Divash Two, I'd avoid tying your scarf in a way that most people associate with Muslimas (female Muslims). It's a really beautiful look, but out of respect for Muslimas and for Islam, you don't want people to think you're just turning their style of coverage into a costume. That means that unless it's cold and you're wearing a wool shawl or pashmina wrap in order to stay warm, you don't want to wear it in such a way as to cover your hair, ears, and neck/throat, like this: http://www.thehijabshop.com/information/how_to_wear.phpYes, I totally agree with you there. It IS a very beautiful look, but very direspectful to the Muslims, since it's kinda like a form of exoticism(sp?).

Divash I do obey the comandment for "kisui rosh." It means head covering, not hair covering, which would be "kisui se'ar," even though in practical terms, it often results in a woman covering all of her hair. I use snoods, scarves, or hats/caps (mostly from http://www.modestworld.com and http://www.tznius.com), and I do cover my hair completely. I didn't cover immediately when I got married; I only started doing it when I had a really bad haircut and wanted to hide it until it grew out. Now that it's been three years, the bad haircut has grown out, but I have found that I don't want to uncover anymore. It used to take me an hour to dry my hair, then another hour with the styling wand and a bunch of mousse or gel before I liked the way it looked, and then it would be frizzy again if I went outside into the humidity. Now I can wash, brush, cover, and be out the door with just ten minutes of post-shower grooming. I used to spend a lot of money on mousse, gel, hair coloring (my hair's been going white since I was about 14), barrettes, clips, combs, ribbons, headbands... Now that I've bought all the snoods I need, I really only have to buy shampoo, conditioner, and the very occasional hot oil treatment. Before covering, I'd spend a lot of time re-brushing and re-fixing my hair once I got to school, work, or social occasions. Now, I just check whenever I go to the bathroom, make sure the hair's all hidden away, and that's it. No extra trips to the room with the mirrors, just for the sake of vanity. I used to feel bad about myself all day when my hair didn't look the way I wanted it to look. Now, I'm confident and pleased with my appearance as long as I'm clean and neat. People used to know me as "the redhead," and call me Red. Their immediate thought was often "I'd like to sleep with her" or "I wouldn't sleep with her." Now they think, "I wonder what she thinks or believes, that makes her wear that." Automatically, I've robbed them of the ability to judge me by my looks, and gently forced them instead to deal with my thoughts and values. It's a subtle but powerful form of feminism. Just so you know, NatureFaerie, it's only for boys and men to cover their heads by the age of three onward, and some Jews don't do that unless they're at prayer (and of course, some not at all). For women, it's only required after marriage (and again, this is followed to varying degrees at different times), but it is permitted for a woman to cover her hair or her head any time she wants. Before marriage, it's fashion. After marriage, it's required to have some kind of covering, but it can be as small and unobtrusive as a thick headband, a tiny cap, or even just braiding the hair so that the sections of hair take turns covering one another! Thank you very much for the information, Divash. I do not know very much about the rules of Judaism, and this helps very much.

It's hard to spot nice young jewish men because they tend to be modest and don't try to stand out too much 3nodding . So you never know... One might be watching you ninja (Which is why we make for excellent stalkers 3nodding ).

YvetteEmilieDupont >.> kingsey's i wouldn't walk alone anymore i think nathan might like attack you or something. hee hee Nathan? Never. He's right though, Jewish boys are pretty modest...and there is a chance there are at least 5 at my school, I just don't know they're Jewish because they don't wear there kippahs. However, it's probably for the same reason I wouldn't wear my scarf so I can't penilize them. Yay for high school. confused
