“Dancingmom” is bringing valid true proofs from Gedolim to the statements that were presented. Why can’t we wake up to these true facts? If we start being lomdish and continue bringing proofs from the Gemara and other poskim to dispute the information we can go on and on and never finish.
HaGaon HaRav Elyashiv zt”l, HaGaon HaRav Smuel Halevi Wosner, HaGaon HaRav Shlome Zalman Auerbach, among other great gedolim all knew the psakim of the Shiltei Giborim and Ramah. They were much more knowledgeable in this topic than all of us put together; and yet they all stated that the sheitels of their times were not was the Shiltei Giborim and Ramah were referring to. (And we all know that since they stated their opinion, the sheitels have become more updated, attractive, and natural looking with all the new modernized features.)
Let us take the blinds off our vision. Who are we trying to fool?
Don’t we ourselves know what nisyonos the sheitels of today are causing?
Every woman and man is responsible for himself and will have to give their own din v’chesbon.
Let us remember that every man who allowed (or even encouraged ) his wife to wear a sheitel which caused sin will have to give his own din v’cheshbon.
