To hop off someone else

[debka_notion]

Not a meme, so not lizarded, but well- a thought provoked by navelofwine in her other venue.

She was talking about wearing a tallit, and how it slips off due to the fact that she's female, and hence lacking in large broad shoulders (although I see that happening to a decent number of guys too- I think they should just have snaps that attach to one's clothing). So I was thinking about being particularly traditional and egalitarian. And how to wear tfillin and cover one's hair appropriately after marriage- how the heck does that work? I know I've seen women who cover their hair at egal minyanim on Shabbat, but- what about during the week?

Ever see a Chassidish type wearing t'fillin? Broad brimmed hats of the type you seem to prefer can be tilted back to make room for the t'fillah shel rosh. You might want to place some sort of cloth between the bayit (box) and the brim if they're in direct contact and if the hat is made of abrasive material.

This woman's egalitarian shul has a mechitzah.

Though how they deal with the kol ishah issue, I have no idea.

DH actually wore tefillin with a snood on Purim morning last year. The snood was pretty high up on his forehead, so it wasn't a problem. And no hair was showing :)
