THAT'S MUSIC TO MY EARS


Wednesday, August 18th
"Israel's Chief Sephardic Rabbi has declared that "women may be great Talmudists (gedolei hador) & they may serve as arbiters of the law (morei hora'ah) & as teachers of Torah & practical halakhah, because the authority for these positions flows from the individual's talents.""
I hope his attitude catches on. In the mean time my mystic practice reminds me that gender difference can make *all* the difference to some people. Strict discipline in diet, solitude, spiritual growth, sacrifice and sexuality I pray will help women gain independence and empowerment through mysticism, & that these disciplines, taken on voluntaritly as an expression of love for the Creator, will be remembered as hugely relevant today.
