"They are called "peyot". There is a commandment for Jewish men not to cut the "corners of their beards".
Opinions differ as to where the "corners" are, and to what "cutting" entails.
"Peyot" is Hebrew for "corners". There are chassidic Jewish men who never cut them. As they grow, they get in the way, so they curl them behind their ears. This is why/how they get that curly look. Some will use sugar water on them to help keep them in place.
This is why many Jewish men have beards, too."
2 seconds of googling found that.
Thats a bitThank G-d they are still around today or we wouldnt have things like google to go and look it up!

I read the jew sideburns wikipedia too but it only talked about the jews that curl it around the ears not the jews that have them hanging down in the front like this:
Or does it mean they curl them around their ears at night or something and then put them down before they go out?
