The Hair Generation

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS ADVERTISEMENT FOUND IN the Jewish weekly "Link" of Boro Park? 

Do you see it? "Designed to look feel and act like REAL hair!"

 The Baal Shem Tov witnessed the early stirrings of the Haskalah (Enlightenment) and the anti-Torah movements that it spawned. He saw large numbers of Jews abandon their commitment to Torah and begin imitating the ways of their non-Jewish neighbors. He was deeply pained ....Heaven revealed to him that those straying souls were the "hair" of the komah sheleimah. And just as human hair is destined to be cut off and cast away, so would these "hair souls be cut off .......[one must read this book to put this in the right context] In the mystical teachings of Kabbalah, the evil forces known as kelipos attach themselves to free-flowing human hair. 

This is one of the reasons for the closely cropped hair favored by many Jewish men and boys, and also explains why girls and women who have never been married customarily bind or braid their hair. Additionally, according to Kabbalah, the halachah שער באשה ערוה which requires married women to cover their hair completely, is related to the attraction that free flowing hair has for the kelipos. 

Moreover, the prophet Yechezkel instructs the Kohanim to "crop their hair very close". Another Gemara )Tannis 17a= requires the king to take a close haircut daily; the Kohen Gadol weekly; and other Kohanim at least once every thirty days. 

Long hair becomes a favorite nesting spot for the impure kelipos that, as emissaries of the Satan, seek to tempt people to sin. The kelipos find characteristics of hair described here very appealing: long hair is made up of cells that have lost their vitality and the kelipos feel most comfortable around souls that have lost their spiritual vitality; long hair is devoid of feeling and the kelipos seek the company of people who are devoid of spiritual sensations; long hair is destined to be cut or torn away from its roots and the goal of the kelipos is to sever Jewish people from their spiritual roots. ....These "hair souls" - because they are in the grips of strong kelipos, their misdeeds and the falsehoods that form the foundation of their day-to-day lives can become weapons in the arsenal of the Satan in his never ending quest to drag down other Jewish souls. As a result, mingling with them and learning their alien ways can cause serious harm to the spiritual strivings of observant Jews. .... pg 386,390, and 392 SACRED SOIL
