Growing a beard longer than 1/8"
That is a new one for me.
That is simply a preference for comfort sake. I put 1/8th inch as that is the longest that mine ever gets. :-)

Re: War in Gaza

Second: Is it fair to take this as condoning military participation? Where I’m coming from is the assumption that if a man was converted while in the military, his instruction was to not harm anyone.
