Women's role in judaism

[maxie m]

My proof was that a equal amount of men and women rached the highest level that a human can reach (obviously there are higher and lower levels of prophecy) so if the endgame is in your level of devotion/dveikus bahashem etc etc a equal amount reached the highest level. For a good lecture on this topic (or any other topic) http://www.dovidgottlieb.com/lectures/women_and_men.htm there is also a great book by Rabbi Moshe Meiselman but I forgot the name.

a mamzer talmid chacham is better than a kohein am ha'aretz, the question is if there is an inherent difference between man and woman

women have it easier, lesbians are not against halacha

WRONG! its an issur drabanan

[joe1234]

Why is physical strength of any consideration whatsoever?

do you say the other brachos in the morning or just this one?? pokeach ivrim, malbish arumim...

[Baruch]

Thank you, Mr Chevron. We knew we could count on you.

That's because of the metzius, not because of the din.

[efflpetzel]

Thank you, Mr Chevron. We knew we could count on you.

[MeirS]

sorry but that sounds ridiculous. the fact that we say shelo osani isha proves that men are superior and therefore that answers your question because it doesn't make sense for women to say shelo osani ish if they are inferior.

Wrong.

Where does superior and inferior come in to this story?
How about they just have different roles to play. I'm not talking about spiritually. Phisically, G-D made us different and we each have our own unique goal to fulfill and we can thank G-D for that every morning and then some more.

[Baruch]

Where?

How am I supposed to remember. I'm not million miles secrets, I don't hand it to you on a silver platter.
Your gonna have to do some research on your own.
 

[sky121]

what does it mean being superior anyways ?

[yuneeq]

What I understand is that Mitzvos are a method to create and maintain a connection with HaShem,
Men have more Mitzvos because otherwise we wouldn't be too connected.
Women were created at a higher spiritual plane and therefore require less Mitzvos to create and maintain a strong connection with HaShem.

so why do men say shelo osani isha??? i mean men are thanking G-D that they are NOT  women

[sky121]

so why do men say shelo osani isha??? i mean men are thanking G-D that they are NOT  women

Maybe because men wrote the brachos?

i thought he was saying he's gay

[yuneeq]

We make this brucha because men have mitzvahs which woman don't and therefore we make that brucha, we thank hoshem that we have more mitzvahs.

[wayfe]

I think women are superior and men make the bracha "shelo asani isha" fulfilling "ksheim shmevarchim al hatov mevarchim al hara'a"

Women don't say "shelo asani ish" just because we don't like rubbing it in.
