I was asked some time ago, if a Jewish married woman covers her hair in the interest of modesty and to indicate she is meant only for her husband, why do many of the the wigs (i.e. sheitelach) worn by some Orthodox women more attractive than their real hair? In other words. doesn't it defeat the purpose? If you post this please do so anonymously. Thank you jg

My sister-in-law was watching a cooking program from Canada when it was said that a Rabbi had to oversee all kitchen food preparation for a wedding. I work in the wine industry and know that a Rabbi must oversee the production of Kosher wine but for a wedding. Some of the preparation could take days. Is this true?
