NOT FINISHED (why married Jewish women cover their hair and why I love it!)

- As always, check out andreagrinberg.com for tons of scarf wrapping ideas and lots more!
FYI - I've removed the previous video from everywhere except youtube because I want to improve it. It's staying up here so people can still access it and give me some pointers. Here's what I think needs work:
- I need to figure out who I am speaking to. The video seemed to be directed those who wonder about why Jewish married women cover their hair, AND those who have been covering their hair for a while. Both messages are important, but need to be addressed separately.
- It needs to be thought out and completed in more than a couple of hours. It is such an important subject and I just have so much more that I want to convey.
- I need to get more comfortable speaking to a camera. I have no idea how to do this. Any pointers? Those that know me well could probably see the tension in my face and that I wasn't able to connect. Maybe I should stick to writing for now... If you have any suggestions please let me know!
- I have realized that there needs to be a balance between getting information out quickly (because it needs to be heard!) and conveying it effectively. I think I felt too much urgency in getting this one out.
So I am going to leave it up on youtube for anyone that wants to check it out, but please keep in mind that it's just a fraction of what I want to do. I'm going to take it off the site, etc. until I can give the subject what it deserves.
Shabbat Shalom!
Love, Andrea
I am a Christian woman who has been guided by the Lord to cover my hair. I am alone in doing this. Father God took me to the scriptures that speak about women covering their hair when they pray. I didn't seek out this, Father God brought me to the pages of scripture that spoke of His will. As I'm growing in the Lord, I'm discovering how beautiful and wonderful this practice of obedience is, and how I personally feel special by this crown that my heavenly Father crowned me with.Thank you for sharing this video. It means a great deal to hear from women like you. It can become very lonely and discouraging at times being a Christian woman who practices head covering alone. That's why I personally need to hear your testimony for spiritual strength and encouragement. Thank you and may God bless you.
My story is about same as yours✝️🌈
You are definitely not alone! I thought I was too, until I got on the YT hijab, and scarf wrapping channels, to refine my technique!
I'm older in my 60s, and my hair has become a disaster! I have just enough now to do a small bun with a satin volumizer. "Scarfing up" has been my salvation, and I look 100% better!
🙄
I am a Muslim women who also covers her hair and dresses modestly as a sign of submission to our Creator and faith in my religion. I can relate to your message, especially in feeling like a Queen and I thank you for sharing this perspective. :) "Covering" is indeed liberating.
absolutely no offense intended what-so-ever.
It seems rather odd to me that a woman could put the concept of modesty together with feeling like a queen, because to me that is opposite in concept. If women are happy covering their heads in submission and modesty then I support you. One thing that stood out to me about what Andrea said that I LOVED was how do we like being defined. For me it is being called my daughter's mother, and one who tries to do good toward others I meet and being called religious as well. That is something we all can share.
No offense taken, the concept of modesty and of feeling like a Queen are not as opposite if you get the concept. Modesty is humbleness and the opposite of conceited. Queens (at least my perception) are powerful yet patient, beautiful yet preserved and confident. I'm using the word "Queen" as is defined when we Muslim women wear hijab. We are the daughters of Islam and of our families. It is impossible to explain if you haven't experienced this for yourself :) I only started to wear hijab (cover) this year at 35 yrs old. People rush to open doors for you, apologize if they curse in front of you and even greet you wishing you peace from God when they don't even know you, you can't help but feel like a Queen. I am my mothers daughter yes, but I belong to God first.
Women cover their "private" parts, mens are in places that are already discreet. You never know what a man "has" in general because their parts are not on display. Women's parts should also be covered and not treated in direct contrast to men (that is inequality- why must we show and they keep it hidden?). When looking at the general public, men are dressed for the occasion and comfortable while women are advertising and uncomfortable even if not conscience of it (why women have so many body/self esteem issues). We can sometimes tell a females bra and underwear size just because its all out there. Men must also dress modest and follow their etiquette of hijab. No one can argue that hair is beautiful and attractive, this is why we rarely see models/actress/singers with short hair, why every commercial or ad has hair flinging and why the beauty/hair care business is so massive. Covering what is irrelevant (beauty/private parts) forces people to treat and get to know each other for who they are and not what they look like. Just look at society and how seeking the approval of others by mere looks is encouraged. Up until about the last few hundreds of years women of all religions covered their hair as being naked and fully exposed in public was associated with animals. When people think that women should only dress in a way that attracts men (hair and showing curves), when girls believe if they don't submit to secular culture that tells them to show it all while men sit and judge (to determine if your "worthy" of love/attention), that is indeed slavery and the ultimate subservience. Real men, understand a woman who is covered because hes looking for a person and not a doll. The majority of women who covered are married while the ones who show less are predominantly single. We submit only to our creator and not the creation whether they understand it or not.
