This has worked for me but it is not a universal rule. I believe there were Jews in Germany who were very, very Kadosh/Holy and they still suffered at the hands of the cruel Nazi monsters... But there is some truth to the idea that Hashem expects us to act like Jews, and when we do we get the rewards which he promised.... Of course when we dont we get the curses...
Sefardic Panther:
An explanation I got for why religious Jews suffered in the Shoah was that when judgement strikes a city the good as well as the wicked suffer. If there is a war and the enemy city gets bombed some good people die too. Avraham Avinu wanted Sodom and Gomorrah to be spared for the sake of 10 righteous men.
We should not let the Shoah be an excuse for Jews to become hiloni.

I don’t like the modern practice of some religious Jewish men using the electric shaver as a loophole for shaving.
The only people who do not have beards are boys and women.
In America do men with beards always get strip searched at airports? Is having a beard problematic for that reason?

You know, some women have facial hair.
Moshe92:
I'm 17, and I don't have enough facial hair to grow a full beard so I just shave. Maybe I'll grow a beard when I'm older and I have more facial hair.

The only woman I know with facial hair is the bearded woman at the circus. I went out on a date with her. No I did’nt only joking.
