Bracing myself for the avalanche of attempted wit this question will invoke… I would like to know why a man’s beard sometimes turns grey very early, in his 30s.
Some will say stress; some will say from Torah learning or knowledge.
I have tried to research this answer but to no avail so I thought to give the coffee roomers a go. Don’t give me any pshat answers.
Can anyone tell me the deeper mystical reason? I know there has to be one.
Beard has a meaning of drawing down beracha and sweetening dinim. There has to be reason why a man in his mid 30s is suddenly getting a greying beard. Of course, each person has a different reason. I know why.
if Heaven wants your beard to turn grey early, your beard will turn grey early. You have very little control over anything life other than how you respond to a situation.
I know why.
Tell us?
It’s genetics.

LF, children, children…
What is the question? Do you want to know if you can dye it?
Abba s I’m sorry but you crack me up this isn’t the forced time I nearly choked in my food while reading your post keep up ur great sense of humor and use it in the right way
Probably the same reason that there are girls whose hair turns grey when they are in their 30’s.
Probably genetics. Maybe your grandparents married first cousins during a tornado and got so confused they made Haetz before Haadama because they looked up the halacha online instead of from actual Sefarim.
I heard in a shiur over tisha B’av (possibly R’ Fischel Schachter) that Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky got his first white hair when he was 50. He said, Nu, 1 white hair every 50 years isn’t geferlach. The problem was when the second one appeared 2 weeks later.
