There are two new sheitel companies that sell very good European hair sheitels at terrific prices (in the $500 range, depending on the length). One is a Signature Wig, which I personally have and is really terrific (it’s the same as the more expensive ones without the huge markup). The other one is Sophia, which I have heard about, but have never personally seen, although they say that it is also very good.
I can’t believe that nobody pointed out yet that chalav yisroel is NOT a chumrah! Chalav Stam is a completely American invention due to the goverment standards that assure us that it is only cow’s milk. In halacha, there is Chalav Yisroel and Chalav Akum. “Jewish milk”, that was watched by a Jew is mutar to drink and “goyish milk” that was not watched is completely assur. R Moshe Feinstein gave a HETER in America to drink milk that is supervised by the goverment to ensure that it is only cow’s milk, hence a fairly modern term, Chalav Stam. To call Chalav Yisroel “just a chumrah” is completely innaccurate.
