  • On the 3rd birthday of an Orthodox Jewish boy he has his first ever hair cut in a ceremony called an Upsherin leaving his peyos (sideburns) to grow. Passing a mirror in his hallway this is the first moment he ever sees himself with short hair and a kippah on his head. A kippah is said to be ‘A blessing on the head’ and is perhaps the most instantly identifiable mark of a Jew. He will now begin to learn the Torah.

  • Orthodox Jewish school boys from the Bobov school watching the Lag B’Omer bonfire in the school playground. Lag B’Omer is the holiday celebrating the thirty-third day of the (counting of the) Omer. Jews celebrate it as the day when the plague that killed 24,000 people ended in the holy land (according to the Babylonian Talmud). Other sources say the plague was actually the Roman occupation and the 24,000 people died in the second Jewish – Roman war  (Bar Kokhba revolt of the first century).  Bonfires (used as signals in wartime) are symbolically lit to commemorate the holiday of Lag’B’Omer.
