  • Best Jewish podcast on iTunes

    I listen to a significant number of podcasts, especially on Judaism, and this is hands down the most educative and entertaining of all I’ve come across. A plus is that the rabbi presents unbiased approach to Halacha, which is difficult to find nowadays.

There is no particular custom of what you do with the hair. Most people keep it as a memento, but you can throw it out.
The 3-Year-Old Haircutting
Q: So why do we wait until three years old and then cut the child's hair when the child turns three?
