Honestly, I’m still unclear why we should let Russian government anti-Jewish gezeiros from 150 years ago govern us today that we wouldn’t reverse the less then optimal changes we undertook only as a direct result of that unwanted interference in our religious life and in how we practice our minhagim.
I’m not saying everyone needs to stop wearing only sheitels, but I’d like to understand the answer to that question as it pertains to kehilos that come from those areas (which also includes Lita and Poland.)
Regarding Sephardim, when did they stop mostly wearing head coverings other than sheitels? It appears Sephardim mostly wearing sheitels only occurred in the post WWII era. Aren’t minhagim supposed to remain intact?
