Residential & Commercial meditation techniques in Reidman College, Shaindel started
to question the halachic aspect of what she was being taught.

Little did Shaindel know that she would meet her soul-
mate in Tzfat as well. Tzvi Deutsch, a Brooklyn boy, was
learning in Ohr Somayach, and while on a Shabbaton with
the yeshiva in Tzfat, he fell in love with the atmosphere and
decided to move there. This was just around the time
Shaindel moved to Tzfat as well. Shaindel first met Tzvi at an
open jam on Chanukah but did not connect in a deeper way.
Several people suggested that they date, but Tzvi wasn’t
ready. It wasn’t until Pesach that Shaindel met Tzvi again at
a barbeque and they started dating.
A few months ago, after celebrating their wedding in Tzfat,
the young couple moved to Yerushalayim to start their wig
business. They chose to live in Nachlaot because they feel the
most comfortable there. They also have lots of friends in the
neighborhood, and Shaindel’s brother lives there, too.
Another benefit of being in Nachlaot is that they are able to
travel easily to places like Har Nof, Bet Shemesh, and Bnei
Brak to offer sales and develop relationships with other wig
businesses interested in selling their brand of wigs.
Tzvi and Shaindel’s business is a franchise of Fortune Wigs
in America, with sales in the MazaliTM line of wigs. Shaindel
says that the wigs are unique in that there is no other line in
