Kisui Rosh: Where and how much? (Parameters of the Mitzvah)
Listen now
Description
Here is where we get into the details of where a married woman's hair needs to be covered and how much. We begin by introducing the concept of “erva” and offer a perspective shift on how to understand the guidelines for modest dress in general. We explore the original sources for the discussion and the various approaches to how we apply those sources to our practical observance. We also discuss the interplay between kabbalah and halacha in the context of hair covering and the hashkafic perspectives that emerge from the sources in kabbalah on this topic.
