I was researching how much of a married woman’s hair is supposed to be covered to be considered modest, when I came across this text from www.myjewishlearning.com. It seems right that I SHOULD cover it all, so I am, but my question has to do with the part about talking to ANY man. We own a restaurant, are Noahide, and my daughters & I are frequently in direct contact with customers. Are we violating any rules or precepts? Thanks for your response! “The Mishnah in Ketuboth (7:6)... implies that hair covering is not an obligation of biblical origin. It discusses behaviors that are grounds for divorce such as, “appearing in public with loose hair, weaving in the marketplace, and talking to any man” and calls these violations of Dat Yehudit, which means Jewish rule, as opposed to Dat Moshe, Mosaic rule.
