  1. As it is written in Leviticus Capter 19,  27

    "Ye shall not around the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard."


  2. The payos (sidecurls, pronounced PAY-us) and beard are worn in obedience to this commandment in the Torah (Bible):

    You shall not round the corners of your heads, nor mar the edges of your beards. (Leviticus 19:27)

    The "corners of the head" are the area above the ears. "Not rounding" them means not shaving the hair there, or cutting it very short. Together, both the curls and the untrimmed beard are a symbol of obedience to the laws of God. Many Hasidic men also cut the rest of the hair very short. This is not really required, but is more comfortable under a hat. Also, some Hasidim see the entire haircut -- very short hair with beard and payos -- as part of the "uniform" of their group.

    Also not ALL Jewish people have the beards and the curls it's mainly the Hasidic ones who are very traditional and stick to the old ways.
