Israel – ‘Taliban Women’ Introduce New Headpiece

    67

    Israel – Have the “Taliban women” invented a new strict modesty rule? According to testimonies received by Ynet’s local portal, Mynet, the radical group of ultra-Orthodox women dressed in cloaks has begun wearing a cloth-covered tube on their heads in order to conceal their human figure.

    A source close to the group reveals that “the stricter members have decided that the veil is not enough, as the form of their face can still be seen. The solution found is a sort of pipe in the form of a funnel, which they wear on their heads under the veil.”

    As if the chareidi women don’t already have enough meshugaas to deal with, these new chumrahs take tzinius to new absurd extremes. When we look at photographs and paintings of the wives of many gadolim and tzadikim from the alte heim from the 1800s and 1900s we see normal conservatively dressed women. Today, however, women make themeselves look like a bunch of cartoon like figures in pursuit of non-existant halachic requirments.

    All this mishugas is the result of a generation of Jews who don’t work, but place maximum value on being more “frum” than the next person. We need mentchlichkeit, not frumkeit. Because of the vast waste of the current generation, we are starting to resemble the ignorant muslims.

    Well, at least now the Yated and Hamodia will be able to show pictures of women.

    Tznius is about being a dignified and refined person that does not draw the wrong type of attention to oneself. When I see these women on the street, you cannot imagine how many stares they attract, even in Meah Shearim. This is the opposite of true tznius.

    another 10 years and all chasidim will be dressed like this… All it takes is one rebbe to say its a good idea and everyone else will not dare to be less frum… By then all the lakewood women will be wearing shawls.

    Last week I saw two women in Meah Sharim walking with refrigerator boxes over them. Some one told me that they are protesting that their husbands took away their burkas.
    LOL!!

    Why do no Rabbonim state clearly and unambiguously that this is ossur? Everything else you can think of is ossur.

    They are heightening the awareness of tzinuyes; so that every other group will move up a notch or 2 in their observance of tziniyos.
    The tzadik reb Yoel of Satmar, on many occasions said that the reason he leads his chasidem to higher levels of observance and of cumres in inyanim of kashres, modesty of dress, education, etc., is because it raises the levels of observance of the lesser groups.
    You could well imagine how chhlov akim would have been prevelant without the Satmars. Imagine also how the litvish MEN would have dressed, perhaps in their sharp gray suits and sharp grey hats they wore in ALL the yeshivas of the Lita between the wars. Now think about womens’ wear; the spread of sheitels and modest dress. There was no such thing as sheitels in the Lita or Russia.
    IT IS A HISTORICAL FACT THAT EXTREMEISM RAISES THE LEVEL OF OBSERVANCE OF THE LESS EXTREME. It is so also by the Muslims. Because of the Taliban the less observant became more observant muslims.

    They should be wearing 2 cones on top of their head. It would be symbolic of cow’s horns and zecher l’para aduma.
    You could thank today’s extremist chareidi attitude for this craziness.

    and where are the senior Rabbonim who need to speak out against this naarischkeit.

    too busy with politics in the Knesset and other places. A well placed notice or comment will deal with it.

    and shunning the husbands in the batei midrashim .

    We just stand by and say how “cute” “outlandish” etc. and then when something bad happens, we say “we didn’t know”

    This practice is just an absurd example of chumros being piled onto chumros. This behavior is taking away from normative halachic practice. “V’asu syag latorah” the syag is becoming so high and thick that soon we won’t even see the Torah. If the he Mechaber and the R’mah would come back and see this they would be shaking their heads in disbelief.

    #44 – don’t be so sanctimonious, many of the practices you mention are not accepted by many shomrei torah u’mitzvos. And many of these chumrous just make being a halachic Jew more difficult and probably will not get you a better seat in olam habah.

    this is the inevitable result of pushing woman to the sidelines

    forced to it back of the bus, not pictures of woman at all, removing all ads in Jerusalem that had a woman in it even a diaper commercial that had a baby girl.

    they are just expanding on this, or maybe rebelling and this is their way of protest

    My husband says that it says in gemorah that davka women should not cover up more than halacha says because the more covered up she is the more interest in generates in the men who are now even more eager to see what is underneath – forbidden fruits are sweeter. They are acting against halocho.

    I think they look much better when they’re all covered up. There are many more out there who I wish would put it on.

    woah! These comments are really entertaining, smart and witty! Keep it up! It is good for the soul!

    I am not sure what to think about these women. if it is not a cult and husbands agree or they are at least on the same level of frumkeit, they should be admired.

    Why is this anybody’s business but theirs? Which Gadol said one word against them? The edah charedis is a political party, it is not a person, much less a gadol.

    this is such a funny thread!!! some of the comments have made me laugh out loud so hard!!! laughter is the best therapy!!! so thank you!!!
    in terms of these women- nebach…is all i can say….their poor husbands and children….all over in the last few parshos we learn about the Imahos- how pretty they were- Sara, Rivka, Rochel, Leah….Sara had to be hidden….When yaakov saw Rochel he saw how pretty she was…Rashi says- her face…im sure they were’nt wearing cones on their head…bec, if they were…why would they hav to be hidden lest the kings and towns folk would want to take them?….just saying….
