First Jewish Haircut by Rabbi Benzion Klatzko

I'm getting my haircut. Okay, Gabrielle is turning three. Welcome everybody to the upsharon of Gabrielle Ilio Nathaniel Clados. Gabrielle is the number five son of the clanskos number six out of seven. And this is um sentimental in a way that transcends an upsharon because uh Gabriel Elio was born a few months after my brother passed away and he was named he's named after my brother. Why do we do an upshar? An upshar is done at the age of three when a child first begins to recognize himself and his place and we want to make a clear separation when a child is very young. What's the first name? What's first word? Do you do you say I a lot? I like this and me and I and me. And we want to teach a child it's not all about I and it's not all about me. It's about us and about we and about you. So there the age of three when everyone comes we cut his hair and then what happens? You're going to get a haircut and a a pay and a what else? And are you excited? Yeah. I have to tell you all that out of all the Jewish celebrations, bar mitzvah and a bris and a wedding in a certain way, this is my favorite. This is a this is a celebration of growth. What you will see is after the haircut, he will change. All children do. He'll grow up a half a year in the next few minutes. So, it's pretty amazing. Watch before your eyes. Here we go. Ready? The first come a heck of a miracle, right? 100 people giving one haircut. [Applause] Say bye-bye. Okay. Please, Hashem. Let Ty give me a nice haircut.
