oh i loved this one!!! those long, luxurious, peyot will be the thing you will end up loving most about your husband. halachically we are required to look uniquely Jewish. The only things in the entire repertoire of Jewish dress that are UNIQUELY Jewish seem to be peyot, and tzitzit. Most cultures sport some kind of hat, coat, beard, socks, kippa …. As for being pulled out by the peyos? Maybe Rabbi Nachman was hinting that even someone with peyos can end up "down there"….. noone is immune from the yetzer!

Going Religious without spouse In this story above, it seems more or less the two individuals were on the same page, to implement peyot and tzitzit as a family. What should be done if the husband desires to begin wearing tzitzit, but the spouse is still wearing capris and tank top tees? Should the husband wear them displayed, walking in the market along side his wife, or wait (possibly years) until the two are united in modesty?

Better to take things slowly but surely – wear them inside in the meanwhile, and simply show your wife how the Torah makes you more of a loving husband – be sure to read "The Garden of Peace" and implement every word – if you do, she'll soon be on board full steam. In the meanwhile, be patient and don't rush her. Blessings, LB
