Barbers need a hechsher, any Barbershops who won't commit to not violating halacha, should not be used even for a "regular" haircut.
ReplyDeleteNow that people are starting to realize that Jewish barbers need a hechsher it is a wake up call not to rely on therapists just because they are Frum.
DeleteHalachos of haircuts can be set to specific guidelines, for therapy and therapist, every case is unique.
DeleteTherapists are so much riskier than barbers. Every therapist should need an hamlatza from two rabanim once a year. It should be the same two rabbanim who update their hamlatza. A change of rav should be viewed with the same suspicion as a change of hechsher.
DeleteThe barber thing is very serious and dangerous.
DeleteI wish someone would compile a list of Barbers who are fully committed to only give haircuts acceptable to halacha. The rest should be boycotted.
Deletewhats a חוקות העמים haircut?
ReplyDeleteLook in today's daf yomi Sotah 46:
DeleteIt's shocking how little boys are walking around with half shaven heads and zero peyos left. The parents are clueless but these are the new styles. The barbers should be told to stop this nonsense and issueei doiraysah.
ReplyDeleteThe parents are clueless, as are even many Bais Medrish bochurim who RL only look at giyeshe trends as guidelines. It's a pellah that the Roshey Yeshiva of these bochurim don't open their mouths. They let them go with these goyish haircuts, top few buttons if shirt open, skinny pants etc. They keep their mouths shut and rather have a TLC accepting Yeshiva, than no yeshiva at all. These bichurim need to be taught how a Ben Torah goes, not just a blat of Gemorah!!!!
ReplyDeleteShirts open and skintight pants are a problem in top tiered yeshivas too, not just TLC yeshivas. The bigger issue is teen boys general obsession with chitzoniyos, the specifics are usually immaterial. Mesivta and beis medrash boys wardrobes cost thousands of dollar each zman. The source of the problem is not goyishe haircuts, it's teen boys the overwhelming need to follow the trends. They are very insecure when it comes to dressing. Maybe a kosher therapist can deal with these issues.
DeleteAre you comparing open buttons to an issur de'oraysa of לא תקיפו פאת ראשכם?
DeleteWhy would you think a therapist is needed? These are NORMAL desires and behaviors for teens. Attempting to suppress them is what will lead to the need for therapists, OTD, etc. Yeshivas MUST know how to respond properly and with sensitivity.
DeleteRumspringa is also NORMAL for teens
Deleteshould we now allow it too?
My son's mesivta didn't send any letter. Does than mean it's not a problem in yeshiva? The hanhalah does care? They feel helpless?
ReplyDeletehere's a little secret when the mothers give treat their kids like little play dolls and give kids goyishe haircuts at ages 1-8+ they don't suddenly grow out of styling their hair when they turn barmitzvah
ReplyDeleteSo true!!!!
DeleteMaskim
DeleteThere is special place in gyhenom for township board chairs that trample the little guy.
ReplyDeleteCan some elaborate on which hairstyles are considered chukos haamim?
ReplyDeletedoes anyone have a recording of the shiur on hair cutting that was given at the eastontown mesivta by the forest park rav?
ReplyDeletevery sad what was once an obvious halachik issue now needs awareness campaigns and schools sending letters
ReplyDeleteAbove comment about mothers 100%, many think children are cute like pets
