Shaving and Shavers - Part 2 Ou Israel Center - Summer 2018 5778 - dbhbn ovrct [email protected] 1 sxc HALACHIC AND HASHKAFIC ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY 101 - SHAVING AND SHAVERS - PART 2 OU ISRAEL CENTER - SUMMER 2018 In Part 1 we saw that the Torah prohibits men from shaving their beard with a razor. In this shiur we need to apply the principles that we learned in Part 1 to the electric shaver and understand the contemporary psak. A] THE HISTORY OF THE ELECTRIC SHAVER • 1879 - invention of the manual beard-clipping machine, mentioned by poskim at the end of the 19C. • 1898 - patents first filed for an electric razor. • 1903 - invention of the safety razor by Gillette in the US. This was marketed in Europe from 1905. • 1925 - invention of the electric safety razor and the vibro-shave. • 1931 - Jacob Schick created the first electric shaver. This was already referenced in the US poskim by 1932.1 • 1939 - Phillips began to produce the shaver with a round head. 2 • 1980s - Invention of the ‘Lift & Cut’ electric shaver. B] THE HALACHIC BACKGROUND We must briefly review the halachic framework for the mitzvah that we saw in Part 1. :Wbe z ,¬ t P ,­t ,h ºj J , t´«k u o·f Jt«r ,­ t P Up ºE , t´«k 1. zf:yh trehu In Parashat Kedoshim the Torah explicitly prohibits ‘destroying’ the corners of the beard. It does NOT specifically refer to a razor blade. , yrG U ­y r Gh t¬«k o ºrG c¸cU Uj·Kdh t«k obez ,tpU o ºJt«r C Æv j re U ³j r eh&t«k (v) 2. v:tf trehu There is a parallel prohibition in Parashat Emor for Cohanim 3 which prohibits ‘shaving’ the corners of the beard. Again, it does NOT specifically refer to a razor blade. «u Jt«r r¬ g G g r­P k¬S D vºh vh J ´«se wÆv k rh³Z h&r J3t o ¹nH v ,t¸«k n&s g «u·Jt«r&k g r´«c3g h&t«k r g­ T «u ºr zb rs´b Æh n h&kF (v) 3. v:u rcsnc The Torah DOES use the expression ‘ta’ar’ for prohibition of the shaving for the nazir. 1. Electric shavers reached Eretz Yisrael in the late 1940s and 1950s as bachurim began to arrive from the US. 2. For a detailed history of how the electric shaver was dealt with in early poskim see Machonet Giluach Behalacha by R. Aharon Pfueffer Chelek Bet Chap 1. 3. Although this is not counted by most Rishonim as a separate mitzvah.

Why would the Mishna rule this way if the verse never specified a razor!? tk ht /,hja, tk :k", ?chhj tvh ohrpxnc ujkd whpt kufh - Uj·Kd h t´«k o­be z ,¬t pU :r", /rg,c ubkyha sg chhj ubhtu 6. vz :rnut huv 'v,jav uc aha jukhd ?smhf tv /ujkdh tk :rnuk sunk, ?chhj tvh hbyhvru yeknc uyek ot kufh ',hja, /rg, /tf ,ufn The Gemara 4 learns a gezeira shava 5 between the two verses in Kedoshim and in Emor. The actual prohibition must include BOTH elements of the mitzvah: ‘hashchata’ - destruction of the beard; and ‘giluach’ - an act of shaving. The Gemara then indicates that the only way to do both of these is with a razor. ohhrpxnc ubez jkd ot lfhpk /v,jav uc aha jukhd lbez ,tp ,t ,hja, tku rntba rg,c ubjkdha sg chhj ubhtu 7. ruyp z vfkv ch erp vrz vsucg o"cnr The Rambam explicitly rules that the Torah prohibition is only with a razor blade.

