<div>That's "parkh" - an eczema-like scalp condition. In some shtetlekh there was a hazing ritual on Shabat ha-gadol directed at unfortunate townspeople with this condition. (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="">Polish: parch - commonly employed as an antisemitic
epithet directed at Jews.)</span><br>
