Only in Safed 2

5/19/2014

I didn't think that it was appropriate to take a photo, but....only in Safed.....

We have one (as far as I know) transvestite in Safed. S/he's an elderly woman who was once an American marine and Alaskan fisherman (so I've heard). Several years ago his/her style "changed" to that of a well-dressed maiden.

Now, it appears, that s/he is a well-dressed frum (religiously-observant) maiden because s/he (I don't mean to be flip here....I honestly don't know what pronoun to use) covers s/her hair in the Orthodox tradition.
