The Choice That Didn’t Sit Right - Jessica Lazarev's Story

Season 1 · Episode 6

Tuesday, August 18, 2026 • Duration 05:45

Jessica Lazarev always knew that when she got married, she planned to cover her hair with a wig.

As a Ba’al Teshuva, she had made that decision for herself long before meeting her husband. But when they began dating, he shared his own thoughts about how he felt a married woman should cover her hair. While he ultimately left the decision completely up to Jessica, knowing how he felt made her begin to look at her choice differently.

In this episode of Under Wraps with Jessica, Jessica Lazarev shares the journey that followed. Continuing to wear her wigs while wrestling with a feeling that didn't sit right.

But her story also opens up a much bigger conversation about marriage, mitzvot, and what happens when two individual lives become one family. As Jessica beautifully explains, once you're married, it isn't simply “my mitzvah” or “your mitzvah.” The choices we make can affect the family unit as a whole.

Jessica shares her experience with honesty and perspective, reminding us that sometimes our relationship with a mitzvah evolves and that finding the way to make it meaningful and sustainable can be a journey of its own.

From Dreadlocks to Judaism - Naama Alkobi's Story

Season 1 · Episode 3

Before Naama converted to Judaism, she wore dreadlocks for years. They were more than just a hairstyle, they were part of her identity and how she expressed herself.

The Stumbling Block She Didn't See Coming - Shira's Headcovering Story

Season 1 · Episode 1

Tuesday, July 28, 2026 • Duration 08:57

As a teenager, Shira Zaghi had already decided that after she got married, she would cover her hair with a sheitel.

Years later, after she was married, something unexpected began to happen. On more than one occasion, men approached her, unaware that she was married. For Shira and her husband, these experiences became moments of reflection and sparked deeper questions about the purpose of hair covering and the message it conveys.

In this heartfelt conversation, Shira shares how these experiences led her to revisit Torah sources, including the stories of Yosef HaTzaddik and Eshet Potiphar, as well as the account involving Rabbi Yishmael, one of the Asarah Harugei Malchut. Through learning, introspection, and what she describes as Hashem gently guiding her through different moments in her life, Shira gradually came to the realization that covering with a headscarf was the path she was meant to take.

This episode isn't about judgment or debate. It's about one woman's deeply personal journey of listening to Hashem's guidance, following her heart, and embracing the form of head covering that brought her closer to Him.

Whether you cover with a headscarf, a sheitel, another form of hair covering, or are simply interested in hearing sincere stories of faith and growth, we hope Shira's journey inspires meaningful reflection.
