Strands of Truth

Is beauty a sacred gift — or a spiritual test?

Is covering one’s hair a mitzvah — or a custom?

Is the mitzvah unchanging — or adaptable?

The Navi Malachi (3:23) foretold: “Behold, I am sending you Eliyahu HaNavi...”

The seforim teach: In the days before Moshiach, Eliyahu HaNavi’s voice will stir within us — awakening our yearning for truth, identity, and purpose. And indeed, in the world today, filled with uncertainty and turmoil, that inner tug is felt more deeply than ever.

Strands of Truth is a heartfelt and honest guide for every kallah and married woman seeking deeper clarity on kisui rosh — the mitzvah of hair covering — and the spiritual power of beauty within a Torah marriage.

Presented in short, engaging lessons, this book offers:
