Why does a rabbi looks like this?

[TonyMetal___86]

I mean, i can understand that this is their uniform just like the priests have their own uniforms and muslim clerics have theirs but what about this curly hair on both sides, what does it symbolize?

The sidecurls are called 'Payos.' Here is an explanation: the Jewish rule is that a man must not cut or trim his hair within a special facial region. The boundaries of this prohibited zone are on each side of the face - roughly between the middle of the ear and the eye, below a bone which runs horizontally across there. Many Orthodox Jews simply do not trim their sideburns above this line. Other Jews - primarily Hasidic ones - go further with this tradition. They do not trim or cut their hair here at all. Rather, they allow it to grow indefinitely. The result is long sidecurls that visibly extend downward

Hence, in some Jewish circles, men will allow the hair behind their ears grow and hang in curls. Having peyot is considered to be fulfilling a mitzvah (good deed).

Now that's an answer that deserves an mho, thanks for sharing 🙂

That person practices a particular type of Judaism, wher most men look like that. He is an Orthodox Jew and follows traditional dress. There are other types of Judaism where individuals look the same as the general public.

For real? Does these things "sidecurls" called peyots means "good deeds" that's weird 😄

[Mytypeisadog]

It probably serves as a symbol and reminder.

[strateguy632]

not "meaning" the meaning is "edges" but they consider "grow long" to be a good deed.

That is an Orthodox rabbi. A lot of rabbis don't wear their hair like that or dress like that.

Tnx for sharing

He doesn't. Nearly every orthodox Jew tries to look like that, though.

You also need to attend school, kiddo. Muslims "clerics" do not have a "uniform" of any sort.

🤔🤔

I am not Jewish but he is an Hasidic Jew. Their doctrines require some hair not being cut.

[strateguy632]

the hair symbolized which group he is in.

Muslim Clerics don't have a uniform 🤣. They just made it up

[TonyMetal___86]

Well they all wear a uniform plus a turban on their heads, the sunnis's uniform is different than the shiia uniform

[AmeerX]

It's not a uniform. They just mixed local dress to make it look like a Sunni uniform. It's not even from Arab region

[TonyMetal___86]

Ah ok and what about the shii'a uniform?

[AmeerX]

Same with them. They were black because it was common during Abbasid caliphate to wear black dresses.

Because they are gay.