I remember once when I was traveling in indonesia. I saw a woman dressed head to toe in this green hijab while her husband stood there next to her in shorts and a t-shirt. No other society or religion express such disparity through dress.
rockmyballsplease This is your prospective. I see men here in the US dressed the same way and their wives/ sisters/ daughters dressed like their being prostituted to the public. No other society expresses such disrespect through dress and culture. A woman by Islamic standard (not a culture based on the religion) can not be forced to wear hijab, not to mention there are many Christian women who choose to wear hijab. You can not come an educated conclusion on a religion by watching those following it, you must study the actual source (the Quran). Just like one can't judge the Catholic church based on what some Irish Priest and paint all Catholic as pediphiles, or one would be ignorant to look at some racist pastor in the south and believe Christianity is based on slavery. Men and women are equal in value but we are not identical. Flowers are no better then trees and plants, they are equal with different purposes and value. Men do not set the standard for women, women set the standard for themselves based on our own understanding of being female. Muslim women fight and defend the right to wear hijab despite what you may see in the media or from the outside looking in. Islam is more then a religion it is a way of life practiced all around the world it is not an Asian or Arab culture. There are Muslim Indonesians who do not wear hijab. Turkey is a Muslim country, so are many in Europe. Islam is the only religion that confronts society when its morale goes against what we believe. Slavery was legal, Jim Crow was a law society isn't always so great with setting standards or respecting humans. Islam may not be for you, (we live and practice as Jesus pbuh and his blessed mother - who wore hijab btw) but at least study the source, the Quran, before forming an opinion. Anything less would be uneducated and a prejudice.
Concerning references to this in the Torah, I always thought it was significant that when Rivkah/Revkah/Rebekah saw her husband for the first time, the first thing she did was cover or veil herself.
Yes
This is true but not where the mitzvah comes from.
You are a beautiful woman with a lovely disposition, smile, and soul.
I think that Jewish women who cover up their hair, especially with a tichel, are the most beautiful women in the world. Modesty and fidelity never go out of style.
It's better to dress with modesty and not dressing dishonesty
@@tonialenza1226 Beautifully said.
wow...very nice!
i am muslim and i feel that you have powerfully and beautifully explained why The Creator wishes for ladies to cover their hair.
For sixty years, I was a fundamental Christian where keeping the 17 commandments were drudgery and difficult, but keeping the mitzvot (commandments) is viewed as connecting with HaShem and a spiritual gift we receive in return. So, this narrator describing covering her hair as a wonderful experience makes good sense to Jews and I love her claim to being "a proud Jewish woman." Mazel Tov!
I stumbled upon the website and then your vids on how to cover my head. I am not Jewish so curiosity took me to this video. It is well-spoken, sincere, and sweet. I honor your joy in your beliefs and the idea that you save a part of yourself for your partner. So, thank you and much love and respect.
karrasue have a look here on ytLinda Hell heaven Testimonyvery powerful!
Having read some of the comments on here I am completely astounded at some of the negative comments not only about this proud Jewish woman but other religions as well. If you don't have the same beliefs as these people then fine that is your choice but don't slag off people who are not only comfortable but also happy in their chosen faith........grow up people.
Growth means accepting truth...even when politically incorrect or not cool to share. Not sure what you were referring to...but just saying honestly.
This is a site about supporting women in their choice to cover, not a religion bashing site. If you don't want to cover your hair or have something against this woman's or another's religion, then don't bother watching the videos. Many women are inspired and supported by it.
I don't think it's bigoted to point out the fact that its hard to see head coverings as a liberating "choice" when many Muslim countries sentence women to prison, gang rape, and/or death if they refuse to wear it. Until ALL Muslim women are free to take off their hijabs in public without fearing assault; that garment is nothing more than a symbol of sexist oppression
Many Muslim majority countries do not imprison women for not covering. Only Saudi and Iran have any legal head covering statutes. Many women are forced to have sex violently and against their will. We don't outlaw sex until all women are free to consent. We don't refuse to wear pants because some women are forced to cover their lower body. If you actually ask those women, they would tell you they have bigger fish to fry than head coverings. Women all over the world are denied reproductive health services, education, sexual assault protection, and other equal rights. And there is no correlation to head covering. There are almost 2 billion Muslims. That means about 1 billion Muslim women. I dare say less than half even wear a head covering every time they leave the house. There are also many people who are religious and not religious who do wear head coverings all the time or at some occasions. I also have many male friends who cover their heads for religious and cultural reasons. The Muslim women I know don't want people's help to uncover their hair. They see it as a backhanded way to infantilize and control them. And they don't want to be told what it means to them.
im a christian,im African (Nigeria) and i can relate to this....thank u
This is what I love about the Abrahamic religions. They all tell women to cover up. When they cover, it forces people to see them for who they are on the inside. I am a Muslim and I love my hijab and niqab because it liberates me. This woman's devotion to her faith is amazing. She is a beautiful woman both on the inside and out.
I loved y our response
your response not roy stuart it's time amerian women got back to modesty and honor also if it's even posible anymore they don't have a clue that to submit to their husband is to come under his protection not his beating her.
huh?
Al salaamu alieakum,.that is a beautiful comment. Im a christian and I find something so spiritual about head covering and I dont know why to be honest.
I do love the muslim hijab best of all.
When I see a covered woman it says to mexholy, sert apart.
Having said that, men also are to be holy and set apart.
If ever the world needs people to submit and surrended to God so we can love each other as this pleases god surely it is now.
Alhamdililah
Idk... I feel like it's easier to just wear your hair in a pony tail or something. I mean, you can be modest without styling your hair, just as certainly as you can be immodest without having a single hair on your head. Being modest is more about behavior and mannerism. In the US, so many Muslim women wear hijab because they want to draw attention, they want to stick out. I know because I have know girls who have told me as much. They said it makes them feel special and apart from others, in a good way. Although they do receive negative attention for it too. But here is my point, if I wanted to fly below the radar in an Islamic country I would cover my hair. If I wanted to fit in and not bring negative attention to myself in a country that will judge and stereotype me for not covering my hair (and potentially use that as an excuse to treat me like a prostitute or sexually assault me), then I would wear hijab. If I lived in a place where no one would degrade me for not covering my hair, I probably wouldn't cover my hair, unless I'm cleaning my house or working in a field and need protection from sun.
