And he mentions the issue of marit ayin not being a problem, with the clear implication that the wigs he was speaking about looked just like human hair.<BR/><BR/>It is available <A HREF="http://parsha.blogspot.com/2007/10/igros-moshe-on-wigs-and-shavers-part-i.html" REL="nofollow"> here</A>.<BR/><BR/>There is also a relevant sicha by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in this regard, where he recommends wigs as unlikely to be removed in embarrassment (unlike tichel), for they look better than the woman's own hair, which I can track down if you are interested.<BR/><BR/>I also have a long article proving sheitels permitted based on some very different halachic methodology than the ones Rav Moshe Feinstein et. al. (meaning e.g. Pri Megadim and Mishna Brura) used to permit, of the sort that Rav Elyashiv shlita in all likelihood did not consider, for methodological reasons. See <A HREF="http://parsha.blogspot.com/2007/10/wigs-are-permitted-part-ii.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/><BR/>I would note that there is nothing new in Rav Elyashiv's recent statement; he had an identical statement about sheitel being erva and assur deOrayta, because it differs from wigs of old, back in 2006.<BR/>Kol Tuv,<BR/>Joshjoshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-10554383842517173092008-11-04T14:58:00.000-05:002008-11-04T14:58:00.000-05:00I'm searching for part 1 of this article.... but y...I'm searching for part 1 of this article.... but you've blocked off the search box with an advert and I can't get to it.... so if you could let me know, I'd be grateful.<BR/>thanks....Devorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793434651294780439noreply@blogger.com
