Urgent questions - Tirupati hair-cutting,Rubert well informed

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

Thanks for all the very interesting inputs so far. Of course, I welcome

more...

Robert, you are extremely good informed. This is not only in the UK, but

first it originated in Israel, and immediately spread like flames in all the

Jewish Orthodox communities over the world. In New York, Jewish women are now

seen

with snoods in the streets, not wigs anymore. They'll change it for Synthetic

wigs, although possibilities are that there will be some Rabbinical

permissions soon too. The wigs which are certain to come from Europe, not India,

will be

permitted in any case. The New York Times had an article last week.

 

All the best,

Jacob

 

<< This subject " rings bells " for me - I read last week in one of the

 

newspapers here in UK, that Orthodox Jewish women were being told , by their

 

rabbis in Israel, not to wear wigs made of human hair, because someone had

 

found out that the source of this hair was from the Tirupati shrine - and

 

according to Jewish law, such hair cutting was idolatrous and therefore

 

incompatible with Judaism. These women have now, apparently, to wear

 

synthetic-made wigs.
