Upshernish: The First Haircut - Hardcover

by Dovber Pinson (Author)

The upsherin ceremony is a joyous celebration of a boy's first haircut. In this updated version of Upshernish, Rav Pinson explores the varied aspects of this rite of passage. The deeper significance of hair, and its connection with gender and life stages is thoroughly examined as is the upsherin ceremony itself. In Rav Pinson's trademark style, profound yet accessible, no stone is left unturned in the discovery of meaning and relevance in an age old custom. Upshernish: The First Haircut also includes a practical guide to conducting an Upsherin ceremony.
