life and even attended a convent
school although she received no
instruction in Catholicism.
Her plans to attend medical school
were set aside when, as part of her
med school matriculation, she was
required to attend a summer camp for
Nazi youth. The experience was so dis-
turbing that she abandoned her dream
to become a doctor.
Roberg's stepfather enrolled her in a
teacher's college where she studied not
only secular subjects but for the first
time in her life, Judaism as well.
These studies opened her eyes to the
wealth of Jewish tradition, inspiring
her to become observant, a decision
that caused great static in her relation-
ship with her stepfather.
Unable to escape with him and her
mother to Brazil, Ilse and her hus-
band, Alex, continued teaching in
Germany until 1940 when they sailed
for America.
Arriving upon these shores, Roberg
was told, "Take off that shaitel, you're
in America now." She still bristles at
the memory. "I fought hard for this
shaitel. Because this is America I
should remove my shaitel?"
Esther Posner, whose essay appears
in Hide 6- Seek, began observing the
mitzvah very late in her marriage.
Posner recalls that when she first mar-
ried 39 years ago, she and her husband
never discussed hair covering although
they both came from Orthodox fami-
lies.
"It was a cataclysmic issue in my life
that made me decide to cover my hair
after years of not doing so," she says.
The cataclysmic issue was cancer.
When her hair began to fall out due
to her chemo treatments, Posner
bought a wig that closely resembled
her own short, curly hair. And when
her hair began to grow back in, Posner
decided to continue covering -her hair.
"At the time I made the decision it
was a pact [with God]. I will wear this
and You take care of me.
"Today I'm not as aware of it. And if
any health problems surface, I won't
think, look what I do for You!
What's Your end of the bargain?"'
On The Job
"Covering my hair was never a ques-
tion," says Khaya Eisenberg, a young
mother of three who also holds a doc-
torate in psychology. On the other
hand, finding a comfortable way to
observe the mitzvah has presented
unique challenges.
"I have a very long neck and I do
not look good in hats," says Eisenberg,
who wrote one of the essays in Hide
and Seek.
But when she got married, she
found her husband didn't like the idea
of a wig. "He felt it was gross to put
someone else's hair on your head."
She settled on a snood, which neatly
captures all her hair and meets the let-
ter of the law. However, in Eisenberg's
community, wearing a snood in public
is somewhat akin to wearing one's
bathrobe. Thus, on Shabbat and other
formal occasions, she -.,;-rs2r-s a shaitel.
