Day 19 of the Omer
מִנְהַג יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁלֹּא לְגַלֵּחַ וְשֶׁלֹּא לְסַפֵּר שַׂעֲרוֹת רֹאשׁ תִּינוֹק עַד מְלֹאת לוֹ שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים
It is a Jewish custom not to trim or cut a boy’s hair until he is fully three years old.
גְזִיזַת הַשְּׂעָרוֹת — אָפּשׁעֶרעֶנעֶש (שֶׁל תִּינוֹק) — הוּא דָבָר גָּדוֹל בְּמִנְהֲגֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל
Cutting the boy’s hair at that time — an opsherenesh — is an important Jewish custom,
וְעִקָּרוֹ הוּא בְּהַחִנּוּךְ דְּהַשְׁאָרַת פֵּאוֹת הָרֹאשׁ
whose main aim is to educate the child to leave his payos [uncut].
וּמִיּוֹם הַגְּזִיזָה וַהֲנָחַת פֵּאוֹת הָרֹאשׁ
From the time of his [first] haircut, when the peyos are left uncut,
נָהֲגוּ לְהַדֵּר לְהַרְגִּיל אֶת הַתִּינוֹק
the custom is to make a point of training the child
בְּעִנְיַן נְשִׂיאַת טַלִּית קָטָן
to wear a tallis katan,
וּבִרְכוֹת הַשַּׁחַר
and to recite the Morning Blessings,
וּבִרְכַּת הַמָּזוֹן
the Grace after Meals,
וּקְרִיאַת שְׁמַע שֶׁעַל הַמִּטָּה
and the Prayer before Retiring at Night.
