Many religions of the world are particularly demanding that a person observe modesty in dress and behavior. Thus, among Muslims, wearing a hijab is not an attempt to somehow stand out from non-believers. This is just the need for modesty of a truly religious person, who puts faith in the first place in his life, and not some external attributes.
Depending on religious dogmas, this requirement of modesty can take more or less severe forms. In Judaism, there is a special law regulating the norms of behavior of Jewish women. It is called tzniut (or tzniut). According to this law, a woman is obliged not only to wear a headdress, but to completely hide her hair under a headscarf (tikha).
Why do some Jewish women shave their heads?
The most radical branches of Judaism are very demanding about the appearance of women. Even one’s own wife or daughter should not distract a Jew with her inappropriate appearance when he is reading the Torah or saying a prayer. This means that she is obliged to hide her body and hair not only on the street, but also directly in her home. In Judaism, women's hair is considered a temptation that distracts a man's thoughts from God and directs them into sinful channels. Loose hair violates all the laws of tzniut. Even a strand or a single hair that escapes from under a scarf is considered immodest and provocative.
In order not to plunge their husbands into sin, true Jewish women shave their heads bald. This is customary among the wives of the Toldot Aharon Hasidim and some other Orthodox groups. Hasidic spouses not only shave their skulls bald, but also cover them with a scarf.
This part of the Jewish population has particularly harsh laws. Hasidim call themselves “pious” (the word itself translates as “pious”), strictly observe the laws adopted several thousand years ago and are not going to make any concessions to please modern fashion.
Other rules of conduct for a Hasidic wife In addition to the need to shave their heads and cover their heads with a headscarf, women from this group of Jews have to completely hide their bodies. They should not wear dresses that reveal their calves, even if they are wearing thick stockings. Showing off one's knees is the height of depravity for a Jewish woman. For such behavior, a woman can suffer the most severe punishment, being spat on and beaten.
Hasidim are extremely intolerant of liberties in clothing. Even an inappropriately dressed 8-year-old girl can be subjected to public reproach, and her mother, who does not monitor her daughter’s piety, even more so. Some Orthodox Jewish groups even wear the niqab. These are long black shawls in which a woman wraps herself completely, including her hands, face and eyes. Such severity in observing modesty is not accepted even among Muslims.

The post Why do Jewish women shave their heads appeared first on Umnaya.
“Pretty will deceive, beauty will go away, but the glory of a God-fearing woman will remain.”- written in the book of Proverbs of Solomon (31:10). In Tanakh, the Mishnah and the writings of the sages praise modesty as the main virtue of a Jewish woman. Does this mean that a religious woman should not strive for beauty? We talked about this with Chaya-Beila Kogan, who helps women in the Moscow community become more charming and attractive.
-Chaya-Beila, wigs for religious Jewish women are a rather specific industry. Why did you decide to do this??
Usually, good ideas come after some difficulties that need to be overcome. I had to think about making money very early: at the age of five my mother left me, I still haven’t seen her, and at sixteen my father died. However, I took good “preparatory courses” at my father’s farm near Yekaterinburg. My father was a talented entrepreneur: he founded a farm from scratch, cultivated fields where vegetables and wheat were grown, opened a restaurant and three shops. The restaurant received meat and fresh vegetables from its own agricultural production. One summer, I liked very beautiful sandals at the market, I was 11 years old, I asked my dad for money. “If you want money, learn how to earn it!", - he said.
Dad always said: “You need to work only for yourself.” He was one of the wealthiest people in the region, but he taught us to work and earn money ourselves. During the summer holidays at the age of 11, I began working on his farm, along with other people he hired. I started by washing the floors in the store, then - at the packaging, then at the checkout, and was also involved in purchasing for the store. Then I moved to a restaurant and there I also worked my way up from the very bottom: I sorted and peeled potatoes, washed floors, cut salads, until my dad taught me how to cook hot dishes. By the age of 14, I was already managing his restaurant and store. True, with such a schedule, I rarely went to school.
And my dad also taught me to steal... Calm down - nothing criminal! He taught me to adopt and absorb, like a sponge, everything useful from people - their knowledge, abilities, skills - this is what he called “theft.” When my dad noticed how much I loved everything related to beauty, he brought me to one of the most successful salons in Yekaterinburg, introduced me to the masters and said: “learn, steal their skill with your eyes!»
