[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do Orthodox Jewish women wear wigs? Are they shaved underneath or have their natural hair? Why is it that Jews have traditionally been diamond cutters? They seem to run the show in this specialized profession (like in the diamond district in NYC).[/quote] Hair is considered sexual, so their hair is covered. It keeps their appearance modest. I have orthodox family members in NYC and Israel and all have regular hair underneath. Perhaps some women shave their heads but I don't know anyone who has done so. [/quote] About wigs there are some ultra orthodox Hassidic jews who have the custom to completely shave. Also there some rabbis mainly in israel who even prohibit wigs and onld permit snoods etc. Also some women have a custom to completely shave after a period since the hair grown during that time is considered impure since in jewish law the husband separateseparates from his wife [/quote]
