Synopsis

Beard Hair Point Prayer

130. The fourth Correction (formation): The hair is shaped underneath the mouth from one corner to the other corner, MEANING THE BEARD ON THE POINT OF THE CHIN - this is what is written: "The remnant of His heritage" (Michah 7:18) as it says, "Wherefore send up a prayer for the remnant that are left" (II Melachim 19:4) - actually those left. "The remnant" IS LIKE what is written: "The remnants of Yisrael shall not do iniquity" (Tzefanyah 3:13).

130. תִּקּוּנָא רְבִיעָאָה, מִתְתָּקַן שַׂעֲרָא תְּחוֹת פּוּמָא, מֵרֵישָׁא חֲדָא לְרֵישָׁא חֲדָא. הה"ד, לִשְׁאֵרִית נַחֲלָתוֹ. כד"א וְנָשָׂאתָ תְפִלָּה בְּעַד הַשְּׁאֵרִית הַנִּמְצָאָה. הַנִּמְצָאָה מַמָּשׁ. שְׁאֵרִית דִּכְתִּיב, שְׁאֵרִית יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא יַעֲשׂוּ עַוְלָה.
