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.

August 17, 2016 1:31 am at 1:31 am #1166223Lilmod UlelamaidParticipantProbably 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.

He said, Nu, 1 white hair every 50 years isn’t geferlach. The problem was when the second one appeared 2 weeks later.
