Discussion of the two rabbis - 9 individual questions and answers

Description

Question: Why does your wife wear only a headscarf, and not a wig? Question: It is known that it’s already written in the Talmud that women wore wigs -and that is the basis for the permitting opinion of rabbis of past generations (Shiltei Giborim, Rama, and others.). - Is that so?! Question: But our great-grandmothers in Russia and Europe wore wigs! We have a tradition which we rely on. Question: A wig is forbidden because of Mar’it Ayin as, for example: fish blood is forbidden (if some may think that it’s a blood of an animal which is forbidden). Meaning the whole point of prohibiting wigs is that people may think that it's a woman's own hair. But today there's no such problem since everyone knows that it's a wig. Question: The purpose of the obligation to cover one's head is for other's not to think that a married woman is not married-but today they know she's married. Question: There are many standpoints concerning this law, permitting and forbidding - and those that wear wigs rely on the permitting ones (which are the main Rabbis of their generation - Shiltei Giborim, Rama and others). Question: What about emunat chachamim- we must do what Rabbis tell us, and all say: but my Rav allowed. Question: What do you say about a modest wig ? Question: What about Shlom-Bayit (peace in the home)-if a husband wants for his wife to wear a wig?
