BREAKING: A sports podcast for the Canadian Jewish News received an anonymous tip last year that a rising star in the NBA has Jewish heritage. They dug into it, and are now exclusively reporting that NBA star Chet Holmgren is ethnically Jewish. His mother is Sarah Harris, making him halachically (matrilineally) Jewish through his mother's side, though he was raised Christian and has not publicly identified as Jewish.

The Chief Rabbi of Saudi Arabia said in a statement today that he was, "Barred from entering the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia upon arrival, despite holding a valid entry visa, and despite having spent a significant portion of the past years living and serving in this blessed Kingdom." A few years ago he posted a viral video of himself dressed in a black frock coat and homburg, dancing hand in hand with an Arab man clad in flowing white robes and a red-checkered kaffiyeh. According to a profile in Mishpacha magazine, Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael Herzog is a Manhattan native, served in Israel as an IDF officer, speaks Arabic fluently, is a serial entrepreneur, an adoptee of Chabad, and is now the self-styled Chief Rabbi of Saudi Arabia.

This female TikToker continues to try to hit on Orthodox Jewish men in order to make fun of them. But the opposite is happening. The video is flooded with comments praising the Orthodox Jewish men. Here's a sampling: "How I expect my husband to act around other women." "He's a good man." "Why bro didn't even look." "I actually love Jewish people. Their philosophy I do admire and the way they dress and carry themselves in public is top tier."

Now that the above video of the Hasidic child with 'Payos' (sidecurls) went viral, many of you are wondering what's the story behind this interesting and unique hair style? Well guess what, this practice originates from God himself in the Bible. In Leviticus 19:27 it says, "You shall not round off the 'peyos' (corners) of your head." Most Orthodox Jews interpret this (based on the Talmud and other rabbinic texts) as a prohibition against shaving the sideburns above a certain point (the cheekbone). Hasidic Jews often adopt a stricter interpretation, holding that one should not cut the sidelocks at all, allowing them to grow long. The style of peyos varies widely even within the Orthodox community. Some men keep their peyos short, some tuck them behind their ears, and some curl them. Many Hasidic texts draw from sources like the Zohar and Arizal to explain the deep, spiritual meaning behind peyos. One interpretation suggests the hair in this area is a "gate" or channel for divine flow and energy. Another explanation is that the peyos create a symbolic separation between the front part of the brain, associated with intellectual and spiritual thought, and the rear part, associated with physical and material drives. Maintaining this distinction is a reminder to focus on spiritual goals. The act of curling itself may be considered hiddur mitzvah, or "beautifying the commandment," making the observance more aesthetically pleasing and purposeful.
