That is a beautiful snood! Just lovely.This is the snood I have. It's not completely solid so I wouldn't wear it just anywhere if my purpose was to cover my hair entirely. For me, it's fine. It itches my ears though so I need to come up with something to fix that.
Well then, it's not for you and I respect that.Yes, it does.
I wouldn't cover my hair all the time time. Neither my community nor Rabbi requires it, my husband hates it it and I don't feel the need to do it.
Very pretty. Perhaps a satin ribbon sewn as a border around the front?
I wear a headcovering 99% of the time except when I am at home. There are scriptures to support women covering their head but also I find that keeping my head covered brings me to a place of spiritual intimacy. It reminds me of my place with Yeshua as a bride and it helps me to feel secure. When I don't wear a covering, I feel exposed and naked and it makes me very uncomfortable. I'm probably weird in this and it wouldn't be the first time.
I myself have struggled with the headcovering debate multiple times. I tried it for a while but I dont wear one anymore. I dont find it mandatory. I think if more people would wear it, I certainly wouldnt mind but as I dont see it in Torah I wont worry about it for now.
.
I knit and crochet them, along with "regular" type winter hats, summer style hats, headbands and scarves. Some I design myself. But I don't wear them either, for the same reason - I get overheated and thrown into asthma attacks. But I give them off during Chanukah and birthdays for ladies, and some regular caps for men.
I love the look of the cloche hat, but I don't look good in it and they are usually wool and DH is allergic to wool.
............and DH is allergic to wool.
That's good! You're supporting the economy!scarves.
I spend too much money there!
What a cool collection. There are so many different sizes, styles ...
Would love to see a pic!
I quite like the Bukharian style kippah myself
Also love the one the person on the right is wearing, it's Yemeni style, never seen one for sale though
Though I don't actually own a kippah, I have a range of turbans, yashmaghs & desi hats

Also, many may not be aware of how Paul also discussed in I Corinthians 11..specifically, 1 Corinthians 11:1-3 and 1 Corinthians 11:14-16 / 1 Corinthians 11 . The explicit purpose of the Christian woman's headcovering, as stated by Paul, is that it is a sign of man's authority over woman. ..
My views of 1 Corinthians 11 is a bit different...
Verse 15: "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a [First] covering."
and Verse 14: "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?"
This is all in the context of headcoverings which are an additional covering over that of the natural hair covering. Paul is using an analogy of the natural covering of hair to argue for headcoverings.
So then we need to define long by scripture and what is shameful vs. what is not shameful..
Verse 6 gives us the clue for women... It says "For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered."
Paul is arguing that if women do not add the additional cloth covering then let her be shorn or shaven. Then he said it is shameful for a women to be shorn or shaven.. So what is shaven? it is removal of all the hair right down to the scalp.. But what is Shorn? Shorn is cutting the hair.. See women's hair would never have been cut or it would already be shorn. Anytime a hair cut is given it is shorned or in other words cut.. So from those who words we get a definition of what is long.. It is the uncut terminal ends of hair growth. I did a study once of pictographs, drawings and paintings down through ages of women and before a certain century they all had long hair down to their feet and often plaited or braided and then covered in a cloth headcovering. Remember Mary who annointed Yeshua's feet she then used her hair, which had to be long enough to wash the feet of her Savior.

Thanks for bringing up the thread reminder, as I did enjoy what Brother Mikhael noted when it comes to the subject of long hair....and how a male perspective would be on the subject. I hope he's doing well too, as I do miss him and many of the things he brought to the table of this forum. There are ALOT of people, actually, who brought things to the table and yet they're no longer present.Though I myself don't follow Pauls writings, I thought MikhaelDavid explained Corinthians 11 very well. Speaking of him, I haven't seen him around in ages, hope he is well and doesn't mind me quoting him.
