ChayaLeah, when you explained about Shekinah only appearing on a bride's face, and then when the veil is lifted it (she?) goes into her hair...that was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Truly wondrous.
I also remember a conversation you had with Yael about it on Ask a Jew, that when you get married your hair becomes part of your sexual/sensual self (I'm probably mangling the explanation, sorry) but that was also so lovely. It took a concept that a lot of people find oppressive and made it make perfect sense. You have a gift for explaining and humanizing Jewish ritual and belief.

Thank you so much! It really helps me connect to the mitzvah of covering my hair, which can be challenging at times.
