Women & Learning Agadta [#15736]

October 11, 2021

QUESTION:

Do women have a better understanding at matters of agadta, mussar, machshavah and Chassidus, which is the “heart” part of Torah? Or are women always inferior when it comes to their understanding in Torah and therefore they don’t properly understand Torah, whether regular Gemara or agadta? (And it’s just that they have a better understanding of soul matters and their internal world)?

ANSWER:

Anything that requires “heart understanding” requires expanded consciousness called Ima, and anything which requires feelings of the heart is called Tevunah [both which can be understood by women].
