Talk:Tichel

The last section of the article, the one about the Torah, makes it seem that covering the hair was a practice specifically mandated in scripture. My understanding of the laws of Tzniut was that the Torah commands modesty, but does not actually say what modesty entails, and the rabbis have, throughout history, offered their own interpretations of what is specifically required. If in fact the Torah does command women to cover their hair once they marry, then there needs to be some citing of chapter and verse. Draganta (talk) 05:48, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

In that section, Torah is used to refer to Jewish law as a whole, including the written Torah, the Talmud, and later books and responsa. That section does need cleanup, but mostly to re-render the text into a neutral POV that does not assume the reader is a practicing Orthodox Jew. I might not get around to cleaning it up, so WP:Be Bold! ArthurDenture (talk) 05:16, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Anybody mind

Anybdy mind if I expand this a little, and remove the crazy TM names for tying stuff bit at the end, or at least explain it a bit more? Basejumper 22:11, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Not at all - you never need to ask permission to improve an article :)--DLand^TALK 05:41, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
