Bulletproof Stockings Are The Fiery, All-Girl Hasidic Jewish Band That Rocks Harder Than Anyone

Yasmine Hafiz

As observant Hasidic Jews, Dalia Shusterman and Perl Wolf never thought they'd be playing alt-rock music to a packed, all-female house at Arlene's Grocery in New York City's Lower East Side.

But on August 7, that's exactly what they did.

The musical duo make up Bulletproof Stockings, a "Chassidic Alt Rock Girl Band" that's named for the tights traditionally worn by observant Hasidic Jewish women. Though they are observant themselves, it's no barrier to their pursuit of music as a career.

Bulletproof Stockings spoke to The Huffington Post about their personal faith journeys, passion for music, and conviction that their performances empower women.
