He was trapped by his beard and earlocks, he said, and there was nothing he could do. But one day… (13.193)
Imprisoned by his own hair! Not fun. Of course, there are plenty of guys that feel very comfortable with their beards and earlocks, like our friend Matisyahu. Danny might, too, one day. All he wants is the choice.
Quote #8
"When I was very young, my father, may he rest in peace, began to wake me in the middle of the night, just so I would cry." (18.33)
We see that the Reb mirrors his father in child-rearing techniques, as well as how one important aspect of his identity was formed. A big part of his identity is sadness. He considers this sadness a gift, and one that should be passed on. What do you think of this?
Quote #9
Danny came over to our apartment one evening in September. […] His beard and earlocks were gone, and his face looks pale. (18.46)