I don't see a practical reason for covering hair unless:
1. Working in a field
2. Housework
3. Preventing yourself from being raped in a country that looks at uncovered women as whores, instead of in a tolerant, religious freedom sort of way.
When I lived in Saudi Arabia I was afraid to go to a subway sandwich shop without an escort, just because guys have NO respect for women and will pounce on them if there isn't another man there. I personally don't see how this social climate is liberating. If anything it makes women uber dependent on men for protection. If you are attacked the burden of proof is on you as the woman to prove it was rape and not solicitation.... Kind of ridiculous... Don't even get me started on countries like Pakistan. A woman doesn't even have legal rights as a citizen in that country. They have to be represented in court by a male.
I am of Jewish heritage but grew up in a reformed household in a community alongside Satmar and Lebovitch Hasidim. Even though I grew up alongside these communities, we always looked upon the ways of Hasidim as mysterious and secretive. Thank you for the articulate insight into your customs and beliefs. It tells me that we are not so far apart from each other after all.
I practice Islam and your video really touched my heart, very informative.
I am not a Jewish woman, but your passion for your beliefs and your marriage are so touching! Thank you so much for the beautiful explanation of this practice. I honestly happened upon your chanel because I have thinning hair due to a medical condition and I am interested in ways to still be lovely and feminine and I understood after just a couple of videos that this was something much more personal than just a scarf over your hair. You are such a lovely lady!
As a Christian, I wish more and more Christian women would be this modest too. Shalom Aleichem to all my Jewish brothers and sisters.
I'm not a jewish woman in case it wasnt already obvious, lol but I am a black woman and a product of 3 Yoruba centered cultures and a spiritual praactice where head coverings are sometimes necissary...so i wear head wrap often. I said all of this to say that I completely understand the feeling of wearing a crown, and representing ones culture with pride in this manner, especially on days where they are a bit more elaborate. I love learning about other cultures and faiths. with that said, thanks for the
upload :)
@Autumn Asters u are a Jew Queen you are from the tribe of Judah
Cover the hair or not ,doesn't matter what matters is where the heart resides .
I am writing on my husband's account ! This was so helpful, and I love the way you explain why you wear a headscarf. I have felt for some time that I want to cover my hair and you have explained it in such a beautiful way . Thanks so much, toda rabah!
Beautiful lady and I respect and admires your religion believes. Would love to see the world with respectful women like you
I can understand your comment “I don’t want my hair to distract attention from what I want to be known for”. Commendable.
Saturn Girl it’s not just hair it’s the whole body, it’s the idea of modesty, women are beautiful, for evolution purposes we do attract men
I am Christian and recently started covering my hair and I feel I am now showing respect and submission to God and His power and respect to my husband and I feel so strong and beautiful and safe now that only my husband sees my hair . I love your videos. Blessings
Very good, this is exactly what Muslims say about the Hijab! I'm surprised why its is acceptable and 'appreciated' for a Jewish woman to be covered, and it is denied to the muslim woman and everyone criticising her? isn't weird?
I agree! Honestly we get criticized in the same way (and I hear Muslim women praised quite often as well!) so there is always going to be hate and we should do our best to spread love and awareness.
***** Absolutely wrong. Let me please clarify the following points to you:
1. Face covering is NOT mandatory (or order) in Islam. It is a personal activity and not stated anywhere in Qur'an
2. Qur'an NEVER said that Muslim women should be covered to avoid being raped by Muslim males. Qur'an said that cover yourself to avoid being 'hurt'. Qur'an didn't say whether the hurt comes from Muslims or non-muslims.
3. With no doubt, IT IS A CRIME to rape someone regardless the religion of the victim. It is ridiculous and a sign of complete ignorance if someone believes that a religion (regardless this religion) allows raping its non-followers!
Please have your information from authentic sources and not from the enemies of the great Islam.
I never came across such thing in the Qur'an, my friend. Can you explain more what are you referring to.
But I couldn't find any reference to the Qur'an, Mike! This video can be anywhere near your home and by anyone, isn't!
And you have a spark of the infinite within you, therefore you are infinitely important, valuable, and royalty as well. (This goes for non Jewish people too.)
I've been covering my head for over 30 plus years and I love keeping it covered. I LOVE the way yours is covered. Very unique, very beautiful. Love it. I wish more women covered their heads, I think women look more beautiful with their heads covered than uncovered, just my own personal opinion. Thank you.
I enjoyed her video. It was very informative and I also discovered how to design a new way of wrapping long scarves for head coverings. Thank you.
I think it's beautiful that I live in such a world full of so many religions and cultures with different traditions. I love the diversity of this planet, which is full of strong Jewish women, Muslim women, Christian women, Buddhist women, athiest women, and other women of other religions and cultures. It is beautiful how we can coexist and appreciate each other for who we are.
Update, I just began my journey in converting to Judaism!
You're a real daughter of Zion. May Yah keep and bless in His Holy Name, Amin!!!
I'm Christian and I wear a long veiled tichel variation. I'm attached too!
Too many bad hair days motivated me.
Its warm, breathable, modest, feminine.
What's not to like?
Oh I totally get you! I have a lovely scarf collection!
Greetings from your fellow brother from Mecca :) God bless you sister and I wish you a happy married life. Please ignore all the negative comments. Of course you do whatever you want and makes you happy.
