What are the long ring type side burns called that the jewis have please and what do they represent. thanks?

Answer 1

Leviticus 19:27 says, "Do not round the corner of your head."
Torah also forbids a male Jew
from removing hair from one's sideburns and temple are (known as
pei'ot ha-rosh). Actually, the sideburns merely have to be long enough
that one can pull on the hair, and the beard area can be shaved with
something other than a sharp blade (many people accept the use of
electric shavers). But specifically within the Chassidic community,
there is a custom not to shave (and frequently not even to trim) the
beard, and to permit the sideburn area (all the way up to the top of
the ear) to grow long as well (the long sideburns are called peyot) .
Some tuck the hair up under their kipot/skullcaps, while others curl
the hair. Many Orthodox say the payes (a.k.a. earlocks/sidelocks)
begin right at the temple, to just behind the ear, and must grow no
shorter than the top of the cheekbone. Then they are to be worn pushed
forward of the ear so as to be visible. Many, following Rabbi Nachman,
grow them long because he said he could "pull them by their payess out
of hell" once he was in Paradise!

Answer 2

First off, your hallucinations may be diagnosed as a form of schizophrenia. It may even be multiple personality disorder; though that is very rare. You may want to tell your therapist about Ben and talk to a doctor. Second, suicide is never the answer, so it's good that you're not attempting that again. From your time-line, you have been self-harming for over a year, so it's not going to go away like that, especially if treatment was traumatic (the molestation), and ineffective. Gradually, though, try to stop self-harming. Don't pretend to be happy to please your therapist and your parents. Pretending to feel something won't eventually make you feel it, it'll just be a ruse, and you won't get the help you need, cuz sweetie, you do need help. I'm sorry, but what your parents did was not right. They should have reported the molestation incident and removed you from that treatment facility IMMEDIATELY. They might just be scared about losing you, but what they did was even more harmful to you. I suggest you talk to your therapist about the self-harming, so you can figure out a reason for doing it. Because if I sit here and start spouting off a bunch of reasons like self-loathing and poor self-esteem, then that's not going to do sh*t cuz I'm not a mental health professional. I do hope you get the help you need and flashbacks are to be expected after such trauma. Talk to someone. If not your therapist, then a trusted adult. Try to find a friend outside the treatment facility, even though I know how extremely difficult that can be.

The Rastafarian "dreadlocks" come from the same passage in Leviticus. Interesting, huh?

They're called payot. In the Bible, Jewish men are not supposed to shave their sideburns, so it's to follow a commandment of God.
