No, it’s not a joke. Jewish wigs. Wigs for Jews. Jewish women, to be exact.
Actually, religious Jewish women, to be even more precise, whose rabbis hold to the tradition that a woman’s hair should be reserved only for her husband. These are the same women who have to cover their elbows and their knees, who wear no pants, whose blouses cannot reveal the collarbone.
Interestingly, nothing seems to have been said about how tight those blouses or skirts may be! Just take a stroll among the Hasidim and you will see any number of young girls and even matronly women whose knees, elbows, collarbones, and hair are all covered up even as their breasts and buttocks are tightly wrapped in fabric!
