Reply To: Sheitels

I have no problem with people who say not to wear sheitels. I think their thought process is logical. I have a problem with people who say nice or real sheitels are a problem. That is a fashion decree.

I guess what we have to ask is – does the mitzvah of a women covering her hair mean that OTHER people have to know she is covering her hair? Nothing I have ever learnt has every shown me that. Its a personal mitzvah FOR THE WOMAN. If a married woman isnt covering her hair and a man wants to say shema, he would have to leave the room because his prohibition is saying shema in her presence. It would be nice if the woman covered her hair, but its a different obligation. Can anyone show me where it says that a woman’s head covering must be shown as a head covering?

Mazal, as to the story of the woman’s dream – I personally think thats ridiculous. How about dreams I have about aliens – does that mean aliens are coming to America? The point of having a rabbi paskin for you, is so that you do the right thing according to what his (AKA the Torah’s) psak is. Remember “Torah lo bashamayim he.”

People try to find all sorts of reasons for Moshiach not being here. Instead of trying to blame others, maybe people should start looking within. I know what I am working on, why should I constantly be examining others to find fault with them? If that woman wants, let her stop wearing a wig and do everything she can to bring moshiach. I can come upwith plenty reasons why moshiach isnt here…
