  • someone should tell oprah

    i viewed both videos and i don’t like lisa ling’s voice. she narrates it as if things are drudgery. at the end of the first video, when she is narrating about what will happen after the wedding, she talks as if it’s going to be impending doom. she’s not warm or positive at all!

  • Well done.

    Anat, you spoke beautifully. Positive, upbeat, respectful, and G-d-fearing. A big kiddush Hashem.

  • Shekoyach!

    I thought it was well done and Anat the shaitel macher spoke beautifully for us!

    I think sheitels are immodest.It’s like saying “look at me-aren’t I gorgeous”? Wouldn’t teichels or hats be more modest?

    It’s not a matter of opinion, rather a matter of Halacha. Halacha is that women must cover their hair–they should certainly look and feel beautiful while doing this Mitzva!

  • Just a big business

    I agree with anonymous. The women that I see wearing the fancy wigs seem so full of themselves,spending lots of time in front of the mirror,patting their sheitels,etc. Not to mention all the articles published about the cost to buy and maintain them.

    is it a contradiction to say girls prefer wigs as close to their hair as possible-they feel as if it is their own hair and then to say that they like to try a new look??

  • Anat is one of the best

    Anat does make us feel and look beautiful,
    Love to be ur long time customer, Ziva.

    anat where does wigs come into the picture? your talking about wigs?? first you should be teaching about covering your feet with tights and skirts that come to the knee and not above the knee and you can start of by teaching your own daughter…… and btw go pick up your husband from the bar i think he fall asleep on some girl AND LET THIS BE YOUR WAKE UP CALL FOR YOU AND THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU (CROWN HEIGHTS PEOPLE)
