First off, you don’t have many Jewish men that love reggae so much that they seek out a career in it. Matisyahu's instantly noticeable beard was once a sign of his Orthodox Jewish faith. He was seen as an inspiration to people of his ilk, who aren't normally visible as celebrities. The beard has since been shaved and it looks like he's inching his way into being less of an anomaly, but he’s still one of the largest marquee names in reggae and a true gift to the genre.