But now I was left alone, and it so happened that I got nothing from my father’s property. His inheritance passed to other, more legally savvy relatives. “Father achieved everything himself, and I will do the same!” I told myself. I was confident that I could feed myself. At first I did manicure, makeup and hairstyles. I always liked helping women become beautiful and I dreamed of opening my own beauty salon.
– The “beauty industry” is very vast. Why wigs?
I started making wigs after my wedding. I got married in the “crisis” year of 2009, according to the Jewish calendar - 5769. Just between our engagement and wedding there was a “blessing of the sun” - Birkat Hama, which happens once every 28 years. I think this has been an added blessing for both our family and my business.
At that time, it was very difficult to buy a beautiful wig in Moscow. The girl in the wig could be spotted from afar - they looked so poor and “doll-like”. And here you can say “by chance” (in fact, nothing happens by chance in our life), I met a man who made wigs in Israel. At first, it seemed to me, he didn’t even take me seriously - what kind of business could a 20-year-old girl get into? Nevertheless, he decided to try to work with me, for which I am very grateful to him. I succeeded - sales started. Then I realized that I wanted to run a business independently of anyone, determine my own pricing policy and conduct procurement.
I contacted suppliers, and then the peaniyot themselves (women who sew wigs), began purchasing hair and developing sales in Moscow. At first, of course, she made mistakes, but she corrected them herself. In the process of working, I learned to distinguish high-quality products from low-quality ones, and began to understand different types of hair and sewing technologies.
As a result, clients themselves reached out to me. Among them there are those who buy their second or third wig from me. When a customer comes back to you again and again, it means he likes the product.
-Have you kept the commandments since childhood?
No, from the time when dad passed away. Of course, Bukharian Jews respect traditions. So on Friday evening, dad put osvo (Bukhara cholent) on the stove, I lit candles, my four brothers and sister and I sat down at the table, sang Shabbat songs, made kiddush, had a meal, read the blessing after it and... went to watch the news on TV . Now I understand the comical and incorrect nature of what was happening, but at the time it seemed like a normal state of affairs. Although we did not fully observe Shabbat and holidays, I knew about them from childhood. When dad left, I began to observe everything, fulfilling every commandment in the name of uplifting his soul.
My father really wanted me to create a religious family and give him many grandchildren, but there were no Jewish schools nearby. Since he was a farmer, we could not move to the city, and I had to study in a regular rural school for the first years. Dad did not allow me to talk not only with boys, but also with girls, because he was afraid that the village young ladies would teach me bad things. At first I suffered from a lack of communication, but then it turned out that his fears were not in vain - the morals in that village were terrible.
Later, my dad sent me to the Or Avner Jewish school in Yekaterinburg. My five brothers and I had to get up at 6 am every day in order to get to the city in time for the start of classes... Dad wanted to give me a more serious education. But in Or Avner, boys and girls studied together and dressed as they wanted. This did not suit him, and he sent me to Moscow - to the Beit Yehudit school under the leadership of Rivka Weiss. She also influenced me a lot. The Rebbetzin always appreciated good taste, both at home and in appearance, decorated the rooms with vases of flowers and always told the students how important it was to take care of themselves. I won't forget how she once said: “If a woman doesn’t automatically straighten her wig when leaving the house, she’s not okay!» . Such scrupulousness towards appearance she brought it from her family - she herself is from Antwerp. Her daughters and daughters-in-law also always look very beautiful, expensive, tasteful and at the same time very modest!
-Why are wigs so expensive?
There are also relatively cheap ones. But, in general, you are right - a good wig is quite expensive due to its rather complex production. The price of a wig is mainly influenced by several factors. Firstly, this is a “skin”, that is, an imitation of the scalp. This part is done entirely by hand, each hair is sewn on separately. A centimeter of this work is very expensive, therefore, the larger your “skin”, the more expensive the wig. Now about the hair... High-quality, unprocessed hair is very, very expensive. My dear girls, here I will tell you a secret: the fact that the hair is natural does not mean that it is human. Many companies make wigs from horse tails and manes. There are even separate farms where animals are raised specifically for sale. Of course, these “hairs” undergo processing, so it is very difficult to distinguish them from human ones. Therefore, when buying a wig, ask not about the naturalness of the hair, but about its origin.
