A "tichel" is a headscarf worn by many Jewish women, particularly those who are Orthodox or Hasidic. It serves as a symbol of modesty and is often worn after marriage as a way to cover their hair, which is considered a private part of their appearance. Tichels come in various styles, colors, and fabrics, allowing women to express their individuality while adhering to their religious customs. The practice of wearing a tichel is rooted in Jewish law and tradition, reflecting a woman's commitment to her faith. In addition to tichels, some women may choose other head coverings, such as hats or wigs, depending on personal preference and community standards.