Shalom :)
What a great story. Amazing how this is so in line with Muslim values. Great video!
Some here have been rude.... One thing for sure, this sweet woman is so so so pretty and looks so much blessed.... If you are reading I want to say this to you, sister : You are so much blessed... You are loved by Angels... She has so beautiful eyes, her choice of words and her innocence... Love your ways.. Take Care :)
You are just too adorable and I love the strength you have in your faith and in your love for your husband! That is admirable no matter what your faith is or how you style your scarves. Keep up the good work and enjoy what you do for others both within and outside of your faith!!
A beautiful video - thank you for your thoughts. I am not Jewish but I love my Jewish friends and at the wig boutique where they make virgin human hair wigs, all wear wigs to cover their hair. I find their warmth, inner peace and joy at seeing me welcoming and part of their boutique family. I wear wigs and scarves for the love of changing my style and accessories.
No one should look down on anyone. Period :)
Jewish woman are the BEST, thanks for sharing, your remarks and commentary which is so nice, so sincere and such a blessing!
I love to see happy women, exploring the meaning of their traditions, and being good role models for girls of how creativity and structure intertwine to create healthy lives. Having a daily practice reminding one of protecting ones marriage is a very good idea, and it is good to have a sign of the transition from unmarried to married state. Thanks for sharing Andrea Grinberg.
Thank you for sharing this Andrea. I am a native american indian woman and I never understood why woman would wrap their hair. After you explained it I feel I can truly appreciate it even though it isn't my culture. I also appreciate what you said about being closer to the Creator. :)
I'm a christian and I really respect what you do! But for me, my hair is my top priority! I love my hair! And again, I won't judge you bc that's not that christians do! They don't judge! So keep doing what you're doing!!
Xoxo,

Read the old testament. It says "shave the woman bald if she walks in public with her hair uncovered"...Jesus, by his rule and Gods law, would have ordered your arrest and shaved you bald and stoned you to death. Because your hair infect men to be sinfull....nowadays modern society will find such a ruling absurd and extremely exagerated. But Gos Word is unchangeble. Read the Bible well.

@@bezwaarikteken6637 Hmm ... Have you read Luke chapter 7, starting at verse 36 where a woman washed Jesus' feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. Have a look at Jesus' response.
I have never really thought of it this way, wow. I think women are so full of vanity when it comes to their hair, which is really wrong, because they compare their self to each other. It's really beautiful on you' :)
Andrea, this video brought myself and my husband to tears. beautifully done. I have been covering my hair for about 1 1/2 months now. your videos have been so helpful and encouraging. When I first covered my hair, I came home and told my husband I could nor do it. People give such ugly looks and gestures. I feel this is a conviction from Yahweh to cover my hair. A lot of women put such a high prize on their hair in public view. my hair is long and I 'm so please the father has given me beautiful hair, and it is a blessing. thank you and all the other girls for your commitment to do these video's. I do feel beautiful with my crown on. no matter what anyone else my think or say. Do you have a video on the wrap your wearing on this video. It is so beautiful. your a beautiful person inside and out. keep up that wonder spirit and smile. Shalom, Brenda Sanders
I love it and understand completely how liberating wearing a scarf can be and how the beauty of your hair is only for your husband.
Hi, we are from Australia and my wife was brought to emotional tears listening to your convictions about modesty and honoring your husband. My wife resonates with your video, and even though she accepts Yahshua as her Messiah, and she differs on that with you, yet the modesty, respecting our husbands and your message about covering your hair we agree on. Shalom. Ps My wife says you are beautiful :)
Why don't you let her talk instead of proselytizing on a Jewish video?
Omar Yussuf Muse who said it was oppression here?
It is not really modesty, it is dignity. A woman should have dignity.
Binyamin Tsadik
Do you believe Mohammad, when he was well over the age of 50 years, marrying Aisha when she was only 6 years of age is a beautiful event?
Binyamin Tsadik Very Interesting. Your name means "righteous one" yet here you are so sensitive and defiant against THE actual RIGHTEOUS ONE.
1 John 2:1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--Yeshua Hamaschiach, the RIGHTEOUS ONE.
Let me guess, your Rabbi told you Yeshua is not him, right?
Kev H Deuteronomy 13 told me.
We believe in the unity of God. We say two times a day the Shema which expresses his unity. A trinity is idolatry.
You are definitely a wonderful person not only in your outlooks but what is in your heart and soul. And to all below comments you never got the meaning of this lady's message. She only speaks what is relevant to her and some of your comments are awful. Respect and honoring what an individual wants and how they want to live their lives with no repercussion, or forcing her beliefs and being cruel to others. This is what being an honorable person and individual is. Accepting other's people point of view and way of life.
+Annie D'Heere exactly. These comments are horrid.
Im a christian but also African descent so head covering also runs in my culture. I love to cover my hair...for some reason its like a different part of me comes out. Feminine elegance. And i feel beautiful. But another side of that is that in many African cultures and societies the way one kept her hair was dependant on her status. Hair is a woman's glory. But sometimes i find it nice to cover.
One time when i was in college, i came face to face with a peer in the ladies' (who was white) and she wasnt wearing anything on her head as is the norm in western culture. She gave me a look like i was the most foreign thing ever. It made me feel so bad. But who cares. This is cultural pride and a practise many women share the pride in partaking in.
Wear your crown, queens!
Thank YOU for the thoughtful inquiry. It takes a lot of bravery to be able to ask these questions and I appreciate it!
