[Avodah] Sheitels

[Rich, Joel]

>From Deiah Vdibbur - does anyone know by whom  and where this
pronouncement was made and what the reaction was ?
 
Forty years ago gedolei Yisroel zt"l vylct"a issued a notice on the
issue of shaitels: "Since as a result of our many sins there has been a
breach of late, leading married women to wear wigs that resemble actual
hair of different types that our forefathers never imagined could look
so much like uncovered hair chas vesholom, we hereby feel obligated to
make known the position of our holy Torah is that this is absolutely
prohibited, for even in regions where it was customary to permit wigs,
such wigs were never even under consideration. One aveiroh leads to
another, and there is no permission to wear such wigs."
