Reply To: Should a bochur have a beard?

My brothers and I all had full beards from the age of 16. My 12th grade rebbe told me it was inappropriate for a high school bochur in his class. Mt father Z”L came in to see the menahel. He told the menahel that the baby raced rebbe was jealous that I could raise a full beard and he couldn’t. The menahel and my father had a good laugh and the subject was never brought up again.
