comment Woman's hair covering in the home or in private
Yes @YDK, the story of Kimchis does not establish Halocho. But IMHO it shows that midas chasidus in this area of tznius is by no means an empty gesture.

comment Precise Zemanim?
My question is related. I asked my Rav about the case. He referred to the impossibility of being precise with sheki'a and quoted a local highly respected Rav who had issued a lenient ruling with respect to a hefsek taharah in the sheki'a time frame.

Midrash Leviticus Rabba 20:11 Simeon ben Kimhith Kohen Godol went out to talk with an Arabian king, and saliva from his mouth spurted on to Simeon's garments and defiled him. His brother Judah served in his stead. On that day their mother saw two sons as High Priests. It was said: Kimhith had seven sons, and all of them were Kohen Godol. The Sages asked her ' What good deeds have you to your credit?' 'The beams of my house, she said to them, ' have never beheld the hair of my head nor the seam of my undergarment.'

@SethJ. If it's “tartei desasrei”, then, ideally, yes. See the answer below too.

@YDK. Thanks for the reference to the Aruch haShulchan (from "havinenu" - well remembered)! Point about the shalich tzibbur is well taken. If anyone can supply a source, I'd be grateful.

comment What was the effect of Yaakov placing his right hand on Efraim?
So what happened was that Yaakov foresaw that that Efraim would be greater than Menashe and that this greatness depended on his blessing. I can live with that. It would be good to see a source that says it.