Scissors are certainly permitted for this. And although an actual razor is not allowed, something which is ‘k’ein ta’ar’ - ‘similar to a razor’, is permitted. rg, ihgf rack lunxc ohrpxnc zzda - rg, ihgf 9. oa h"ar Rashi explains that ‘k’ein ta’ar’ means the use of scissors which cut the hair very short and close to the skin. How does the category of ‘k’ein ta’ar’ apply to the issue of cutting the corners of the beard? rg, ihgf ukhpt 'r,un ohrpxnc kct /rg,c tkt iezv ,tp ,,jav kg chhj ubht h 10. h ;hgx tpe inhx vgs vruh lurg ijkua The Shulchan Aruch takes a lenient approach. Only a true razor blade is prohibited. Scissors are definitely permitted, even if they act ‘k’ein ta’ar’, and cut close to the skin. rg,f huvu iu,j,v ekj og kfv vagh ip //// ihrp,xnaf ohrvzb n"nu :vdv 11. h ;hgx tpe inhx vgs vruh lurg ijkua twnr However the Rema warns that there are some scissors which actually acts as a true razor and not just ‘like’ a razor. This will clearly be prohibited. 4. See also Sifra Kedoshim 3:6. 5. Even though the verse in Emor relates only to Cohanim, Chazal understood them to be thematically linked (they also both deal with self-mutilation). See Part 1. 6. We saw in Part 1 that, even though the Rambam uses the expression ‘patur’, the Beit Yosef understands that he permits this fully. The Sefer HaChuniuch however takes a different position - see below. To download more source sheets and audio shiurim visit www.rabbimanning.com 5778 - dbhbn ovrct [email protected] 3 sxc :rg,f rehg smc rgha ihf,uj ihta oh,hjan ibht ohrpxnu /,hja, tk k", 12. oh,hjan ihtu ihjkdn ohrpxnu uc jkdk lrs ihtu ,hjan hbyhvr kct /rg, ubhhvu ,hjanu uc jkdk lrs /v,jav uc aha jukhd (hwar ouenc) oa iwchr The Rivan takes a different approach. He explains that the key issues concerning the Torah prohibition are: (i) how close is the shave - if it cuts at the root of the hair, this is called ‘hashchata’; and (ii) how ‘normal’ is the use of this instrument for shaving. Anything normally used will be considered ‘giluach’. If electric shavers do both of these things, would they be prohibited? In summary, there are three levels of shaving for the purposes of these halachot: 1. rg, - a true razor, which is prohibited by the Torah as ‘hashchata’ - destruction7 of the hair. 2. rg, ihgf ohrpxn - scissors which act ‘like a razor’ and which cut close to the skin. The Shulchan Aruch permits these for the beard. 3. ohrpxn - scissors acting in a regular way, which do not cut close to the skin. These are permitted by all authorities. However, the Rema (based on the Terumat Hadeshen) warns that once scissors are sharp enough to cut using one blade, these will be classified as a true razor.

  • Review of Topical Therapies for Beard Enhancement
    Review Article Review of Topical Therapies for Beard Enhancement A. ALMURAYSHID* Department of Medicine, College of Medicine, Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, Alkharj City 11942, Saudi Arabia Almurayshid: Topical therapies for Beard enhancement Beards and facial hair are part of male characters and fascination. Topical therapy for beard enhancement may be desired by some men to improve beard growth and density. A review of all reports on topical treatments for beard enhancement is presented here. Searching the United States National Library of Medicine PubMed, exploring all titles containing beard, facial hair or mustache as of July 22, 2020. A total of 445 articles resulted from the initial search. After reviewing the publications three studies match the aim of the review, two of which were double-blind clinical trials, and one was a case report. Topical 3 % minoxidil, as studied by Ingprasert et al., showed a significant increase in hair count, photographic scoring and patient self-assessment. Saeedi et al. studied the use of 2.5 % testosterone gel for men with thalassemia major and found an increase in terminal hair. Vestita et al. published a case report demonstrating unexpected improvement of beard density for a patient using tretinoin 0.05 % cream. Limited evidence on topical treatments for beard enhancement. Topical minoxidil is an off-label treatment to enhance the beard. Other topical options such as testosterone, tretinoin, of bimatoprost could constitute potential treatment options. Further studies needed to recommend the best topical options for men who desire to enhance their beards. Key words: Beard, facial hair, Minoxidil, Testosterone, Tretinoin, Camouflage, Hair Transplant, Laser The beard and facial hair have been a social expression The results were filtered to find any topical treatment used for men of different cultures.

  • An End to “Long-Haired Freaky People Need Not Apply”?
    “Signs” of the Times: An End to “Long-Haired Freaky People Need Not Apply”? Sean C. Pierce Harbuck Keith & Holmes LLC Coming on the heels of United Parcel Service, Inc.’s seminal case on pregnancy discrimination, Young v. United Parcel Service, Inc., 135 S. Ct. 1338 (2015), the world’s largest package delivery company was recently also ensnared in a religious discrimination claim. UPS agreed to pay $4.9 million and provide other relief to settle a class-action religious discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The suit was resolved with a five-year consent decree entered in Eastern District of New York on December 21, 2018. EEOC v. United Parcel Service, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-04141. The EEOC alleged UPS prohibited male employees in supervisory or customer-contact positions, including delivery drivers, from wearing beards or growing their hair below collar length. The EEOC also alleged that UPS failed to hire or promote individuals whose religious practices conflict with its appearance policy and failed to provide religious accommodations to its appearance policy at facilities throughout the U.S. The EEOC further alleged that UPS segregated employees who maintained beards or long hair in accordance with their religious beliefs into non-supervisory, back-of-the- facility positions without customer contact. These claims fell within the EEOC’s animosity to employer inflexibility as to religious “dress and grooming” practices, examples of which include wearing religious clothing or articles (e.g., a Muslim hijab (headscarf), a Sikh turban, or a Christian cross); observing a religious prohibition against wearing certain garments (e.g., a Muslim, Pentecostal Christian, or Orthodox Jewish woman’s practice of not wearing pants or short skirts), or adhering to shaving or hair length observances (e.g., Sikh uncut hair and beard, Rastafarian dreadlocks, or Jewish peyes (sidelocks)).

