[Avodah] Meron live

[Isaac Balbin via Avodah]

I didn't know my family Minhag until I chanced on a picture before the war with my grandfather and two of his sons, both with long hair. Using the mimetic tradition my sons and grandsons had an upsherin.  It's interesting that mention was made of The Griz. As is well known followers of the Vilna Gaon (including Mori VRabbi Rav Hershel Schachter) don't go to the Beis HaChaim and neither did Rav YD Soloveitchik until in his words he felt compelled to visit his wife's Tziyun. How many know that the Griz asked some Talmidim to go to the Rashbi's grave and pray when the Griz was on his death bed?
