Are Wigs Permitted By Halacha

An announcement posted in synagogues around Israel prior to Shavuos states definitively that wigs are forbidden.

 

There is a long-standing dispute in the ultra-Orthodox community about whether married women may wear wigs instead of other head coverings. Those who support the wearing of wigs claim that while Jewish law demands that the head be covered, the type of covering does not matter. Opponents of this view claim that if the head covering looks like hair, then it is pointless.

There is no question that some of the sheitels out there are in violation of the "spirit" as to what a sheitel is supposed to accomplish. They are also the same women with the tight skirts with the slits.
On the other hand, most modest frum women such as a kollel wife are very tznius in the style of sheitel they wear which only adds to their spiritual beauty.
You have to look at the whole picture.
It is easy to be a nivul birshus hatorah.
P.S. Wigs were banned byy Hyngarian rabbonim over 100 years ago.

Good Topic:

According to Tsanzer Ruv (Author of the "Divere Chaim") a sheitel is user mid'oiryse = min hatorah. It is amazing to see how girls expect to marry a Yeshive boy and one who would learn full time or at least have a "shiur" at the same time they want to dress like shikses, and according to Tsanzer ruv violate a isuer d'oiryse day in and day out by wearing a sheitel. That is one reason for the shidduch crisis in the "hymishe Chasidishe" circles, a boy has to learn in yeshive full time and be "kiloi lashem", but a girl can dress like the goyim and enjoy life in all its forms and still be considered a good old fine frum girl. There is no leveled playing field.

A shtreimel and bekishe are not a chiyev and not a mitsve, try to compare apples to apples.

Chasidishe men wear a very unique dress code which you can spot from a mile away but most of todays Bas Yisruel's are dressed like the goyim, even if its like the modest goyim it is not what "Shem, Lushen, Malbush" means, Hashem chose us among all the nations and Ha expects us to be different and dress different of all the other nations.

I apologize if i offended anyone with this post, there are really serious problems on both sides of the fence, Men's and women's, but since this is the topic of the hour i thought about voicing my opinion.

G-D bless us all.
