Kisui Rosh: What and Who? (The Source for the Mitzvah)

The Source for the Mitzvah

Where does the concept of Kisui Rosh come from in the Torah? Is it a d’oraisa, a d’rabanan or both? Who does it apply to? What if a woman was married and then divorced or widowed? Does she have to cover her hair too?

In this episode, we'll explore the unexpected source for the mitzvah of hair covering from stories in the Torah and the Mishna and Gemara. We'll explore the concepts of Das Moshe and Das Yehudis and give a new perspective on the minhagim of tznius that affect so many aspects of our dress. We conclude with a discussion on the original sources that address who is obligated to cover their hair.
