What is an Upshernish?
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.
What is a Hanochos Tefillin?
It is hard to believe, but Yossi will be Bar Mitzvah in a little over two months. It is customary for young men to begin wearing Tefillin during morning prayers two months before their Bar Mitzvah and the first time they get to perform this special Mitzvah we make a celebration with family and friends.