I prefer this head covering as opposed to the Muslim veil.
Hey that's stupid what you said about hijab
If the purpose of covering the hair is modesty, then why is the wig - of any sort - of any degree of "sexiness" - permissible? A "loophole"?
From what I understand, and I am in no way an expert on this, wearing a wig as a posed to a scarf came about because Jewish women would be living someplace where they were at risk of being attacked physically and verbally just for being Jewish. A wig still afforded them the modesty and keeping with tradition, but still blend in with the crowd enough for their own safety.
I thank you for your video. I am not of the Jewish faith, my grandfathers were. I have always been drawn to learn more about it. It is nice to learn from a woman rather than the many video's made by men.
I agree with everything you said in this video. Nothing against this at all! I love how you like to be creative, and still show your pride in covering your hair. I have a friend who will be married soon and she might have to go down this path. I may never hug her again, because I want to show my utmost respect for her and her husband. This is a beautiful video!
Do you feel like a like a Queen? !!!!! You are a Queen !!!!!
Shavat shalom...
You look so lovely but i hope jewish men also would do the same or similar. Women and men are beautyful and should keep it only to their parners.
As a Muslim woman who wears a headscarf, I can relate to your pride about being modest and covered. Being this devoted and not shy about representing yourself is commendable. For me, it is really empowering to know that even unmarried women guard their beauty because it is obedience to God. Thank you for sharing this video!

I'm a Muslim, unmarried, I don't cover my hair yet. But I really want cover once I get married, because my mum once told me when asked her years ago if I can cover my head that time. My mum told me that time, covering head is the simble of devotion towards almighty creator, better do after getting married when I'll have wonderful soul connection with my husband and can focus more on religious practices. Thank you sister for your wonderful words! 💖
I personally make sure my hair is in good condition and that I have it cut nicely. Some women are less diligent about such things, but yes, you are completely allowed to cut it!
Amazed she has almost same views like a muslim woman. Its all about connection with God that changes the perception of looking at things different way and less worldly way. May Allah bless you and guide you. Ameen

I am not Jewish, I am Christian, but I absolutely agree with covering your hair and saving that part of yourself for your husband. I am currently learning how to cover my hair, which was cut very short and is now growing out. It is a work in progress with short hair, but it feels right. That's what I can say about it, it feels right. For my husband, for my faith, and for myself. I love your videos and your personality. HE made a special gift for you and I am so very glad you share with everyone! Thank you for your help and guidance! Blessings to you ~
Superstition.
andrea you are a truly amazing jewish woman and a source of inspiration for so many others
You are a LOVELY lady who is BLESSED to enjoy your identity as a married Jewish woman. God bless you, sister and Shalom!
Oh, look everyone is praising this lovely lady which I agree but I highly would doubt if they would have similar reaction if she was a Muslim.
OwlsEyelash, because when someone acts based upon emet, good people are drawn to this light. Islam, on the other hand, is not founded upon emet.
I agree. Thank you.

I personally don't agree with the covering hair thing for personal reasons. If someone is happy with covering their hair, fine that's their choice. Even though I don't agree with it, I'm fine with people as long as they don't force/shove their beliefs on me.
You cant force a belief...folks have free will. You can & should share *any* good thing, like with anything else.
True..
I read the description about your video, and I know that you said that you felt like you weren’t connecting through the video or being videoed, but I want you to know that you did an amazing job. I am first generation American on my mother side. My people come from Germany and are Jewish end of Jewish Hebrew lineage. While I am not a practicing Jew us, I have a fascination a deep respect and love for that part of my family story. Lately I have been extremely drawn to learning more about the culture, the teachings, and every day we have life for the women who choose to live a devout life. Thank you for expressing such love and tenderness about something so personal and so sacred to you and your husband. I think you have done a beautiful job in explaining your reasons behind what you do. It only makes me want to learn more. In the world that we live in the times that we live in, modesty has become almost a four letter word. In the religion that I practiced modesty is held to a very high standard, that is definitely not understood by those that don’t believe as I do, so I very much understand your feelings on modesty. As an popular as it is to say I think it’s very empowering as a woman to be modest and to protect that which is sacred special and to know that it is for my husband and have gift I give to him. I am now a new subscriber and I very much look forward to watching your other videos and learning more. Thank you so much for sharing your truly beautiful!
Thank you for this grater understanding of my own culture. As a Jewish man separated from my culture and raised by totally western methods I struggle to find any Gold nuggets to demonstrate and explain the culture of my Ancestors.

I support your decision 100% to express your religion as you see fit, and I support whatever you choose to do to help yourself fee beautiful and confident. However, I disagree that showing hair is immodest. The way a woman is treated is not determined by how she dresses. If she carries herself with dignity and integrity, then she will be treated in kind. A woman's modestly is determined by her attitude, not by traditional or cultural habits of dress. Just because a woman wears a scarf or a hijab does not automatically make her modest. Nobody has the right to judge a woman's modesty except her Creator.
Of course! I (this is Andrea) 100% agree with you! I'm sorry if this video gave you any other impression
Can you put a gold or diamond, for example, in a wooden box, Ann? Don't you have to protect your jewelry from the unlawful and unsafe eyes? So that the hijab.
Yes, modesty cannot be judged - only - by covering the hair but, however, dressing style is the first key to know the character of that person. When we make job interviews, dressing style of the candidate is a very important indicator about how person cares and accurate.
