Photos: Young Shliach Says Goodbye to His Curls

Contra Costa Times

Rabbi Raleigh Resnick has his 3-year old son recite the Shema prayer.

Yankele Resnick, 3, of Pleasanton, California, took part in his Upshernish, an ancient Jewish tradition where a boy’s hair is cut for the first time on his third birthday, on Thursday, May 10, 2012.

It marks the start of his formal introduction to Jewish education.

It is at this time that a Jewish boy begins to perform mitzvahs, learn prayers, and develop a love towards God, the Torah and his Jewish heritage.
