Jewish rite of passage clips hair, welcomes son into age of intellect

MAKING THE CUT: Three-year-old Sholom
Deitsch watches as a stranger cuts a lock of
his hair during his upshernish celebration,
which signifies the introduction of the bo
into Jewish education and practice.

When the long line of amateur barbers had finished giving Sholom his first haircut, the left side of his shaggy mane looked ravaged, but plenty more hair awaited a professional barber to finish the job later in the day.

Through it all, Sholom sometimes squirmed on his high, white throne, but showed restraint through the whispered injunctions from his mom.
