This is not a crown . This is a piece of shmateh. Sometimes it even looks nice, but it's ahsmateh not a crown

Girls, just DONT cover your hair. Nothing bad will happen I promise you!

Great video. I love how you explain your reasons for covering your hair. I'm getting married in 4 weeks, iy'H. I have a sheitl, a truck load of tichels :) and a few hats. I can't wait til I can wear them, I'm very excited. Thanks for confirming how important and how normal it is to cover your hair as a married Jewish woman.

When you think about it,it's just easier and more confortable to wear the scarf(Tikhel)it also makes me feel that I'am following the commandment more by wearing it because Sheitel is still the same as not covering your hair it looks the same and it's so sumb that you have to shave your hair.Its more easier just putting the scarf on your hair and faster.

Another thing, I wish that more women would cover up. Not to the point of covering their hair or entire body but to the point of being a bit more decent. I sometimes see women with protruding bellies hanging out of halter tops and butts pouring out of shorts tht really shld be covered. At 1 time in Amer history this would've been seen as lady of the night kind of activity. Sometimes you can't tell who is a lady of the night and who is a wife and mother shopping for grocery for her family.

LOL i live in israel and only in the extremly religous areas do women do that, eugh...well do whatever makes you happy i guess.

How is it discounting yourself to be happy to be married? Married people no matter what their religion are happier than unmarried people.

[Seefood73]

now that is a very problematic proposition. I know many people stuck in a very unhappy marriage and also many happy people living a full satisfying life with or without a monogamous relationship and no Ktuba on the wall.

I find the idea of self fulfillment only by being married (read "sold to another man" in Jewish law) and pregnant is a very sad one. especially the way presented here: marriage means hiding your hair, but "oh, what a nice hat! I'm happy again!". REALLY?

[Seefood73]

umm, how is your hair more private than your remaining exposed body (hands, eyes, mouth?), aren't those are private too?

"even got a complement from my husband"?! are your expectations from life and marriage really set this low?!

I can understand that within your community, being married and a mother are the highest/only things to strive for. I see how you speak so proudly about acquiring the new status and the hats that go with it. It's just hard to see you so proud of discounting yourselves.

I thought the intetd of covering the hair was modesty. Not only is the hair covered but also the woman dresses modestly so as not to wear clothing that focuses on the figure and shape of the woman. Although her other body parts show they aren't revealed in such a way intended to entice. And she controls what is seen. I personally think in our very physical focused society if a woman want to cover herself so that he entire body isn't put out on some meat markt more power to her.

Anyway, it's halachah.