And it happens that the hair is both natural and human, but it is only cut not from a living person, but from someone who has already died. In this case, the wig also turns out to be cheap, since the dead, as a rule, do not ask for much money.
-Horror!
Sorry to shock you. In my opinion, for a woman to feel beautiful, it is worth paying, just like for jewelry, for beautiful clothes. In fact, these are the bricks from which shlom-bait is built - peace in the family.
If you find your wig, then it becomes a part of you. New wig – new image. Think about walking around with this hair all day, holding negotiations with this hairstyle, going to weddings, spending Shabbat in it. And most importantly, you will please your husband not only because you are beautiful, but also because you feel confident and simply wonderful. Husbands feel it, it makes him even happier and in love! And the people around you will perceive you accordingly. You shouldn't skimp on things like this.
-So, the more expensive the wig, the better it is?
Not always. Sometimes a high price is formed due to a well-known brand. If the wig is simply sewn by Israeli or American peanite, the price is average, Chinese “creativity” is much cheaper. I once tried to buy myself an inexpensive wig and was very disappointed. This is comparable to buying a fake of an expensive brand on the market...
Anyone who understands wigs immediately sees the difference. I can determine the approximate prices of even those wigs that I do not hold in my hands, but see on the heads of women passing by me. The difference is not only in the thickness, beauty and origin of the hair, but also in the quality and service life of the wig. I am confident in my wigs, so I give a one-year guarantee. Even if on the last day of the warranty they bring me a wig and say that its color has changed or a lot of hair has fallen out, I will send it for repairs at my own expense. I really want to help everyone who wants to have a good quality wig, but as we said above, it’s not cheap, so I have an installment system from three months to half a year. In addition, I give discounts to regular clients and brides.
-Does the styling of a wig have to be special?
The same thing - you have to pay for quality. In Moscow, many girls know how to style wigs, some do it for a very small fee. But when I was looking for someone to work with, I wanted to find a professional. And I found such a person. My partner, Rahel Manuilova, studied at special courses for hairdressers and stylists, after which she studied with the Israeli “peanites” with whom I work. I give a guarantee to those who style their wigs with her, because I am sure that everything was done correctly. Special care is needed here because the hair does not receive vitamins and nutrients from the inside.
Rachel's services are not the cheapest, but they are worth it. She does everything with the highest quality and beauty!
-What's the problem with Indian wigs? Why are they banned from wearing them?
This is not an easy problem. In general, soft, thin and beautiful hair. However, it turned out that in some Indian cults it is customary to sacrifice women’s hair to local deities, and then sell it cheaply and give the money to maintain pagan temples. Jews are strictly forbidden to receive any benefit from idolatry, and accordingly, to wear such wigs. However, according to one opinion, this is allowed.
-Is it difficult to find a suitable wig?
Giving advice and choosing the right wig is an important part of my work. My goal is to make the girl beautiful. You can, of course, simply lay out the goods and tell the buyer: “look - choose,” but this is not professional. The buyer is waiting for help. You can go to a hairdresser, tell them how to cut your hair - and the hairdresser will do everything according to your wishes, or you can go to a stylist who will determine what kind of image you have and choose a hairstyle to match it - that’s why he’s a professional.
In my business, it is absolutely necessary to give the client advice in choosing - after all, a woman spends a lot of money, she doesn’t want to make a mistake. If I see that a client has doubts about a purchase, I advise waiting for a new batch. Then together we can choose exactly what she needs. It happens that we search for the right image for a whole year. If, as a result, the customer leaves satisfied, then my work is not in vain, and I also feel happy.
-There is an opinion that wearing luxurious wigs is immodest.
Such girls are not among my clients. Everyone follows the traditions of their community. I can only express my opinion on this matter. Of course, a Jewish girl should be modest. Sometimes it feels like you need to wrap yourself in several scarves. Meanwhile, behaving modestly means not standing out. Who are you more likely to notice on the street - a girl in a hijab or a wig? I always pay attention to the first ones. We should not unduly attract attention to ourselves. This is what modesty is all about, they value it. In addition, we are now in Galut, where it is not advisable to wear headscarves in the evenings.
