For those who need a spiritual high, Moshe Rabbeinu has recently unveiled a unique path of divine service: "The Nazir," who accepts upon himself 1. not to drink wine, 2. let his hair grow long, and 3. stay away from all impure things.
Among those considering adopting this lifestyle is Shmerel Sheinkeit from the tribe of Ephraim. “I have a habit of spending way too much time combing my hair and shopping for multicolored coats,” said Sheinkeit to TNS fashion writer, Tiferet Tilboshet. “My mother told me that it is an old habit in our family, something Grandfather Yosef used to do. Anyway, it has gotten to the point that I have no time to learn Torah, no time for prayers and no time for serious spiritual stuff. No time to read Shazak Parsha, Out of Egypt, Queen of Persia, Miracle Lights... not even The Parsha Post! I’m hoping that becoming a Nazir for at least a month will help me form better habits.”
