Re: [Cz-L] Iuliu Barasch's Travel Log - Stage 6: What is a Sterntikhl/Sternbindel?

You all concentrate on the etymology ,
 What about the custom ?

 Edgar , Hardy and All,

Thanks to Iuliu Barasch I have discovered the importance of the Sterntikhel
for Jewish women ( and men) in Galicia...

Thanks to Sotheby's I have discovered that Sterntichel has nothing to do
with STARS ( = shtern in Yiddish) , but has everything to do with the
forehead = shtern in Yiddish= Stirn in German = frunte in Romanian =metzakh
in Hebrew.

Thanks to the painters Maurycy Gottlieb and Isidor Kaufmann on the www I
could SEE how those sumptuous head coverings looked like.

Thank you Edgar,

Best,
Irene
