Tichel

Tichel

The Tichel is a headscarf worn by some married Orthodox Jewish women in compliance with the code of modesty known as Tzeniut. "Tichel" is Yiddish for "kerchief." 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 function of modesty. The muslim hijab is reminiscent this.
