'What did medieval Jews wear? 13th and 14th Century Hair and Veil tutorial'

'Medieval women in Europe wore veils according to Christian custom, but what about medieval Jews? Jewish women in the middle ages wore veils over their hair too, and were required to wear ones with a double blue and white border in 13th century Italy. As a Jewish woman who likes medieval dress, this seemed like a great addition to the 14th century medieval hair tutorial and veil demo I\'d been planning! Historically, identifying dress has been a traumatic subject for Jews, but there\'s some fascinating Jewish history behind this simple piece of headwear which makes it a part of Jewish culture in a way most forms of antisemitic dress never were. Marginalized people, including Jews, BIPOC, and queer and trans folk are often erased from our ideas of medieval history. In reality Europe was still diverse in the middle ages-- so by wearing obviously Jewish dress, I\'m hoping to get reenactors and history fans thinking about what\'s missing from the picture of history they\'re used to.
