<DIV><SPAN class=753363319-11122008><FONT face=Arial>Forty years ago <I>gedolei
Yisroel zt"l vylct"a</I> 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 <I>chas vesholom</I>, 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 <I>aveiroh</I> leads to
another, and there is no permission to wear such wigs."</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
