Sunday, 19 February 6PM-9PM
Please join us as we celebrate Gavriel's 3rd birthday and Opsheren - his first haircut and transition from baby to young boy.
The “Opsheren” is a beautiful custom marking a Jewish boy’s 3rd birthday and the start of his formal education. A child is compared to a tree which needs many years of love and nurture before it has matured enough to reap its first fruits. Just as we are commanded to wait three years before harvesting the fruit of a tree so too we wait until the child’s 3rd birthday to cut his hair for the very first time. We leave the Peyot and he begins to wear a Kippah and Tzitzit as a reminder of this new stage which he is entering.
