Description
  • Footage from the 1997 documentary “A Life Apart: Hasidism in America” (directed by Menachem Daum and Oren Rudavsky), the first in-depth documentary about Hasidic Jews, members of a distinctive group within Judaism that has roots in pre-World War II Eastern Europe. Interview with wig stylist. (Part 2) Terms you may encounter: Sheitl: Wig worn by married ultra-Orthodox women to cover their hair. Yeshivish/Litvish: Non-Hasidic ultra-Orthodox Jew. 00:00:18 - Chayele describes some advantages of wigs. Nomi remembers that it was also hard for her to get used to wearing a wig. Women who cover their hair with hats instead or shave their hair off entirely are used to it because they grew up with the custom in their community and they want to do what is considered the right thing. In response to a question she talks about some of the different clothing choices of Hasidic women, and ultra-Orthodox women like herself, who are Litvish (yeshivish) Jews. 00:06:23 - Nomi on how a wig should look natural but that you should always be able to tell it's a wig to confirm that you are a married woman. In response to a question, Nomi says that there is very little difference between the beliefs of Hasidim and yeshivish Jews, only different customs.
