For devout Jews, a zone of privacy in the sheitel (LA Times)


For devout Jews, a zone of privacy in the sheitel

Bound? That sounds a little frightning. I dont think that most women who cover their hair feel that way about the Mitzvah.
But using that language all Jews are "bound" to the Mitzvah of coverig hair- Some choose to do it and some don't...
