("Nadav and Abiah, who even they themselves had lightened their heads in their ascent to Mount Sinai when they saw the Shechinah, as it is said (Exodus 24), and they saw God and ate and drank" - Midrash Tanchuma (Warsha) Parashat Be'aloth Simaan 16, and so: "There is no Mendel's staff that lightens the head, even in a small detail, the spirit of the people clings to it" - Bialik/ Mendel's and Shleshet The Krachim, and that: "The bad practice that is followed in some places is to dip one's head in open water and they are not aware of what the water is and how it comes out of the dusty reptiles that drink from it" - Life in the Well/ Feathers, 28)
