If you see Sarah Palin in Shul...by Sybil Adelman Sage

It may get harder to see the bimah in Boro Park if you're seated behind a woman wearing a "Sarah Palin Wig," now being sold by Sheitel.com, a Brooklyn wig shop and Web site for Orthodox Jewish women.

The wig, 100% human hair (no, it's not from a pit-bull), sells for $895, but "for you $795."

Though one of the 10 commandments is, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife," there's no prohibition against coveting a soccer mom's tresses.

The Orthodox women are apparently into pop culture as previous celebrity-inspired sheitls were created to resemble the hair of Jennifer Aniston and Princess Diana. Interestingly, though both of these women lost their husbands to other women, there were no Angelina Jolie or Camilla Parker Bowles (seriously in need of conditioner) wigs.

Again, the Liebermans have been passed over. No Hadassah Lieberman wig?
