We know you love your folks, little one. That's what makes it so hard for you. :)

Payis are the long sidelocks or earlocks seen on some orthodox Jewish men. There is a mitzvah about not marring the sides of their beards.

Oh, yes, i didn't realise that was what you called them. A few years back, i asked the Islamic studies teacher at our school, why orthodox Jewish men had the sidelocks and she told me that it was a belief that they would lifted up to heaven by them and the payis would unlock the doors? Is this true? :)

Need a learned Jew for that one.

I've heard of grabbing someone by the 'bollocks', but never the 'sidelocks'!  :laugh:
