    I think its so interesting that hair is such a sexual, womanly thing. Even strippers use hair to their full advantage. It can be as sexy as exposed breasts in my opinion.

    in the olden days, wearing one's hair down was the way that prostitutes advertised availability. women who were not in that line of work covered their hair as a distinguishing characteristic.

    it's not 'religious' in basis, as such.

    That reminds me of what was said about the polynesian women. When the prostants, came to hawaii. They claim polynesian woman display thier bodies as sinners. Thier hula dance aka history lesson. Was a evil dance of satan work. So yea I can believe it!

    Orthodox Jews (many sects) require married women to cover their hair. It's a modesty thing - as a married woman you are supposed to share it only with your husband. Some sects wear wigs (yes, the Yiddish is sheitel) and others wear snoods.

    Some families don't accept wig wearing because it seems like the woman is showing her hair.



    OT, I bake challah every Friday morning! Handmade, from scratch, pareve and fresh out of the oven at 9am.... even at $5 a loaf I sell about 80 a week.

    Wow, a thread that touches on religion/culture/ethnicity without getting ugly, defensive, or angry!

    Congratulations to all who played.

Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

    Anytime!

    And yes, french toast is always better with challah. Very thick slices of challah and quality maple syrup.

    That IS pretty interesting. Historically hair has been powerful. Even for men! Remember the Bible story about the man who was super strong as long as he let his hair grow. Then his lover cut his hair in his sleep. He lost his strength. I wonder if mail prowess = sexuality too. Maybe I'm going off on a limb with this one.

    Ok can I ask another question?

    Why are there so many cars from New Jersey parked at that the Synagogues ALL THE TIME? I am in Toronto- so what would bring them up here?

    And the people driving the cars are the Orthodox Jews with the big black hat and ringlets.

    There must be some big Toronto - Jersey Jewish connection.

    I thought they shaved it after they got married? I could be wrong. I know they do wear the wigs. My old roomate lived in a part of Brooklyn that was like this. She gave me all the info.

    I don't know of any sect that shaves their heads. The whole purpose is to save the beauty for your husband.

    I've never heard of a lubavitcher (a hessidic) jew shaving her head.....

    i have an aunt who i've supervised her mikvah (it's a purifying water submersion ritual, it's watched to make sure every part of her, all her hair even, goes under the water) and her hair so so beautiful under her wig. it's oer 2 feet long and thick and perfect. lol. i'm so envious!

    but ya, she has that same wig! and so do probably 70% of the married lubavitcher women i know
