Wigs (Sheitel) versus Tichel (Head Scarf) A New Perspective

you know the whole issue with Wigs Wigs now this is a very very big M this is a very big dramatic issue in Judaism and it has been for some time especially in recent couple of generations where a couple of asazi said that a certain type of wig is allowed and then people translate to something completely different where they're pretty much saying that all wigs are allowed and not only all wigs are allowed there are wigs that are more beautiful than natural hair and you could sweep the flow with the wig and you're little movie star this is not what the Bim said even the ashkanazi number two then you have yeah but there was also a couple of spartic and one is saying that one of the great po OFA said yeah you're allowed to have wigs and he was spartic which is very rare for Safar to say the wigs are allowed he look like a but no as a matter of fact uh my is the of gon M which is one of the main students of who actually wrote the book with that put the answer about the whole wig being allowed or not allowed and he says no he didn't didn't allow the wig all he said is that a woman is allowed to wear a wig next to a husband inside the house if he's doing meaning if somebody wants to do kma he's not allowed to do kma next to a woman that doesn't have a hair covered his wife is not hair hair is not covered even though she's his wife he's not allow to next this is also the problem of what you know you go to certain shes where like reform and conservative shs where the men and women pray together it's a problem it's not only a problem that the rabbi is usually a dog or a cat or homosexual it's also a problem because a you have the uh people are uh you know mixed so now if somebody has if there's a woman that's not cover in her hair that is a uh is it thing woman is not covering hair you know to do CR next to her so said no if she wears a wig that's sufficient for the husband our own husband to do next that's sufficient covering of the hair he didn't say go outside and cover the hair right so now there people mistranslated it and there's even a even between another student of his another student of that according to somebody I never heard it from the actual student itself but according to somebody he says no he heard differently he said that it's okay because the problem is that his own wife wore wig now in the book he wrote an answer to this that said and he said listen when somebody came up to and said listen how you saying to do a wig if your own wife wears a wig your daughter-in-law is wearing a wig how are you saying that said did you come to me to ask me what's allowed or what do people do you understand smart right there so just because his wife did it doesn't mean that uh it's allowed the same goes with somebody came to was is very very strong against wigs very strong against wigs he he's recorded multiple times about being very strong against wigs but somebody one timean came to him you know the said how is it that your daughter-in-law your own daughter I'm not really sure if it was a daughter or daughter-in-law wears a wig and you're saying not to wear a wig says yes there's place for G also place he wasn't uh he wasn't joking around but if everyone is not doing it then like why should I do it you know it's hard because you are obligated to do what Hashem says not what people do if you were going to just compare yourself to what people do then you're going to within a week you're going to stop keeping everything why because you have 7 and a half billion people normal religious people do if they were with normal religious people is what a couple of million normal religious people out of the couple of million normal religious people not everybody necessarily has the highest level OFA some yes some no so the point being here is that sometimes I have to go back to the issue at hand sometimes I have an argument with somebody about wigs and uh at the end of the argument he tell him listen if you're ashkanazi and you want to rely on the ashkanazi pusin let's say you have wigs fine but you have to look at what rash the leading ashkanazi his time of Ki all of the major P even the ones that said didn't say it's not allowed but even if you look at the couple the couple that said it's allowed the couple none of them it's not the biggest PIM in the world but a couple had said it's that it's allowed they never said it's allowed that you have to have to have a wig from from your head all the way to your uh you know to your uh stomach I said if you're going to have wig it has to be short it has to be m that's number one can't make you more attractive so that's number one number [Music] two when you compare the wigs that they permitted in their days versus the wigs of today the Raa saying that the wigs of those days even a blind person would have known It's A Wig meaning they looked like straw they look like they look terrible so to say that you know the wigs of today the look better than better looking than the uh the Natural Born hair obviously this is not the same wigs that they permitted that's number two number three you have another issue you have another very big issue there only a couple that say it's okay but one of the said after doing research I found is at least 85 that say it's not allowed to wear a wig under any at least 85 of the leading P say it's not allowed at all so let's say you have two three maybe four say it's okay five those five are better than the other 85 the biggest giants of the generations so your whole life you're going to say it's okay to listen to those