Sherin Othman i agree with Anna too; I think one can have faith, but you should still be able to talk logic and history. I don't think of hair as a jewellery because hair is part of human body naturally. Even though i understand what you are trying to express but no culture was created without practical reasons at the first place. And unfortunately many customs root in women being restricted in some ways in order to satisfy the need of a male-dominant society.
I love her hair wrap. It's beautiful. I don't have to cover my hair, but I'd like to try it. I actually think it would be kind of liberating. Hair is such a hassle.
As a muslim it really bothers me that i have to represent my people all the time because right now being muslim is automatically associated with a list of horrible connotations, its interesting to see that the exact point i want to take my head covering for, you want to put yours on, very enlightening. Thank you for the awesome vid :)

I enjoyed watching your video and learning why married Jewish women cover their hair! :)
I admire your compliance. then why do the world get upset when muslim women do the se practice of religion????
Idiots get irate at both.
+Micky Mus burqa is culture and hijab is Islam. They are different but people shouldn't care if I go out in a Mickey Mouse costume . Let me do what I want
Because they are forced to wear it in many Islamic societies
In theory you are right. If it is ok for Jewish women is should be ok for Muslim women. The difference is when a women wears the covering. For religious Torah Jews it is only after they are married for Muslims it is during the beginning of adolescence. I think many people find that coercive since the girl is so young and really doesn't understand the significance behind it. Also, people object to the extent of the coverings. For instance, many westerners find the Chador, burka and niqab dehumanizes a women because it covers too much. That is just my 2 cents.
Nationalism is Love I didn't know that. All I know is that in certain parts of the world it is required. I thought it was religious and not cultural. I don't know many Zoroastrian, Jewish or Christian Persians that wear a Burka.
Yeah, I don't agree with anything you said here, but I can understand that this is your preference and how you feel. My hair is my own. It doesn't belong to anyone but me.
ur comment is valid!..but why were you searching for this answer anyway?:discuss!....Hmmm!
Well! it didnt even show ya her hair!!!!!
Are you Jewish?
An opinion is just that, an opinion. It blows my mind how many who feel like they have to argue on here about what she said.
WOW :)
Thank you Andrea for your clear and thoughtful response. I REALLY like how you explained "regardless of the amazing wealth of knowledge that the Torah gives us, we are human. However, the Torah accounts for this and teaches that a righteous is one that falls and gets up."
That was the simplest & BEST non-defensive religious statement I have ever read. You represent the Jewish faith splendidly. You stated a simple truth, which I cannot dispute and I thank you for that :)
This is such a beautiful response! Thank you for sharing :)
May I share that I also feel so empowered and happy because I cover my head to honor the Lord. My community does not. I stand alone in this , and I appreciate your videos so much. My picture here was taken when I visited Amish friends and they dressed me in their clothes. (Our secret.) Normally, I wear a plain scarf or hat to entirely cover my hair!
Patty Sherwood All of us Abrahamic ladies are told to cover our hair. Best of luck in your journey.

Princess Dyana I am honored by your kind words and thankful for my new computer for making our exchange possible. I just realized I use this picture because it represents something I don't have-a community that shares my belief in headcovering. Thank you, Andrea and Dyana for sharing your beautiful traditions.
John SOh, sweetheart. I understand your interpretation of 1 Cor. 11:15. I don't want to offend you because you have been so nice about it, but Jesus himself told me to wear a covering other than my hair, and here we are talking about it with beautiful, beloved Jewish and Muslim ladies all around us. Praise God. There is more to that scripture than is easily seen when reading English. It says in Greek that long hair has been given "against" a covering one throws around the head. In other words, long hair has been given (by nature) " in comparison to" a covering. Because of the similarity of the appearance of long hair and a covering wrapped around the head, nature teaches us to wear a covering when you hold long hair and a veil against each other and compare them. Long hair is a woman's glory, and it is glorious for her to have it. In this way, nature, through highly esteemed long hair , teaches women that it is honorable and proper to wear a covering around the head, as Paul teaches they should wear a veil, especially when praying or preaching , teaching and prophesying in church. He also says that if a woman does not wear a veil, it is as shameful or embarrassing as if she had gone out with her head shaved. And when Paul says "We have no such custom," he is not referring to the headcovering, but to the following topic of contentions and arguments in the church. I hope this make sense for somebody. Thank you for your comment. I have lots of UPCI friends who have been taught the same misinterpretation, which began to be taught around 100 years ago by well-meaning, Spirit filled, but uneducated people . You have been taught to change the word "covering," which means "veil," to "long hair," but this is not correct. It changes the meaning of the whole message. Because of this mistake, many sincere women end up not covering their head, but only have long hair exposed and uncovered, and they usually are denied the freedom to preach, teach and prophesy even with their imagined long hair covering.
John S You have ideas that influence how you read and understand scriptures. You are hindered in your ability to hear the scriptures speak to you clearly.The idea that Christians don't have to follow Jewish traditions seems to be the reason you watch a video of Godly women covering their head or hair, and you try to persuade us to believe your idea. How nice of you to care. I am sure you mean well. You want us to be "free." But believe me, you are mistaken. Everyone makes mistakes. I have intensive training in the discipline of translating ancient Greek literature, including the NT. I evaluate carefully what a text says, not what I want it to say, not what I believe it should mean. It is a strict discipline of grammar, definitions of words, sentence structure, the progression of ideas. Please try reading the Bible as if for the first time, slowly, prayerfully, out loud. It may prove fruitful to you and free you from falling into blind assumptions. Good luck .
