Reply To: Giyoress or Not?

DyafMaven -“please just learn Daf 68a in Shabbos with Tosfos and learn about the case about a convert who converted in a city of non-jews and somehow never learned about shabbos and it is still a kosher conversion.”

Didn’t learn about it, but this wasn’t her fault. This lady not wearing a Shaitel is not even similar.

“So please stop this idea of assuming if a women doesn’t cover her hair it makes her a questionable convert because it doesn’t. Also it is not one of the 613 mitzvos to cover her hair and it is only a das yehudis and has a lot more to do with then just tziyus.”

You are confusing the reason with you don’t have to do it. The S’A paskens a woman must cover her hair and if she never accepted this when she was Megyer it’s Not a good Geyrus.

“Because if a girl covered her hair only for tziyus reasons unmarried women would have cover their hair and shetels would be a problem.”

The S’A explains why a girl doesn’t have to cover her hair.

And btw, many Poskim hold you aren’t allowed to wear Shaitels -it’s not so clear cut as you’re making it.

“It is not mitzvah to cover your hair its part of being orthdox jewish women. According to any of the great lists of mitzvos of the rishnoim does it list covering your hair as one of them. I’m not questioning if it a mitzvah or not I just do not think it is a prerequisite to convert in order for a wman to cover their hair”

You’re right it’s Not a Mitzva, it’s a Chiyuv. All the Shittos (which are actually very few, nowhere near a Rov) that I heard or learned about that were saying that going without hair being covered being Ok was only as a Limud Zecus, not that they held Mutter.
