One of the few books to consider the very personal; yet also public; matter of married Jewish women covering their hair; Hide and Seek explains the law; considers the customs surrounding the practice; and includes the voices of women from around the world who are moved by the nature of this challenging observance. The book includes legal and sociological perspectives of the practice; citing relevant texts and rabbinic discourse; as well as the history; tradition; and customs of Jewish communities from around the world. Twenty-four personal essays from women on this sensitive issue lend a very personal face to the debate.
