JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An ultraorthodox Jewish sage has issued a ritual ban against natural hair wigs from India, saying they may have been made from tresses shorn from women during Hindu ceremonies, Israeli newspapers reported on Friday.

Many Orthodox Jewish women, who adhere to rules of modesty by allowing only their husbands to see their natural hair, responded to the ruling by switching to synthetic wigs or hats, the Yedioth Ahronoth and Haaretz dailies reported.

The edict, issued by the spiritual leader of an ultraorthodox sect, said some hair in wigs sold in Israel may have come from women who took part in Hindu haircutting ceremonies, which was tantamount to idol worship.

These are ultraorthodox Jews! (5% of Jews)

Ultraorthodox Jews make up about 5 percent of the jews worldwide. ....Its like saying ALL Christians are against using Condoms. ( because they think that ALL condoms have holes in in them, so the sperm can pass through anyway.....according to the Pope!)

Lyrics: (CHORUS:)
Here we go again
Here we go go go to the temple of consumption
Get your gear and start to spend
Here we go go go with total dedication
Here we go again
Here we go go go to the temple of consumption
Get your gear and start to spend
Here we go, here we go, here we go
As some sort of prototype I serve to be
You see tomorrow's dream has never been a part of me
Consume today and leave the rest behind you
Tomorrow is a surprise party buy a ticket too
Faster living faster live as fast as you are able
Eat the food while it is still hot on the table
Spend if you can the greens are burning in your pocket
If you spend it right now you'll get as high as a rocket
Everything you don't use will lose its value tomorrow
Consume too much today and you can always borrow
This paradigm is the best one since the day of creation
Get your gear and shape up this is the revelation
Shop till you drop has built civilisation
Don't believe what you hear about the next generation
If you go with a lot of toys you slip away a happy man
The greens are burning in your pocket spend it while you can
(CHORUS)
The moon and the stars they all look down on me and say
There's a correlation between tomorrow and today
I say you won't gain a thing on that sick repudiation
We are right here right now that is the only situation
You can't fool me we live on borrowed time
So I spend the funds I have down to the nickle and dime
Check it in check it out, it is not a matter of contention
Get your gear and shape up and join the church of comsumption
Use it in, wear it out, then throw it all away
Go get yourself a new one all you got to do is pay
Because the more I will get the more I will own
With a lot of things around me I will never feel alone
I work around the clock just to earn my living
And I want to get I won't to spend my funds on giving
Now I'm acting irresponsible is that what you say
Hey Somalia got my toaster just the other day
(REPEAT CHORUS TO END)