Modesty does not contradict beauty. A Jewish woman must be beautiful, she is the face of Israel, a representative of the people. What good is it if a religious Jewish woman looks unkempt? And if a woman who has three, four, five children takes care of herself and looks great, her very appearance sanctifies the Name of the Almighty.
-Are more women interested in wigs now?
Certainly. More and more Jews are returning to the faith, more married women are covering their heads. I repeat: it is very important that observant women remain beautiful. People should see that observing the commandments of the Torah does not disfigure, but, on the contrary, beautifies. I had a case when one poor girl got married and wore a terrible artificial wig. I happened to have just the wig that would suit her. She couldn’t afford the purchase, but it suited her so well that in honor of her upcoming wedding, I sold it at a loss.
-What can you tell us about different technologies –lace front, baby hair?
Baby hair is hair sewn into the inside of a wig. Previously, hair was sewn onto the top of a wig. Baby hair technology allows you to erase the boundary between the wig and your head and wear it without bangs. It looks natural and lasts a long time. In addition, it is very practical for those who love updo hairstyles. Baby hair can be added to any wig if desired.
Lace front is a thin flesh-colored mesh on which hair is sewn, thanks to which the effect of growing hair is created. This is a more fancy and expensive material. Using this technology, hair wears out faster, but it lasts for 2-3 years (if it is high-quality, and therefore expensive) work. Then they are hemmed again. There are a lot of nuances here. The mesh should match the color of the skin, it should be cut correctly. Refinishing lace front is quite expensive, sometimes it is more profitable to buy a new wig.
-What are you dreaming about?
About many things! Professionally, I would like to open a beauty club, a whole service full preparation women to the mikvah, fulfilling a childhood dream. Jewish women have a certain approach to beauty, their own laws. Services must be provided with exceptional quality. This is a big commandment!
Stern interviewed by Sarah Belkina
My name is Sterna Sarah, like the wife of the Fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe. I would like to be as wise, kind and feminine. Graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov (television journalism), studied for a master's degree in philology at the Russian State University for the Humanities. She managed to gain experience in various online and print publications and on television, but in recent years, before getting married and moving to Israel, she worked for the benefit of the Moscow community, realizing that it was this work that brought real benefit to the world. Having moved, I continue to write, maintain a blog about tzniut and with my own thoughts about the Torah and the Jewish way of life, and collaborate with the Vaikra and monoteism.ru projects. I love studying, especially Chassidus, which gives me vitality, fitness and snowboarding, which give me energy and, of course, writing, which allows me to express myself and create.
The life of an Orthodox Jew, that is, strictly following the religious rules, is extremely regulated. The Torah has advice on literally everything - from what to eat to who and how to marry. A romantic relationship between two religious guys begins with an acquaintance through a matchmaker, which is called shidduch. Matchmakers are dangerous and respected people. They are the ones who evaluate the potential spouse, his family, environment, ask neighbors, acquaintances and friends about him and, based on the information collected, select a suitable match. It is important to select young people who are suitable for each other in all respects - the degree of observance of religious customs, character, origin. For example, in Israel, most often people who moved from Europe, that is, Ashkenazis, marry an Ashkenazi, preferably by origin from the same area, and, accordingly, those who moved from Iraq, Iran, Yemen, that is, Mizrahi, marry from Mizrahi.
Marriage for a religious person is, first of all, the observance of a mitzvah, that is, a sacred obligation, a covenant. “Be fruitful and multiply” - this was once said, and no one has yet canceled this.
Shiduch, that is, the first meeting of the future couple, takes place in some public place, for example in a park. Young people sit at a respectable distance from each other and discuss not the weather, not love, or even politics, but how their future marriage and everyday life will be structured. During the conversation, it becomes clear how many children they want (and there are a lot of children in religious families), how they plan to earn a living, where to live - with their mother or what? And many other details that help determine whether a candidate is suitable for the role of a life partner. It is the attitude towards marriage that is important, not appearance. As they say, you will fall in love in the process.