  • Governing New Guinea New
    Governing New Guinea New Guinea Governing An oral history of Papuan administrators, 1950-1990 Governing For the first time, indigenous Papuan administrators share their experiences in governing their country with an inter- national public. They were the brokers of development. After graduating from the School for Indigenous Administrators New Guinea (OSIBA) they served in the Dutch administration until 1962. The period 1962-1969 stands out as turbulent and dangerous, Leontine Visser (Ed) and has in many cases curbed professional careers. The politi- cal and administrative transformations under the Indonesian governance of Irian Jaya/Papua are then recounted, as they remained in active service until retirement in the early 1990s. The book brings together 17 oral histories of the everyday life of Papuan civil servants, including their relationship with superiors and colleagues, the murder of a Dutch administrator, how they translated ‘development’ to the Papuan people, the organisation of the first democratic institutions, and the actual political and economic conditions leading up to the so-called Act of Free Choice. Finally, they share their experiences in the UNTEA and Indonesian government organisation. Leontine Visser is Professor of Development Anthropology at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on governance and natural resources management in eastern Indonesia. Leontine Visser (Ed.)

  • By Louis Silberman Or Many Women and Men, Hair Removal Is More Than a Process, More Than a Routine and Much More Than Simply a Chore—It Is Fa Full-On Battle
    By Louis Silberman or many women and men, hair removal is more than a process, more than a routine and much more than simply a chore—it is Fa full-on battle. The current styles and trends for both sexes call for a smooth, virtually hair-free physique. However, obtaining a bare bod is not always easy. Depending on the method of hair removal used, the process can be time-consuming, stubble can reappear quickly, and ingrown hairs can become a painful, unsightly problem.

From razors to lasers, people are searching for the best solutions and experimenting with different ways to keep body hair at bay.

  • Symbolisms of Hair and Dreadlocks in the Boboshanti Order of Rastafari
    …The Hairs of Your Head Are All Numbered: Symbolisms of Hair and Dreadlocks in the Boboshanti Order of Rastafari De-Valera N.Y.M. Botchway (PhD) [email protected] Department of History University of Cape Coast Ghana Abstract This article’s readings of Rastafari philosophy and culture through the optic of the Boboshanti (a Rastafari group) in relation to their hair – dreadlocks – tease out the symbolic representations of dreadlocks as connecting social communication, identity, subliminal protest and general resistance to oppression and racial discrimination, particularly among the Black race. By exploring hair symbolisms in connection with dreadlocks and how they shape an Afrocentric philosophical thought and movement for the Boboshanti, the article argues that hair can be historicised and theorised to elucidate the link between the physical and social bodies within the contexts of ideology and identity.

  • (PFB) Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (Razor Bumps) Is a Common Condition of the Beard Area Oc
    PSEUDOFOLLICULITIS BARBAE (PFB) Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (razor bumps) is a common condition of the beard area occurring in up to 60% of African American men and other people with curly hair. The problem results when highly curved hairs grow back into the skin causing inflammation and a foreign body reaction. Over time, this can cause keloidal scarring which looks like hard bumps of the beard area and neck. A 100% effective treatment is to let the beard grow. Once the hairs get to be a certain length they will not grow back into the skin. If you must use a blade, water soften the beard first with a hot, wet wash cloth for 5 minutes, then use a lubricating shaving gel (Edge, Aveeno) or a prescription medicated shaving foam (benzashave by Dermik) and use the Aveeno PFB Bump Fighter Razor or the Flicker razor. Shave with the grain of the beard and do not stretch the skin. Use only one stroke over each area of the beard. Use of an electric shaver may also help the condition because it does not cut as close as blades do. Use the electric razor on high setting to avoid close shaving a prepare beard with electric razor pre-shave. Do not stretch skin while shaving and shave with the grain of beard growth. Avoid multiple repetition of strokes in the same area. Do not press razor head hard against the skin. Shave every other day. Better still is a barber’s clipper (with clipping guard) to prevent shaving closer than 1mm cut of whisker hair.

  • WHO Surgical Site Infection Prevention Guidelines Web Appendix 7 Summary of a Systematic Review on the Effectiveness and Optimal Method of Hair Removal
    WHO Surgical Site infection Prevention Guidelines Web Appendix 7 Summary of a systematic review on the effectiveness and optimal method of hair removal 1. Introduction Removal of hair from the intended site of surgical incision has traditionally been part of the routine preoperative preparation of patients undergoing surgery. Hair removal may be necessary to facilitate adequate exposure to the site and preoperative skin marking. Furthermore, suturing and the application of wound dressings can be complicated by the presence of hair. Apart from these practical issues, hair has been associated with a lack of cleanliness and the potential to cause surgical site infection (SSI). However, there is also the belief that hair removal inversely increases the risk of SSI by causing microscopic trauma of the skin. To minimize the potential of skin trauma, the use of clippers instead of razors has been proposed for preoperative hair removal. Clippers cut the hair close to the skin without actually touching it, whereas razors involve a sharp blade drawn directly over the skin.
