to do with this ceremony.
It does, as after the cutting he's commanded to follow them.
This tradition is also in the Arabic culture, Polynesian culture, and other cultures around the world. To know more one would need to go back to ancient days in the Middle East and elsewhere. Could it be that other cultures apart from Jewish and Arabic have borrowed the culture practices?
It came from Arabic culture
Isn't it when they have there hair cut for the first time 🤔
Yes
Do they have to pay the Rabbi?
Or is it a traditional obligation for the Rabbi?
They didn't pay.
That hairstyle with the ringlets is so crreeeepy looking.
What was Cher doing beside that kid?
Cher's ancestry comes from the Middle East so she looked like many people from that area.
Why do we call all people Jewish Are all the people in Israel from the tribe Judah
The term Jew has just become a colloquial term for Hebrew in modernity. Specific tribes are usually mentioned by name only when the reference requires a specific tribal identification.
The center of Jewish life was in Judea
@@BearTed1 That makes no difference. where are the 10 tribes they are not lost we are one CAUCASIAN PEOPLES
@@user-em1lh1ds9c Jews are of Semitic race. Ethiopian jews are definitely not caucasian, yet genetically related to all other jews. Also, I don't know what difference you are referring to- you asked whether Jews are called after the tribe of Judah, and I answered that the term Jews came from "Judea," the area/kingdom and not the tribe. The area itself was called after the tribe.
3 million rituals will not do it. God sees you pray evevyday ...it is the circumcision of the heart, not the skin. Jesus said...if you see me you see our Father. I believe that. My heart is so full of love and peace.
They are not Christians. Please except it.
The Jews will always be the Chosen people. God's promises are eternal. "1 What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? 2. Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God. 3. What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness? 4. Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. " Romans 3: 1-4.
Read Romans 11 and Zechariah 14.
You're not saying they are saved because they are jewish are you? They must be born again jew or not@verityhunt2913
@@JacobChallen I quoted Romans. That's it
@@verityhunt2913 he speaks about/to born again jews in one of the early churches. And like us He will be faithfull even when we are not always.
Upsherin is the Yiddish word for this ceremony. Derived from German/Yiddish for "to cut off) basically. What is the Hebrew word for this? To see the entire process. The peyos is created :) ruclips.net/video/kBwJM5KHYOc/видео.html
There is not an Hebrew name to it. Some call it Halaqe whitch is in Arabic
@@zahishaked So it is just a Yiddish term. I'm good with that. I love Yiddish :)
