The traditional Jewish community
has long been silent on the very personal, yet also public, matter
of married women covering their hair with hats, scarves, and even
wigs. Hide and Seek is the first book to
discuss this topic, and includes legal and sociological
perspectives of this observance, citing relevant texts and rabbinic
discourse, as well as the history, tradition, and customs of Jewish
communities from around the world. The book also includes 24
personal essays from women regarding this sensitive
issue.
