Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: Upsherin, Alef-Bet, and the Childhood Navigation of Jewish Gender Identity Symbol Sets	2017	19	.pdf	application/pdf	9699	591	60	Milligan Hair Today, gone ToMorrow 9 Examples of this include the long, unshorn hair of Old Order Anabaptist girls, often worn in braids until it is pinned up under a prayer covering after baptism (Reynolds 2001; Scott 2008); the uncut and carefully wrapped hair and turban of a Sikh child; twists and braids with bright beads worn by African American girls (Byrd 2002; Leeds Craig 2002; Prince 2010); a Muslim infant’s first haircut on the seventh day of his life; or, as discussed in this essay, the creation of payot (sidelocks or sidecurls worn by Jewish men, sometimes also referred to as payos in Yiddish) for Jewish boys during their upsherin. In this Sephardic context, Jewish boys are circumcised at eight-days-old and have their hair cut at age five, an inverse mirroring of Muslim boys having their hair cut on the seventh day and their circumcision at the age seven.	cache/cfr-25073.pdf	txt/cfr-25073.txt
