I’ve Got Some Reading To Do
I finally get why Tyler Mickley is always reading about religion.
It’s fascinating!!!
I watched this film today on Netflix called Arranged. It’s about two young women, an Orthodox Jew and a Muslim, who become friends while their families attempt to arrange marriages for them.
I observed something about most of the Orthodox Jewish women in the film that I’ve seen in real life and that is that the married women tend to wear wigs or scarves on their heads. So I Googled it! Apparently, it’s a show of modesty. Married women cover their hair. They also don’t sleep with or touch their husbands while menstruating, refrain from touching men who are not their husbands and sometimes avoid elevators to circumvent the possibility of secluded situations with others for more than 30 seconds.
Of course, this all came from a quick skim on Wikipedia (where all factual information resides) but I’d gamble on it being pretty accurate. Regardless of this, I’m hooked. Must find book on Judaism.
And no, Tyler, I don’t intend to read the Torah. But other suggestions would be nice.
