If Jewish women were ordered to cover their hairs and bodies ,why do they wear wigs instead?

Question

If the idea is to cover the hair for keeping men temptation at bay, why do Jewish women wear wigs instead of covering their hair. And why is that Muslim women and chritistian nuns are the only who followed God's instructions? This makes me wonder!

Answer 1

you raise an interesting question on what exactly is the nature of a woman covering ones hair in Jewish law.

first off their are authorities that say that a wig is not good enough and their are many women that cover their hair in a smiler fashion that Muslim women do.

but their are people that say a wig is good enough. The reason for that is that the covering of ones hair is not exactly for the purpose of keeping men's temptation at bay, but so that her husband is the only man that sees her natural hair. This add's to the itemency of their relationship and in that case a wig is perfectly permissible.

Answer 2

I never knew that wearing a hat (or any head covering) could reduce a man's natural inclination towards temptation. I always thought it was their own religious and moral values. Gee, if I had known that sooner, I would always have warn a hat. Instead I ended up with 6 children (adults now). I must have missed it when God said to wear a head covering. But I listened when he said to go forth and multiply. LOL. (I do believe that the hat or head covering issue was a religious "law" created and imposed by men as is so often the case) And what does it make you wonder, that the only "correct" religion is muslim? Why don't you stop being so intolerant of others religious beliefs and practices? Again, I am NOT a Christian or a Jew.

Answer 3

Jewish women persons are required to ascertain they teach none of their hair in public. How they flow about doing that would nicely be quite a few diverse methods. some Like Satmar, shave their heads. maximum others merely conceal their hair, both with a wig or with another overlaying inclusive of a fabrics or hat. Why would they conceal hair with hair because a nicely made and perfect worn, wig looks better then the different possibilities or perhaps as maximum folk will declare they could spot a wig each and every time i do no longer trust all of them can. yet a bald head or one with a headband will actual get talked about.

Answer 4

God always ask ladies in all religions to cover their hair that's why you Will find Marry covering her hair but the main reason why Jewish dint follow that, is that they dint want to look like Muslims because they hate Islam and Muslims.

Answer 5

In Judaism the covering of the head is a tradition, and not a commandment (Mitzvah). It is sign of respect to G-d that many Jewish people follow.

Answer 6

Where are God's instructions to cover the head?
