What is this you ask? If you want detailed information please go to this link for a full explanation:

In the Jewish community this is a day of weddings, haircutting ceremonies for boys, parades, and bonfires. My family is planning to do three of the four above. It all starts today with a huge parade right down the street from me, Pico and Doheny, and my children's school is a part of it, so we are getting there early so they can participate. Then one of my friends and her son are celebrating a birthday in their home with a bouncy, air jumper, YAY. After that we have an Upshernish, hair cutting ceremony, and finishing our night with a bonfire if the kids have energy :)
From Passover many men do not cut their hair or their beards, this is an interesting articles of some history and current events around the subject, and amazing that a Rabbi changed the policy of beards in our military because it was infringing on our first amendment rights.

Overall this is just a day of non stop fun, exactly my style, and the kids go along for the ride!
Woo Hoo,