five to those three to those two but to go against the 85 you you're okay with that because the other the ones that say it's not okay they're not just saying it's not okay but you know what don't worry about it the ones that are saying it's not okay like for example the babaali babaali says a woman that wears a wig is going to see the downside of it when she goes to Gom because they're going to use the wig as material to burn her they're not very nice about it when they're saying you're not allowed they're not saying ah it's not a big deal it's a problem the ones that are against wigs it's a very very serious problem so you have 85 at least so that's that's number three number four that I don't think any is is the biggest one it's the biggest atomic bomb because it's the only one that no one's addressing right now if you want to listen to the P to this one to that one fine let's see you found yourself an excuse let's say you found yourself an excuse that you're going to listen to the B and wear a wig fine asazi Safari whatever you want to be here's the problem that no one's addressing after doing some serious research will come out with something eventually like some movie of some kind or whatever but after doing some serious research market research which is what I did for 16 years for a living it's almost impossible it's almost impossible to get a wig that doesn't come from Ab 99.99999% of all wigs come from India and China and they get their wigs from their temples people don't people are as as aan to their false gods shave their head that's their they do it every year and according to statistics they said that out of the billion people approximately the India has every family every person has has donated his hair at least twice every so 2 billion people pretty much donated just from India at least the minimum there are tens of thousands of tons from these temples to such an extent that everyone knows that the Vatican of the Vatican is the number one richest entity in the world right the Vatican they own more real estate than McDonald's who's the second richest entity in the world I'm talking about entity bigger than Apple bigger than IBM bigger than Walmart the Vatican is bigger than all of them who's number two Buddhist the Indian temple where they donate the hair what do they got because there's six people donating hair know because there's lines out the door out the building out the street out of the city every single day people donate in their hair pilgrims donate in their hair so now there's different shows you could look up on the internet if you want you could do your own research if you'd like until we get our research going to take some time uh you know put it into something but pretty much you see that all of the wigs are coming from this they but what happens there was a big balagan about a little over 10 12 years ago where somebody said this look all the wigs are coming from India so the made a big stink about it there was a big thing they started burning all the wigs in y but then somebody came out and said no no no no we're going to get kosher W we're going to go watch we're going to go to India and make sure that the people we're getting the hair from are not doing a FAL worship now whoever is naive enough to believe this nonsense good luck to you what can I tell I can't help you I can't I can't help somebody that's not willing to help [Music] thems or they say no no we're getting them from Europe that's what most people said no no we're getting European Wings we're getting European wigs yeah when was the last time you saw an Italian woman shaving their hair never never why because they value their beauty more than they value their life that's true my wife's Italian I know trust me they love beauty my my wife is a very beautiful woman she knows she she's the one that told me this she goes you serious you think that somebody Italian's ever going to shave their head for a few bucks for a few dollars for a million dollar she wouldn't shave her head what you crazy who shaves their head European wig no so that what we do okay so it doesn't make sense that the Italian are going to shave their head like maybe the French French French are even worse no chance they're going to shave their head they like they value their beauty even more than the Italians okay maybe the English no chance in the world so we start looking all over Europe no way no way it's not part of anyone's Heritage so then we started doing research we found this whole uh video uh by uh big news organization Research Place a guy that unfortunately a Jewish guy that started the wig business like made the the whole hair extension business uh maybe like 25 years ago and of course so this this person they had a whole interview about him guy became a billionaire after this and uh at least in this world he's a billionaire in next world but nonetheless he shows you his whole process of where this European wig is coming from and you see all of the European wigs all of the everything wigs India so says everything it just says you why because it goes from India then it goes for processing in China so it says made in China then then China sells it to England or France or some other place and then they do the next step of the processing once you start touching it painting it you know the the you know so you do something to it it becomes yours so then somebody asked okay what about the blonde wigs when was the last time you saw an Indian woman that's blonde my friend they paint them yeah and you see the same same movie they paint them blonde they paint them red they