Q: Did Iranians have the tradition of having peyot (side locks) or is it a strictly Ashkenazi thing? 
In an age where everything is questioned, we cannot help but sometimes question the fundamental truths that are found in our Torah. Long before our skeptical generation, our Sages told us that this questioning is not only permissible but people should be praised 
For better or for worse, our generation is witnessing a new phenomena amongst Persian Jews living in America. Where the average age of matrimony was in the twenties, the norm has shifted into the 30's and the occasional 40's. 
It all began on that mountain called Sinai, and ever since, the Jewish people have labored to climb the mountain of morality and virtue, one step at a time.