I would love to cover my hair but I'm not marry ... ever since when I was small I loved covering my hair I don't know why . G-d bless you! everyone should know this
do it anyways. more honorable
Yes it is thanks 😄
You should embrace doing whatever makes you feel beautiful and graceful.
Yes i should thanks😊
I'm not married and I started wrapping my hair again. We must live and let live.
I just found you and this channel. Your explanation of why you cover your hair is fascination. Thank you
I think this is fantastic! I showed to my wife, and she like it a lot. We search them on the Internet, and lucky for me, ahe likes the ones that are the most expensive. Bu t it looks awesome, I think this is a great thing.
+Josue Nieves Any scarves work as tichels. I get a lot of mine from the second hand store.
Sister Allah bless u....u look so Abrahamic and religiously beautiful...keep it up.
see what I mean? You've just been blessed. A blessing is a good thing but not all Jews would like that one in particular.
I have to agree with Lucy! I mean is sweet of you to give her a blessing and I have no doubt you do it from your heart, but I don't think she likes a blessing from Allah. I mean is not like you guys are in good terms with Israel..... I mean... Just saying!!!!
angelarodriguez0021 Allah means The God. Arabic Muslims, Jews, and Christians alike all call God Allah.
How hate filled and prejudice of few women who are telling you why you blessed her.
Princess Dyana i m not calling allah to my God,i simply call Him, Father, Lord, Creator,when I am praying.Allah is just An invention by those muhammad and his followers who believe he is chosen by God to establish a new religion called islam,calling all jewish prophets from abraham to jesus as theirs,and placed in their koran,what shit religion.
I believe everyone has a right to their own belief, if judaism enforces a head covering for women when they get married that is fine, but I believe in common sense though, I believe that the only spiritual respect we owe is to god, it makes sense to me that ALL HUMANS not just women should cover their heads ONLY when praying to god and not for a husband or any other person, this is the reason why many middle Eastern women that practice religious dogmas like this lose their beautiful hair in the long run because the law of nature was not meant for our heads and bodys to be covered, honestly we really shouldn´t even be wearing clothes, but because of manmade dogmas we do, and this is why we pay the Price with our health and experience a premature death at the end, people of cultures that live in jungles without clothes live healthier and longer and more civilized lives because they obey the law of nature and not of man, by the way, the law of nature is the law of god, anyway I love the creative styles you make with your head scarfs, they are beautiful, I would definitely consider this for fashion or to pray to god ONLY, but not to use them on a consistant bases, it´s very harmful for the skull because the skull needs to breath, it creates alopecia on women in the long run, and trust me I have seen many middle Eastern muslim women suffer from that because of head coverings, its very sad
Women who cover all the time are not getting Vitamin D which we get from the sun. So Vitamin D supplement is very important.
I'm a man and I'll tell you that there is definitely less temptation by you covering your hair. You are a beautiful married woman and the hair covering just makes the thought of lusting after you just dissolve. It also makes me respect and honor you greatly. I'm Christian but I believe in obeying Torah by the Spirit of God and no I don't believe Yeshua - Jesus is God like so many think. The Greek Bible says Jesus did not think being equal with God was a thing to be grasped. Thanks for bringing.
i appreciate women like you who dress with modesty and cover their hairs. I would be happy if all women do the same.
Im embracing the head covering concept...I havent done it yet...my husband is not of jewish blood .I am of jewish blood. And am learning Torah and the mitvahs and observing the holidays. I love Yahveh and want to be closer and closer to my father. I have some issues to get through...and that is feeling ok with how I look with a head covering. And peoples reactions. I have already begun to acclimate them to my jewish name Abigaile instead of cynthia....some are trying to call me Abigaile while others have issues. I m not a person who likes confrontation. So I struggle with the flesh verses the spirit. Ultimately the spirit will prevail. Any suggestions.how to get over the obstacle I have a fuller face ? And im in my 50, s .
No such thing as Jewish Blood.

Continued: I just wanted to learn to cover my hair if and when I choose to. What I mean by that is I have no reason to actually cover my hair. I just think it can look really nice with some outfits. I also think that it is wonderful that you take pride in not only your religion, but everything else that comes with it. I wish I had as much conviction as you do. Thank you for your awesome post and keep them coming! :o)
I would probably only marry someone who covers their hair. The level of Modesty is extremely high. Skirts only, and head covering..
For muslims this is expected. For you, you have to search to find someone with that high level of modesty.
Perhaps the Jews have veered off from what G-d wanted.
Me too. i would not want a wife that runs around town showing cleavege and wearing short skirts. The hair being covered makes me respect a woman way more. All these whores in the west want respect but its hard to respect a woman that doesn't respect herself by covering up.
+Derrick I agree with you.I am Jewish and my Orthodox friends look so beautiful with their wigs and tichels.
Not at all, but it would be a preference for me.
There is nothing wrong with modesty. I applaud you for wanting a modest woman who follows G-ds law closely.
You're a very pretty person, and I admit your head covering is quite fashionable ^^
But...I could never accept doing something like that, personally. It makes me wonder, "then why would you have hair at all?" If no one will see it you might as well shave it off a that rate. Sorry if I sound rude.. As a sign of modesty, it's fine I guess, but is women's hair really that embarrassing? I just see no point to it and the fact (it seems) that only women do it just seems demeaning. And how people feel blessed and wonderful and makes them feel better, that just sounds to terribly silly to me ^^'
I really don't mean to offend, and I'm just sharing an opinion ^^' For a sort of agnostic/sort of feminist girl like me it's pretty alien.
