I haven’t posted a wrap pic in a while, so here’s a recent one. This is the golden Israeli tichel from Wrapunzel in a color they don’t have anymore, and the pin is old too. I do have a black one of the same tichel, and ever since I cut them in half, I love them!

To be fair on that first one, the whole rest of the episode is about how the guy who took off his glove (and scratched his nose) caused a pandemic, so the narrative is explicitly not endorsing his actions.

I love Star Trek with all my heart, but good god, whenever I see them do "Science" it makes me laugh so hard because PPE and Safety Protocols are literally nonexistent

Not to mention WHERE is the fume hood......

And not a single Electronic balance to be seen

that haircovering discourse was so wild, and for what? did they actually change any minds, or... because i'm still at shul with a tichel on every shabbat, and i know at least three other people, also unmarried, who do the same or similar at my conservative synagogue.

right? honestly it just made me more committed to wanting to wear one when i get to that point in my journey.

the outright accusation that no one who makes that choice outside of that one very specific context could possibly have thought about it in depth and understand its significance was so condescending. the fact the op truly believes its purely an aesthetic choice that can't possibly be a deeply personal and informed choice is representative of a big issue within the jewish community where non-orthodox jews are looked down on as not "real jews".

[ID: A digital drawing of a redesigned Daphne Blake as a brown-skinned hijabi woman. Her colour scheme remains the same, but her clothes have changed to a loose-fitting dark purple dress with lighter purple belt with two stripes of the same colour on the skirt. She wears light purple high heel boots. Her sleeves are full length with a flowy, puffed-out shape. Her hair has been reimagined as an orange headscarf, with a light purple haircover underneath. Her eyes are still green.

She stands in a sassy pose with hands on her hips, smiling. /end ID]

Shalom! I was reading up on headcoverings for women and I'm curious about the different types and why women choose the different types and styles, for example. I also read someone say you need to be easily identifiable as a Jew and not as other religions if you wear headcoverings as a woman and I'm curious about where it says that in the whole thing of things, especially if you dont coveryour hair and people assume you're xtian and how that fits with not wanting to be identifiable for safety

Jewish women & covering

Those of y’all at non-Orthodox synagogues may have recently seen a woman (or non-binary person) at shul wearing something like this

[woman with pale skin and blonde wavy hair wearing a black scoop neck shirt, chunky green jewelry, and a thick burgundy headband with white, gold, and crimson paisley]

or this

[back of a woman’s head; she is wearing a black shirt, dangly earrings with two white beads, and a paisley scarf on her head tied in a knot over her bun in the back]

“What’s up?” You may be wondering. If you’ve been to (or live in!) Israel or are familiar with some Orthodox communities, you may recognize these scarves as tichels or mitpachat. So, why are some single women wearing them now? And why are they experiencing a resurgence among married women in Orthodox communities?

There are two main styles among Jewish women I’ve met who wear headscarves: to cover the top of their head (first image), or to cover all/most of their hair (second image). Both of these styles can be used for halchic reasons or for more personal spiritual/identity reasons. There’s so much diversity in style and use because of the varying traditions about how much to cover, when to cover, and why to cover.

In the “Hair Covering and Kabbalah” episode of the podcast “The Joy of Text” Rabbi Dov Linzer gives some textual sources about hair-covering, but I haven’t found these texts reflective of practice. He points to two sources, one that cites hair-covering as essential to modesty (and doesn’t bring marriage into the equation), and another that describes hair-covering as a custom for public spaces marking one as married, like wedding rings do today.

Traditionally, Jewish women’s hair/head-covering has been influenced not just by text but by the non-Jewish world around them. Practices have (and still do!) vary widely not just with halachic perspective, but also with the surrounding culture. Living in the medieval Arab world, Maimonedes described Jewish women wearing a chador, and, more recently, @reflected-blue​ cites a ruling for Israeli women from Muslim-majority countries who wear hijab-style scarves to cover their hair. The scarves worn by Russian Orthodox Christians don’t look too different from those worn by Russian Jewish Tzeitel, Hodel, Chava, and Golde in Fiddler on the Roof:

[three young women stand in an Orthodox church wearing traditional dresses, and bright jewelry. Two wear colorful patterned kercheifs covering their hair, the third also covers her head with a similar kercheif but wears her hair in a visible braid]

Jewish modesty law often acknowledges the effect modesty norms in the larger community should have on Jewish standards. So not just how to cover, but how much to cover, has varied by community. When my dad was growing up in the southern U.S., Jewish women often wore “church hats” to synagogue quite similar to those popular with their Christian neighbors, and many in today’s Modern Orthodox communities are familiar with the term “shul hat.”

So, in countries where headscarves are no longer the norm, why do some Jewish women still cover? And why has the tichel-style become so predominant?

Jewish women cover for lots of different reasons, but explaining the tichel style’s popularity is a little simpler. While I couldn’t find the origins of this style of hair-covering, I’m confident it’s exploded because Jewish women (as well as Christians, Muslims, African-diaspora women, cancer patients, and many others) wanted to cover their hair, didn’t know how, and the internet demystified this one. Why this one? I’m still not sure. But Youtube tutorials, networking with other women over the internet, and online stores like Wrapunzel have given women who want to cover the tools, skills, and communities they were waiting for.

So, what about those diverse reasons? Here are reasons why women from all stripes of Judaism have turned to scarves:

For women covering their hair, they’re comfier, less expensive, and more versatile than wigs.

To be publicly visible as Jewish in solidarity with men who are visible in kippot.

Do display Jewish identity; to dress for themselves, not anyone else.

For women covering their hair, to make covering their hair fun, to utilize it as an opportunity for personal expression.

To feel closer to Judaism, and alter how others perceive her

To cover their head in Conservative or similar synagogues for women who don’t like kippot or doilies

As a way to cope with bad hair days (me sometimes!)

The new pink glasses inspired me to try out some makeup fun! Since I’ve been in more pain lately I’ve not posted a #ticheloftheday selfie in a bit, so here ya are! Felt nice to dress up and take care of myself a little this way. Has anyone else tried tinted glasses to ward off headaches and light sensitivity? ♥️ #wotd #ootd #motd #queerfemme #queerjew #transjew #mixedrace #qtpoc #femmeofcolor #disabledandcute #disabledfashion #eds #ehlersdanlossyndrome #neuromyelitisoptica #POTS #haircovering #hairwrap #wrapunzel #arabjew #mizrahijews #mizrahi https://www.instagram.com/p/Bse_fmEh2Qp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sayqil3nkphx