paint them whatever whatever ever color you want whatever color you want they paint them and they show you the whole process and it's all coming from India now to say that there's why do I say 99.9% because it's always possible unlikely but possible for somebody to go to somebody else and say listen I want to buy your hair and that person is saying okay some I don't know some Israeli I actually have a cousin like this uh her daughter wanted to be a hero and she wanted to donate her hair to some cancer patient yeah I heard about this so an Israeli girl donated our long hair some cancer patient okay but how many Israelis are doing this six seven they're not supplying the entire wig business or you have some woman in Wisconsin grew her hair over 20 years she sold it okay that's it she grew it she sold it it's over how many of those women in Wisconsin and Iowa do you have they're not supplying the tens of thousands of tons of wigs every year so that's why I say 99.9 % it's possible that you may have the one but it's unlikely why because the overwhelming majority of them it's coming from India so now you have a bigger problem than all of the pl you have a bigger problem than whether it's allowed to wear a wig or not allowed to wear a wig whether it's long or it's short whether it's black or it's white or it's red you have a different problem why because this specific issue no one allows what is this issue benefiting from a once something was ever used for you are never allowed to benefit from it there a whole about it you're never allowed to benefit out of it no Pro is going to tell you something different once it once it's used for that's it you must destroy it it's what hasem said go to but burn all of the uh the uh asure trees why burn the trees M skinny why we going to burn the trees we don't need to burn the trees it's hot we don't need it's not New York where it's freezing cold no no no all of those trees were used for once they were used for once somebody bow to them Must Destroy them you can't even look at them you can't benefit out of them you must burn them You Must Destroy them from the face of the Earth you can't even make pots and pans you can't make nothing from them You Must Destroy them once a wig comes from source of You Must Destroy it so now who can tell me with confidence what woman in the world can tell me or herself really when me who cares about me who can look in the mirror what woman in the world can look in the mirror with her nice long wig and look in a Mir and says you know what I am 100% confident that my wig came from a righteous person that's not doing idol worship sure 100% sure it has to be 100% it can't be 90 why because if it's 90 you're you're actually an idol worshiper supporting you're supporting idol worship it's not like it's a small s like listen you ate uh you know uh you ate something that's not like glot it's kosher but it's not glot Kosher it's not B it's not B it's not okay it's kosher but it's not like the greatest kosher level no it's not that it's idol worship or not that's a serious problem that's a serious problem so now you have yourself a serious problem so now I have these debates to go back you guys even remember the original argument why I even brought up this whole week situation so I said that sometimes I have debates with people that I know they're looking for the truth I remember a few lectures I did in New York I uh I said something that said a long time ago and he says this wig no wig only one question to anybody anybody wears a wig it's because they're trying to fulfill the will of hem they're trying to be righteous it's not they're not wearing a wig because they want to look like uh parison or some other prostitute they wearing a away because they are trying to do the will of hm trying to be righteous cover their hair usually wig no wig doesn't anybody ever ask themselves the question who's the only person who's the only woman that we mention in the Torah that showed her hair the the Wayward woman the woman that's being accused of possibly cheating on a husband part of the embarrassment of trying to convince her and intimidate her to admit that she cheated on her husband so they don't have to have a drink this water and kill her is by taking off the taking off the hair covering and showing her hair meaning that even a woman that cheated on a husband even of a woman that's a cheater even a woman that's a prostitute still would not go around with hair uncovered if she's married she scared away right so here's the thing so so again is asking the question why does everybody want want to look like the why does everybody want to look like the it's not a compliment to look like so now you have yourself a serious problem so sometimes I have this question when I said this in the New York lecture RAB which going to do a lecture by his place tomorrow that lecture huh you have someone argue with you in that lecture no no one argued I just said this during the lecture and Rabbi zon told that one of the women that came there came to him after the lecture and she says right now I'm taking I never thought about it that way from today on I'm covering my hair with scarf that's what happens when you see the truth she saw the truth she said I never thought about it this way I never thought just a big deal cover my hair wig this that but I never thought the only who wants to be like the on that minute he told him and he told me he sent me sent me a message he's like he wouldn't believe it the woman that day took on you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torah anytime.com
