Subject: RE: BS: Monsey's (non) Kosher Chicken Crisis
Dianavan,
          God is allowed to see the woman's uncovered hair because he is not subject to "temptations of the flesh". It is men other than the woman's husband who are not allowed to see it lest they be tempted to commit adultery which is a cardinal sin. A wig, no matter how well designed, can never be as attractive as a woman's natural hair. Judaism is a religion that is all about community and yes, peer pressure is a very important part of that community. It makes it more difficult for the faithful to stray from the fold. That is why it was so important for us to fast AS A COMMUNITY for the unfortunate chicken crisis.
