Real Women, Real Torah Kisui Rosh: What about Wigs? (Understanding Sheitels)
Covering our hair with more hair seems like a strange concept. What is the halachic basis for wig wearing as a valid form of hair covering? What are some reasons wigs would or wouldn’t be allowed? Why might wigs be preferable over other forms of hair covering?
This episode explores the original source in the mishna that introduces the concept of wigs and its various applications. We also discuss sheitels as a symbol for a general approach to our Judaism that brings together a strong commitment to halacha and an integration of mitzvos into our identity as women in the modern age.
