"""The book gives voice to the swirling thoughts that have lain hidden beneath synthetic, 50-50, and cloth-covered hair for the past two generations. It speaks to the rabbinate as well as to the public about a topic neither easily broached nor easily resolved. Hide & Seek can be a harbinger of conflict resolution when it is followed by intelligent, compassionate discourse between couples."" --Yocheved Golani, The Jewish Press ""This book is unique in its examination of a religious practice that affects a woman's identity and self-image by changing her appearance. Observing this commandment is challenging, and these essays explaining why women choose to cover or not to cover their hair demonstrate the diversity of our Jewish communities."" --Barbara M. Bibel, Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter ""The essays are remarkably candid and engaging... it's refreshing to encounter a work that charts new territory."" --Sandee Brawarsky, The Jewish Week"

The essays are remarkably candid and engaging.... it's refreshing to encounter a work that charts new territory. --Sandee Brawarsky, The Jewish Week
