Channel 12's religion reporter uploaded a photo to his social media accounts in which he appears without the wigs that have become his trademark.

Sharkey (29) studied at religious Zionist institutions and then enlisted in the IDF, upon his release he began working as a religion reporter for the news company (former Channel 2).

The custom of growing wigs originally comes from the Halachic prohibition of shaving the hair on the side of the head with a knife.

The ultra-Orthodox Jews in many denominations used to grow their wigs and curl them along the cheek, this arrangement of the wigs was also used in many cartoons that presented the Jews.

The arrangement of the wigs has different customs, some believers place them above the ear and others hide them under the kippa, most believers are content not to shave the sides of the head with a knife and in fact do not grow hair differently.

Yemeni immigrants are especially known for their long wigs called "signs" and this is because it is the sign that distinguishes them from the non-Jews who lived in their areas.
