Season 8 Finale: Rabbi Yoni Rosenzweig, Covering Hair, and Being Normal (Season 8 Episode 18)

About this episode

Rabbi Yoni Rosenzweig discusses the topic of head coverings for married women in Orthodoxy, sharing his insights and reactions to his public post on the matter.

Rare is the rabbi willing to make a public statement on the head coverings of Orthodoxy's married women, given how fraught the topic can be. Rav Yoni not only posted about it on Facebook, but he also breathed new life into an old conversation. Shoshanna and Anne talk to him about the post, the reactions, and even get him to give a basic p'sak. Read Rav Yoni's Facebook post here . Music: "Misery" by The Whips
