Hair is a topic that's brought up many times in the Torah. We find with long many discussions about growing a beard about the pot covering one's hair after they get married which is an para which says you should not go and cut your hair at all. That's the beauty of the nazir. He should be gosh he should be making it long long his hair. The idea of covering hair is also learned in the para of which is also in our para and para no over here about the fact that they exposed her hair because that was a busha for a woman to expose her hair who always covered her hair. Of course we know there's an idea of a kalaka. So I just wanted to explain couple ideas behind the idea of hair. Now listen to a very interesting gumar inab that there was a child that went in. He was a nebra so you can already understand the story that he went ahead and he sold theim of his father. He sold some type of piece of property of his father and then soon afterwards he died the kid passed away and there was a whole discussion if the sale is a good sale and what's it depend on? Was he a child or not? We have to check the sim. We have to know if he had two hairs then he was a adult. If not, then the sale is not a good sale because a child cannot make a kenyan. It's not cayam. So they went to Rebi Aka and they asked Rebi Aka, can we go ahead and believe it or not, listen to this, open up the Kev. They wanted to open up his grave and check if he was an adult or not an adult. They wanted to check. So first of all says bug off for the of course not allowed to do that. But the second answer is what we want to focus on and that is that he said in any way meaning even if someone does not have hair per se when he dies it could be after death he actually grows hair an incredible phenomenon can you imagine that one there actually explains in that way he says it could be that he doesn't have sim before and afterwards he has sim doesn't have gum doesn't have holes pours and then it opens up afterwards as the bach over there explains the he says in the ke you can actually have hair that will grow. So he says so it could be that it grow after grew after me. Now if you go ahead and check up on this some will say that first of all there is an idea that yes there could be a little bit of activity left in the body which can make hairs grow a even after death but the more mikubal understanding is because there's a decomposition of the body and since the skin is withering away so automatically more hair has become exposed and that was the of that wasn't there now but it's going to happen afterwards but we see a phenomenon we see a concept that hair can grow even after it can grow and I want to know why what's the idea so to speak behind it based on the or the where's it come from so listen to in our para in partic of a person is the of hair the of a person is that's a strength just like his whole entire strength lied in his sar. As we all know that that evil woman Dila when she ended up telling removing his hair he was as he spoke out over there invim and he gives off the reason why because has no end. It's in the front, the back, around in the top. And it has ku it's it's a type of endless type of connection which come because there's a tremendous amount of pores and a tremendous amount of hairs on a person's head and it comes even and it grows he says even after death. This is the words and they grow even after death as long as he's standing in some type of wet place. And he says the idea behind it is because the hairs are a connection. And they're kind of roots to the higher worlds. They're roots to the elim. You have a and it's connected up to the higher world so to speak in some way. And that comes through the power of the roots which comes through the hairs. And that's why there's so many of them because there are so many types of nerve endings which are connecting up to the higher world and therefore they are tremendously powerful. In the words of the cabalistic writings of the Arizal are known as the sinot senor are funnels of canals that kind of bring down shepha bring down some type of power el some type of influence from the higher worlds and it comes through the power of the air which are on all different types of connection all different types of connections to the higher worlds that's why shim shim this was his Achilles heel by losing his hair of course he was a nazir but by losing his hair he ended up losing all his kot Because his werealamina as we know the right it was above the tea. Obviously we know Shimshin had which were above nature and it came because of his roots that were connected through his hair. Then the nazir his power comes in the power of his hair. The nazir and by removing that he ended up removing his kaki. an incredible uh idea which is brought based on that just like we have sparks from a candle. You have candles which have sparks that kind of shoot out. So we have sparks of our nishama which come out through the hair and that's the shall he have it he calls it the connection the the funnel the the the wire that connects us up to the higher higher worlds. Now having understand that it would be well understood that we know that every part of your body so to speak if you kind of prick it, cut it or cause issue it can really be extremely painful. Nobody wants someone taking scissors on their nose or any other part of their skin. There's only one place that people are okay with it and that is your hair. Of course your torn your nails also that's similar but a little bit different. I don't want to get into nails right now, but basically your hair is a place which has of course we know no nerve endings and it's a place where you have to kind of snip it periodically and there's absolutely no pain there. And the reason why is because it is a place that is it is not it is not physical. It's the in as much as it's above your body. It's the place that connects your nam to the higher world. So therefore it is not a place of pain of physical pain. And it doesn't have the physical pain that is there a spiritual pain. It could be that's why the Arizal says very emphatically and it's brought in the b and cope alif that one should not snip his beard. He holds that your beard should be grown long. It should be extended. We know the says is to have a beard because that is the place of connections to the higher worlds. But that's the importance of the nezar elabashir. That was Shimshun's power. That's the idea of the hair which seems to connect to higher worlds and therefore they actually don't have any pain when they are snipped brought for every right side a left side for every left side a right side there's always an opposite addendum and therefore in as much as the hair is a place of power it is also a place of danger it is also a place of fall it's a place of catastrophe also And the classic example of that is of course the gummor brings on yud of it brings over there five people that their greatness were similar that they had great that had something fantastic about them and that brought their downfall because it was used incorrectly. One of those people was of Shalom. Shalom was the son of David Melik who is a very charismatic and beautiful person as the puk says that of Shalom is call and one of his fair what made him so fair was his hair. Don't that wasn't a that wasn't a rhyme on purpose. Anyways, that's where it came from. And from the fact that he had it, he could have used it for great things