Yet, from this week’s Parsha, we see that this is not so. “ואת כל העדה הקהילו באחד לחדש השני“ ,D'VAR HALACHA The Pasuk states Moshe gathered all of Klal Yisroel on the first of the second month. Why was it THIS WEEK necessary to tell us when Moshe gathered Klal Yisroel? Rabbeinu Yona derives from IN PICTURES here that Moshe possessed great alacrity and diligence in his performance of Mitzvos. Hashem instructed Moshe to perform the census on the first of the second month, and, PARSHA TEASER indeed, he immediately gathered Klal Yisroel on the very same day. The question arises: Wouldn’t any of us, even people who do not possess Shleimus in THE VAAD: the Middah of Zrizus, comply with the direct command of Hashem to conduct a YEAR IN REVIEW census? Why is this act such a great illustration and demonstration of Moshe’s alacrity?

    Shorshei Minhag Ashkenaz Minhag Ashkenaz: Sources and Roots

    Shorshei Minhag Ashkenaz Minhag Ashkenaz: Sources and Roots By Rabbi Binyomin Shlomo Hamburger Synopsis ofvolulnes I-IV Machan Moreshcs Ashkenaz The Institute for German-Jewish Heritage Bnei Brak 2010 Cutting A Boy's Hair Without Doing a Chalaka (Ups herin) The German custom to bring a young boy to the synagogue with a wirnpel (wrapping for the Torah scroll) has no connection whatsoever to the practice of the chalaka (the Arabic term 0h for Upsherin) observed by Sepharadirn and later adopted by many Chasidirn. The custom of holding a special celebration marking the boy's first haircut developed among these groups. The celebration takes place at a specific age, usually three. The festivity is customarily held near the gravesite of a tzadik or in a synagogue. This custom was unknown in ancient Sephardic and Ashkenazic communities. The earliest reports of the chalaka celebration are found in accounts written by Sepharadim early in the period of the Acharonim. Some three centuries later, we find the first indications that the custom had made its way into Chasidic circles. The most important source concerning the chalaka is the account of the celebration in which the Ari-zal is involved. The details of this story are somewhat vague, and it is unclear whether the Ari-zal made a chalaka for his son, or whether the account refers to his disciple, Rabbi Yonatan Sagish. There is also some question as to whether the Ari-zal patrticipated in Lag Ba 'orner events in Meron after his kabalistic insights because the custom to conduct a chalaka on Lag Ba 'orner runs in opposition to the Ari-zal's final ruling that forbade hair cutting during the orner period.
