a traditional ceremony orthodox Jews make when a boy turns three. He gets his first haircut, peyos(side locks), a yarmulka(skull cap), and tzitzis(a traditional for cornered garment worn by orthodox Jews).
Little David was exciting for his upsherin, because he had a long blond ponytail and was tired of people saying, "oh, what an adorable little girl you are!"
