# If one is facing such a woman, according to [[Sepharadim]], he may close his eyes or turn his head, in order to make a [[Beracha]]. According to some [[Ashkenazim]], he must turn all the way around. Other [[Ashkenazim]] say that turning around is only necessary when one is facing the actual [[Ervah]] of a woman, but in the case of a [[Tefach]] of skin or hair, closing one's eyes or turning his head is sufficient. <ref>Yechaveh Daat 2:5</ref> | |||
