A head covering for women is quite sufficient as it has to do with a symbol of authority, that is a wife subject to her husband. This is appropriate. This photo is laughable. What measures will some go to to try to appear more pious or religious than others? Here's a concept. How about rather than trying to make the woman invisible, you get a grip on your own thoughts? Such a concept. lolJoel Goldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-23215617526128534742011-12-06T14:51:39.417+02:002011-12-06T14:51:39.417+02:00As I understand it, it is against halacha to cover...As I understand it, it is against halacha to cover the face.

Our problem is that we've learned to identify this on our "left," the Reform, but not on our "right," as in the example of the burka women.

It is not allowed for a Jewish woman to go around all the time with her face completely covered. Remeber Tamar when she covered her face to disguise herself as a prostitute to attract Yehudah.<br />As far as I know, it is usual for brides to wear a veil at the time they're lead to her groom immediately before the wedding, however it doesn't apply that they should dress like a taliban. <br />Not a minhag, not a "ma'uddeen", just plain ignorance on halachah and adding to G-d's Word.<br />R.

Women have to sit at the back of the bus or face being beaten. Women have to walk on opposite sides of the street of men or cross the street if they see a man. Newspapers and magazines are defacing or just completely cropping out women if they're in a picture. In some neighborhoods, women aren't even allowed to drive.<br /><br />With that kind of Saudi Arabia mentality, is it any wonder that there are women in this community thinking that they need to completely deface themselves and do everything in their power to be negated as a human being when they're being treated as dirt on a man's show? We will soon see "Modesty Police" in these neighborhoods just like in Saudi Arabia. We're already seeing censor "Mashgichim" from the Sikrikim community going around and committing heinous acts of violence to get people in line with their definition of Tzniut. <br /><br />So seriously, is it any wonder this kind of behavior is gaining traction and getting more extreme? It's going going in line with the increasing radicalization in some sects in these areas.<br />-OCOlah Chadashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944285441651551482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-59542581889538948732011-12-01T13:41:03.037+02:002011-12-01T13:41:03.037+02:00Why publicize them?