But really, you are quite pretty.
The point is that my husband sees it, and no one else, therefore making it MORE special!
Andrea-Yonatan Grinberg ...meh, its just hair. But anyway, what about other members of family? children? are they allowed to witness the wonder that is your hair?
***** Woman was made for the glory of the man? Wow, well that is what basically encompasses the role of women in religion. Second-class citizens. At least your honest.
rockmyballsplease in Islam women were NOT created for men, as is stated in the Bible. Women are independent of men when it comes to our relationship with God and we don't believe in being born with sin (how unfair would that be). The fall is not blamed on Eve pbuh, and women are not cursed (no one is). Just wanted to point that out to educate on some differences between the stories/ letters of the Bible and the Quran.
Naomi Seif That's great Naomi but i don't see this in practice. A man can have several wives gives off the impression that the wives are there for the man's pleasure as if the wife only needs one man to equal one husband and the man needs several females to equal one wife and it also sort of condones adultry for one sex. Yes, they are married but its just a loophole. I think you have a much healthier attitude towards religion and feminism than Nancy does but I wonder if your religion truly shares your outlook. One can blame culture but often these loopholes can be found in scripture. Did mohammed have many wives?
I have hair, that has a mind of it's own. I have wavy/frizzy hair that depending how the weather goes, makes it manageable or not. This my first day of finding this channel and I feel really excited that I can wear something that can look attractive, yet will allow my hair to be contained in a modest beautiful way.
Dear Andrea grinberg, I loved all of your videos as someone preparing conversion. As Ive watched all so dear, I am curious about your news how has your life been. I would be so glad to see your new video.
YHWH really put his hand on you when he created - you are pretty
+Trish Lashire I always love my hear cover too . and you looks very beautiful with your hair cover
None of this really makes that much sense, especially to us Asians. Hiding your hair to not attract another man would make sense during an older period of time when women were recognized by their hair and hair alone, but today it goes well beyond that. What happens when you cross a man who does not look at your hair, but is looking and admiring your legs? What happens then, will you stop wearing skirts and start wearing slacks to hide your legs? It seems that this is more of a weakness issue, not to mention a self control issue, no need for a strong marriage to relegate themselves to such primitive practices. It takes two to tango, and if your going to "blame" the lack of head dress in both the Hasidic and Islamic communities for adultery, that is just an excuse for a woman's weakness to just say no, not to mention essentially underlining original sin. Whether Jew or Gentile, a woman loves attention, and men love women, period, and this is what you spend your lives hiding from instead of conquering that very thing, that being lust and vanity.
+Xiao Sheng And just how do you propose to conquer lust and vanity?
In our society, men seek to control their love of women, and women
seek to control their love of attention.
(Also, the skirts Orthodox women wear are long and conceal their legs.
They expose nothing other than the head, hands, and forearms.)
+Hieronymous Pseudonymous And those are parts ISIS now demands women cover! There is a VICE or Vice News decumentary where a young ISIS public relations guy takes the reporter and cameraman on a tour of the Islamic State--the name on the web. They talk about what a woman must cover, and stop a man because his wife lifted her robe to step up on the curb. They scare him to death and say they will punish him if he does not punish her. Their new coverings fow women--in 120 degree heat--cover forehead and head and go down to cover her somewhere between chest and hips. Then, under that, she wears another black robe from shoulders to ankles. Her hands are covered to her knuckles halfway down her fingers. And she wear a more sheer thing under her eyes, over her nose, cheekbones, mouth. So it's feet inside shoes, eyes and fingertips that are allowed to show--I guess they don't turn em on? And they say it must be hyeavy fabric and thick enough so no shapes show, no color, nothing. They never say how she gets to the curb if her robe is long...I guess that's why they travel in the street...they can't climb up on the curb without risking death....seriously, these young guys roam the streets in pickups with all sorts of guns to enforce their own idea of Sharia law. Imagine, during Saddam, that Bush/Cheney villainized, women wore western clothes, could attend the universities same as men, hold jobs, drive cars, and the only assholes roaming the streets were his 2 sons. Now all Iraq and half of Syria is there ready to abuse women. And they hang or crucify anyone they catch practicing any other religion--there were 3 Christians killed and attached to crosses, set up on a street corner to scare people. These fools never read books and don't realize we read all their unoriginal terror ideas in horror novels. It's utterly obscene, like Nazi Germany.
The Asians from Asia Minor, Caucasia, Central Asia, South Asia, South East Asia, Xinkiang Uig her Central Asians, along with Muslim women from other parts of the world, are distinguished by their head covering too as Judaism and Islam share their principles and values.
+Arsala Khan Islam is not a real faith. Based on lies. Child molestation! Taking away women's rights. It's a religion for men!
+Xiao Sheng Jewish women actually do cover the legs...
thank you very much for your comment about labels or judgement...it's been speakin out somethin that i thought to myself for a long time...glad to hear it from someone else! be blessed! louise
So nice to see a woman proudly use a scarf instead of a wig. I completely agree with your reasonings, except the part about your hair colour defining you. I'm an auburn redhead naturally, and find this rare trait something I'm proud of. When I do get married, I think it's so special that this deep part of myself will only be shared with my bashert.
Covering your hair does not show the world that you have an "amazing marriage" as you say, it only shows the world that you cover your hair.
She is speaking from the heart, what is your problem??
