The "minhag" of Chassidishe women shaving their heads is "bad and stupid"

 

The custom of women shaving their hair after marriage was widespread in Galicia and Hungary prior to the Holocaust and is still continued in some communities, mainly from the Toldos Aharon sect and in old Yerushalmi families. Some said that the basis for the custom was a fear of sechita (squeezing liquid) on Shabbos or so that the hair does not represent a chatzizah (barrier) to immersion in the Mikvah.

Many poskim opposed the custom, including Rabbi Yosef Shaul Natansohn in his Shoel U’Meishiv who said that such a custom may be Lo Yilbash [females adopting a male custom which is prohibited by Torah]. The mekubal Rabbi Yehuda Petaya said that the custom contradicts the kabbalistic opinion of the Arizal, who maintained that women should grow their hair and only men should shave their heads.

In a sharp response to a young man querying whether to keep his family’s custom of shaving married women’s hair, Hagaon Rabbi Shlomo Fisher Zts’l, who recently passed away, said that such customs are “bad and stupid”.

Rabbi Fisher wrote that “you can remain calm and need not be upset about revoking this bad and stupid custom [about which we can say Rabbeinu Tam’s anagram that Minhag is the letters of Gehennom] of married women shaving their hair, which is against halacha and defies intelligence as well as causing great distress to women.

“The gemara (Eiruvin 100b) says that women are accustomed to growing their hair long. In the Rambam (Avodah Zarah 12:10) it says that a woman may not shave her head and in Nazir 28b it is written that a husband may say: “I don’t want a shaven headed wife.” The women who shave their hair wear a sheitel when going outside and in the home they are contemptible to their husbands and this is the opposite of the Torah’s imperatives. Rashi writes (Devarim 4:9) that when you perform the Torah’s statutes in the proper way you will be considered wise and perceptive but if you distort them you will be deemed fools.

“The sephardim maintained kabbalistic customs throughout the generations even more than Ashkenazim and were more acquainted with kabbalistic stringencies but they never even considered doing this bad custom of having women shave their heads. If the custom was not maintained one must rejoice in this and not be upset.”

White House Staff Rushes an Easter Bunny to Stop Biden from blabbering to Reporters

 


A staffer dressed in an Easter Bunny costume intervened Monday to stop President Biden from answering a reporter’s question on the White House lawn.

Biden, hosting the first White House Easter Egg Roll of his presidency as the COVID-19 pandemic wanes, began to answer Afghan reporter Nazira Karimi’s inquiry before the bunny showed up and cut him off.

Event attendee Thomas C. Dillon tweeted his footage of the interaction, which wasn’t viewable to most spectators.

“Joe Biden quickly interrupted by the Easter Bunny after he starts to comment on #Afghanistan and #Pakistan at the White House,” Dillion captioned an 11-second clip.

Dillon, a public relations consultant and former adviser to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, shared an extended version of the video with The Post, including Karimi’s brief and hard-to-hear inquiry regarding Afghanistan, Pakistan and Russia.

“Pakistan should not and Afghanistan should be — people should be free,” Biden began his answer, before the bunny rushed to his location.

Biden jerked his head toward the costumed character in apparent shock and took a step away from the censorious beast.

Airports, airlines across US begin to drop mask mandates after court ruling

Travelers were celebrating across the country Monday as airports and airlines dropped their mask requirements after a Florida federal judge voided the Biden Administration’s mask mandate for planes, trains and buses on Monday.

But confusion also accompanied the enthusiasm as some airports, airlines and transportation agencies had yet to announce whether or not they would continue to enforce the mandate — or confirm that masks are still required.

Following the judge’s ruling, United Airlines, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines and American Airlines all relaxed their mask policies for customers, crew and workers.

“Feels good to be flying the moment the mask mandate was lifted. People are literally celebrating at this airport,” Darrin Smith tweeted Monday night.

Julia Haart's husband moves on with a new girlfriend

 

Julia Haart’s estranged husband Silvio Scaglia has already moved on with a new woman.

The La Perla owner, 63, has been dating blonde socialite Michelle-Marie Heinemann, 56, for the past few months, Page Six has learned.

“Silvio Scaglia and Michelle-Marie Heinemann recently began dating and are very much in love,” a spokesperson for Scaglia confirmed to us on Sunday.

“[They] look forward to spending their future together.”

Haart, 51, filed for divorce from Scaglia in February, hours after he fired her as CEO of Elite World Group.

While the two are still duking it out in a vicious divorce battle, that clearly hasn’t stopped Scaglia