such as shimun, but he used it to get to his gy and he wanted to knock his father's head off in order to become the king. He was a very charismatic character. Charismatic people become presidents of the United States such as the Obama who did absolutely nothing and people still seem to think he had some talent just because he had some type of mouth that was able to fake them out. So this charismatic personality of his tried to make him become king and he had a following behind him. So his greatness was his fall and he ended up getting killed by his own hair on purpose obviously where he got dangled from a tree by his hair when he was riding and then he was he was killed by by uh by by David's men upon him that's the idea of zu elohim and if that's true we can come well to understanding the idea behind the covering of a woman's hair some people take this personally they think it's not feminine it's not very nice to do that to make us all covered up. But the idea is on the contrary because the hair is such an incredible ka and such an incredible power by a woman who is on a higher level so to speak from lash am from amuna and every in every language the word for a mother always has the source of the word amuna. If it's a mame, mother, mom, imma, m, it's always has to do with the idea of amuna because a woman who is on that higher level being connected to the higher worlds and therefore the sparks that comes through the hair that's the power of where it comes from. Therefore, we cover her hair in order to avoid that there should that point of kaduca should be utilized correctly. It should be held intact and in place who was aid of the writes in he says the reason why a woman has to cover her hair in order that the negative side should not connect to her and they shouldn't get connected to from their hair and shouldn't come and make an a connection to the wrong place. shouldn't get there. So over there he's going to speak out which I'm sure many people are asking so what's the difference if she's married or not married and the idea is there's a difference between whether she's married or not because there's a certain level of a woman who's on a higher level and he gets into the details al kabala which is not really our forum over here why it's not but usually simply speaking a woman is still waiting to get married so we leave her hair uncovered but he says more deep things than that we see from here the reasoning behind the covering of a woman's hair and that's why You should know this could be an a reason why women are make with shait because some people are not happy with a pa with a they say you're defeating the purpose and yes I'll peep shot maybe having fancy is definitely out it's ousted because you're causing more damage than you are helping but if you see the real reason for covering is to avoid the that comes from the hair itself. So sometimes as long as it's covered you're avoiding the problem. Now listen to a marsh with this. We're coming almost to a close that says inid he says an incredible thing he actually writes over there that why is it observation why is it that the hair on your head or your beard grow constantly as opposed to the hair in your body that doesn't grow at all it grows and it stops. It always comes close. How many times are you shaving your body? You don't have to shave bad unless you keep cutting it short. But it usually comes to a stand still by the body hair as opposed to the hair on the head keeps growing. And he continues on the theme that we were mentioning before. There's the maha from the 1500s. Yeah. The great mosha need. And he says the reason is because the nama lies in the head. Of course, the nama is the radar that connects us to the upstairs and it's in the head and it has an extension cord that goes up to the higher worlds and that extension cord comes through the comes through the hair. The hair is the tenor that's the place of connection to the higher worlds and therefore there is constant free choice that is happening by us. We're always making decision for the good or for the bad. We always have some type of ideas whether it's for the good or for the bad. We always have some type of hard gusha. You have a certain uh feeling of an awakening that makes you excited or not excited. You get a certain type of feeling within you and we are constantly dynamic through our head which is the point of the nisha and therefore your hair is constantly moving as opposed to the body which is a standstill because the nakud of the nama is dynamic and therefore the hair is always growing on a consistent basis. Wow. Incredible. And that's the idea behind the nuzer. Of course, that's why in the nuzbai writes doesn't drink wine because it affects your head. And he says doesn't you shouldn't shave your hair hair because it affects your head. It comes from the same source that a person has to make sure to keep himself in the right place because a nuzzer can use his hair for ga or he can use it to humble himself. He's there for a humbling process. As the gumar brings of a certain nuzadar the gumar nadar brings that he was so beautiful. He was very charismatic and he made himself into a nuzzer because he didn't want his to jump on him. So this humbling comes only through the hair. The hair is the power of kaduca but it's also the power of tum. And a person has to be careful how he utilizes his hair and where the right place. Ysef was mala. He was playing around with his hair and give it to him over the head. You're being sa you're playing with your hair. So we're going to bear. We're going to make the wife of pifar take advantage and cause you a lot of problems because a person has to know that it can be used for the right or for the bad for the good. Incredible. We see incredible that lie behind the power of the hair. We find believe it or not there is a amongst and there are many stories amongst them to actually be gonz. They would put hair the hairs that come out of their beard into their in order to keep a gene because they didn't want to throw them away. I don't recommend to do that in front of your wife because I don't think it's so pleasant for people. But anyways, there's even a mim that someone had his z where he had a few of his hairs from his beard were niggnas inside of the and it said when he passed away the hairs disappeared. It went with him to the keer. They disappeared and they weren't there. the Benish tobah is adamant against this in he brings he's against this he say it's not true you shouldn't do it but basically the marik brings up he says if it's done by someone who was mpid and only by someone who was a makpid like the arizal which is brought in the k that never touches his beard because it's he realizes it's kadusha someone like the tanzer no problem so then it can be done by someone who's just a mabik like us who don't really do that. We do shave and we especially try to keep ourselves clean shaven and tidy and kemp and we don't necessarily for that reason all this does not apply through this idea of sot which talks about the exposure of hair and covering our head and also the idea of nazer which talks about the growth of hair we felt it was very important to realize this certain idea to realize we are attached we are connected our hair is there to connect us for those of us who still have a few pieces left of our hair we're there to stay connected And therefore always remember this idea of the we have shabbat shalom.
