Payot Payot (Hebrew: פֵּאָה‎ ‎ ; פֵּאוֹת ), also pronounced pe'ot, peyot; or payos, peyos, peyois, payois in Ashkenazi pronunciation, is the Hebrew word for sidelocks or sidecurls. "Payot" are worn by some men and boys in the Orthodox Jewish community based on an interpretation of the Biblical injunction against shaving the "corners" of one's head. Literally, "pe'ah" means "corner, side, edge". There are different styles of "payot" among Haredi, Yemenite, and Hasidic Jews. Yemenite Jews call their sidelocks "simonim" (סִימָנִים ), literally "signs", because their long-curled sidelocks served as a distinguishing feature in the Yemenite society (differentiating them from their non-Jewish neighbors).