The shidduch was successful, the plans and views of the young people on life coincide, what next? Then the parents meet, a marriage contract and a wedding a month later. The newlyweds sign a document that lists the responsibilities of each spouse and indicates the amount that the party that violated the contract will pay to the injured party.
What are the ideal Jewish husband and wife required to do? As the Torah says, the original man was created neither male nor female, but as a united being, only after which the division into man and woman occurred. And the goal of any marriage is to return to the original united state, to merge together, to unite souls and become one perfect being. Well, to be fruitful and multiply, of course.
The main family commandment, in addition to maintaining peace in the house, is, of course, children. As many children as possible. In religious families, as a rule, the number of children can reach 13–14, well, at least seven people or more. Is it difficult?
The fathers of the family spend their days worrying and working. Whether they run their own business, study at a religious school - yeshiva, or combine the first, second and sometimes even some third, they are busy. As for the woman, she takes care of the house and children. The wife devotes herself to the house and the older children, the older children devote themselves to the middle children, and the middle children devote themselves to the younger ones, so it turns out that keeping track of a dozen little brats becomes not so difficult.
Of course, any subject, even one as peaceful, calm and prosperous as a Jewish family, has its shocking moments. For example, Jewish women from very Orthodox communities shave their heads and wear wigs. And a million questions immediately arise. Well, first of all, why? There are two reasons. The first is religious, married woman She must show with all her appearance that she is already busy and unavailable. Therefore, her head should always be covered with something. The second reason is that hair is sexy. If a woman pays too much attention to her sexuality, this can distract her husband from the most important activity in life - studying the Torah. It is because of this fact that the wig making industry is very developed in Israel.
A Jewish husband has an express religious obligation to fulfill his marital duty. At least twice a week. However, there is also back side medals - since all actions must be aimed at fulfilling the divine will, and one of the rules is maintaining modesty, sometimes the fulfillment of marital duties occurs in the presence of a third extra thing - a sheet covering nakedness.
An Orthodox Jew must observe a minimum of 613 rules of the Pentateuch daily. According to them, not only food, but also clothing is kosher. When making it, for example, you cannot combine wool with linen, but it is sewn by special tailors. All men's clothing is strictly black and white, from underwear to hats. It is immodest for women to expose their legs, arms and décolleté. They never wear trousers, tight dresses and blouses, short and tight skirts, and wear stockings or knee socks at any time of the year.
Orthodox (classical, unchanged) Judaism involves living according to the “true” Torah. Every aspect of a Jew's life must be governed by the appropriate commandments. Every day, Jews are required to study Torah and bring their personal lives in accordance with regulations and rituals, including strict rules for observing Shabbat (Jewish Saturday is a mandatory day off), dietary rules (http://jkuk.boxmail.biz/cgi-bin/guide.pl ?action=article&id_razdel=127790&id_article=223054), the rite of circumcision, prayers three times a day, etc. By the way, in Judaism there is no ban on drinking alcohol, but the consumption of wine and alcoholic beverages is strictly regulated. Orthodox Jews place a high value on the rabbi's authority as a teacher and interpreter of the Torah. They place the main emphasis on traditional education and make the greatest demands on their followers.
