Tichel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tichel is a headscarf worn by some Orthodox Jewish women in compliance with the code of modesty known as Tzeniut. It means a kerchief in Yiddish. Tichels can range from a very simple plain color cotton square with a simple tie in the back to very elaborate fabrics with very complex ties using multiple fabrics. As with any other form of clothing, it serves as fashion as well as its modesty function.
