Question
I saw that the rabbi said it's permissible if the hair is not long and not disheveled, but what exactly is considered "long"? As long as it looks gentle and modest? Elsewhere the rabbi said up to the shoulder line... I heard some permit a little more than the shoulder line, reaching up to the collarbones. Is that okay? And if the overall appearance is modest and gentle, can one be a bit more lenient beyond the shoulder line?
Answer
Hello,
The Beit Din Mishmer HaTorah has determined that the length should be up to the shoulder line.
[There are several ways to calculate this line, and those who find it difficult may rely on a more lenient interpretation. However, one should not be more lenient than this].
