Corona & Glamorous Wigs – Keser D’Kelipah [#14894]

August 24, 2021

QUESTION:

I heard the Rav say that one of the reasons that corona came was because Hashem sent this so that all public places would become closed down and everyone can connect to their inner essence while being alone at home. I have heard also that there were some who said that corona, which is the “Keser d’kelipah”, came because of those who wear glamorous, attractive wigs [sheitels], because the head covering is like a “crown”, the Keser, and this was the wrong kind of head covering, hence it is Keser D’Kelipah, and this was the cause for the coronavirus, the “Keser” on the side of evil. The Rav said that corona is the Keser d’kelipah, so does the Rav also agree that corona came because of these glamorous looking wigs?

ANSWER:

That is emes l’amitah (totally true).
