Payot
Payot (or payos, peiyoth, peyot, ) is a
Hebrew word, which literally translates into English as corners/sides/edges; in the context of
Judaism, it is particularly used in relation to the
head and
face, denoting
sidelocks, and sometimes also
sideburns.
Haredi,
Yemenite, and
Hasidic Jews often sport distinctive long curled payot, while those of
Modern Orthodox Judaism and
Conservative Judaism wear more varyingly sized sideburns; the Yemenite Jews refer to their sidelocks as simanim, literally meaning signs, because the sidelocks were historically the only feature which differentiated them from Yemenite
Muslims. The practice of wearing payot is one of the consequences of
Jewish beliefs about shaving.
