| Upsherin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (502 words) |
 | Therefore, just as the Torah says that if you plant a tree, all fruits that grow during the first three years are off-limits, so, too, some Jews leave a child’s hair alone during the first three years and do not cut it at all. |
| At the upsherin, parents encourage their little ones to lick Hebrew letters covered in honey while saying each letter, so that Torah should be "sweet on their tongues." |
| Today, the tradition of a child eating something sweet or licking honey while reading the letters, is sometimes followed even if there is no upsherin, but rather when a child is first taught their Aleph Bet. |
