A top Israeli rabbi is asking for a ban on the use of wigs originating from India (Israel National News).
His opposition stems from the origin of the hair used in the wigs (from devotees who offer the hair in temples) which is counter to the Torah's teachings.
The New York Times has an article on this with some more details and with a perspective from NYC's Jewish community. This ruling is a farily big deal in the Orthodox community mainly because wigs are crucial in their everyday lives (women use them to adhere to the code of modesty that prohibits a public display of their hair after marriage) and wigs from India are very popular because they use real hair and last longer.
