Covered in Blessing
"Beginning from his early leadership, the Rebbe strongly advocated for married Jewish women to cover their hair, particularly with a sheitel, resulting in the norm it has become today. Translated and printed here are dozens of the Rebbe's letters and talks on the subject, offering insight, encouragement and clarity for today's reader."
