~ Hello and Welcome! ~
This site was created because of a simple dream: connection. There are many things that I hope to share with the world, and so much that we can learn from each other! Here is some of what you'll find by clicking around on the top bar:
Lots of beautiful, liberating, creative ideas on how to wrap headscarves. Deep thoughts to contemplate from Judaism to philosophy to music to relationships. Yummy recipes. Photos of gorgeous places. And my inspiring life story :)
Please continue to share your amazing opinions, comments, ideas, and experiences. Let's make this a place where we can meet, connect, grow, explore, and build some bridges together! Kol tuv!
I have a question for you….I am not Jewish and do not have a religious or philosophical reason to wear a head scarf, but I find them beautiful and love to wear them. Do you think those who wear them for religious would find it offensive for someone like me to wear them? Please be honest…I don’t want to make light of anyone’s beliefs or practices, but like I said, I love the beauty and modesty they create.
Beth, (and I think I speak for all the religious hair coverers out there) I would never be offended by others covering their hair as well! Quite the contrary, actually – I love it! Lots of people do it for different reasons, whether they have alocopea, or are losing hair from chemo, or are just doing it for fashion! Please continue doing it, and do it with tons of joy!
Dear Andrea,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience with us. I enjoy reading your blog. I feel close to you because my story is somewhat similar to yours. I grew up rather secular, I didn’t know much about Judaism besides the high holidays. I was lucky to meet a Jewish man who is now my husband. He is secular. His father passed away on our wedding day and this has deeply changed my way to see life and religion. I slowly tried to take on more mitsvot (kashrut, tzniut) but my husband is allergic to “too much” religion. I want to keep Shabbat but this is a big NO for him. I want to cover my hair, but he says that he would rather divorce me. He is deeply scared of “fanaticism”, as is all his family. I am sad of this, I feel guilty every Shabbat, and I feel ill-at-ease not to cover my hair in public. I am always tying my hair in a discreet bun and wear usually headbands, and I wear a winter hat most of the time outside, except in summer. What can I do? I would be very grateful to read some of your insights. Thank you.
