“Please join me for My 3rd Birthday and Upshernish Ceremony”
Hi my name is Mendel, soon I’ll be three. So we’re having a party especially for me.
It’s more than a birthday as you’ll read in this rhyme. We’re cutting my hair for the very first time. “Upshernish” is Yiddish, it means cutting hair. A Kippa & Tzitzit, I’ll now start to wear. The Torah compares a little boy to a tree. Whose fruit may not be cut until it turns three. If its roots are well nourished it will grow strong and pure. Then the tree just like me will always stand secure. Join me on my special day and cut a snip of my hair. A Simcha is better when friends and family share
Love Mendel