The ultra-Orthodox wing of Judaism is Hasidism - religious movement, originating in the 18th century. and characterized by a tendency towards mysticism and religious exaltation. The main ideas of Hasidism are as follows: God is omnipresent, and serving him in small things is equivalent to serving in great things; It is better to serve him in joy; there is something good in every person; There is no sinner whose sin cannot be atoned for. Special meaning attached to emotional prayer, the purpose of which is to achieve genuine spiritual communication with God. Although Hasidism was influenced by Kabbalah (the science of the universe), Hasidim shunned asceticism (renunciation of life's pleasures, limitation or suppression of sensual desires, voluntary enduring of physical pain, loneliness, etc.) and sought to unite in religious groups. Hasidim adhere to a strict dress code. They wear a white shirt with black short pants tucked into their socks. Over the shirt they wear an old-fashioned black bonnet or jacket. Hasidim wear shoes without buckles or laces, which, like trousers tucked into socks, symbolizes distance from earthly dirt. Hasidim almost always wear a black felt hat on their heads, from under which the sidelocks (long, untrimmed strands of hair at the temples) are visible. traditional element hairstyles of Orthodox Jews, according to the tradition of Judaism, a Jewish man must have sidelocks, a beard and certainly a headdress). Hasidic men always grow mustaches and beards. Particularly venerable rebbes (the title of teacher) wear shtreiml fur hats (usually a black velvet yarmulke trimmed with black or brown fox or sable tails). A special symbolic role in clothing is played by a black belt, which is tied either at the level of the heart (Chabad), or at the level of the stomach, or at the level of the hips (Gur Hasidim). Hasidim try not to wear a tie, as it resembles the shape of a cross. Some married Hasidic women shave their heads and wear wigs. Economic foundations of the Hasidic community: many Hasidic men usually do not work in their youth, that is, before marriage and in the first years after it, but devote all their time to studying the Torah, but nevertheless, work for a Hasidic man is not considered an abnormal phenomenon. Many communities in Israel and the United States engage in political lobbying to obtain public funds for the subsistence of their members. At the same time, Hasidic communities have created for their members a wide network of public recognition and mutual assistance, helping in solving problems Everyday life- interest-free loans, assistance in obtaining housing, free canteens, distribution of food for the needy, dowry assistance to poor brides, legal protection and much more. Traditional activities Hasidim - real estate business and construction contracts, diamond business, trade, mediation, financial market.
Creepy Tradition: On the eve of Yom Kippur (that is, on the day on the evening of which Yom Kippur is supposed to begin), some communities perform a custom kapparot- "redemption". Men take a live rooster, women a hen, and then twirl the bird over their heads, saying: “Let this be my atonement... Kapparot, of course, is not considered as a way to atone for sins.
Personal observations: young wives, surrounded by small children on all sides because of which they are wildly stooped, with a towel on their heads because they are bald, do not look happy. Seeing the wedding photos of two girls, I didn’t recognize them: standing there was a beautiful, young, rosy-cheeked girl with a full head of hair. long hair, with clear eyes, next to her it looks almost like a grandfather, having looked closely... no, not a grandfather, also a young guy, but in a fur hat and with a beard he looks like a grandfather. And now I’m observing a noticeable difference: a girl who, I think, is younger than me, looks like an aunt who has developed severe scoliosis due to the fact that she is constantly nursing children, two 7- and 6-year-old boys are running along the street, periodically running home and at least something from mom, vying with each other, shouting, “mami, mami...,” two of them are 3-4 years old, messing around at home, beating each other, one crawls and cries all the time, because... he is touched by these, and one child, who seems to be a girl, hangs on his mother and screams, the little ones don’t look like very healthy children, red stained eyes every time I see them, tangled hair, when will I comb them all, screaming, crying and you also need to cook and eat, because... food must only be cooked and kosher. The husband comes, the one in the photo, still the same, without wrinkles, bursting with health, unlike his wife, who has such circles under her eyes, as if she hasn’t slept at night for 7 years, well, since she gave birth to her first, she still hasn’t slept Since then, he came, ate, tinkered with the children for 5 minutes, said honey-hani, an affectionate address to his wife, a couple of times, and went for a walk, probably on the evening promenade. And she washes the dishes, loads all the children into one bathroom, they mess around there, and go to bed. She cleans the children's shoes, loads a bunch of laundry, irons a bunch of things, then the 6-month-old wakes up and screams, but she doesn't give a damn, she continues to do her household chores, and this one, by the way, is already choking from crying, baking pies, biscuits and, I hope , ever goes to bed, she has a separate bed from her husband... In the morning she gets up, if she went to bed at all, shaves her head and does everything all over again. The entertainment for these wives is this: talking on a mobile phone, stuffing it under a towel with which they cover their heads, because... her hands are mostly occupied with children, with their many sisters, from there you can find out all the news, tell what pies she made today, here you don’t need the Internet or TV at all. Not life, but paradise in quotes!
p.s. they call noise-humour -hipish-Odessa word :)
Joke of the week
One Jew built a house and shows it to a friend:
- Look, Izya, this is the hallway, this is the kitchen, this is the bedroom, and this is the dining room...
- Abram, why do you need such a large dining room???
- Izya. People can dine in this dining room at the same time, God forbid,
fifty people!!!
