HOW CAN WOMEN DEAL WITH CHALLENGES [#18527]

January 17, 2022

QUESTION:

How can women and girls deal with the hardships of life, especially when they don’t see any hope on the horizon? If men can deal with the pressures of life through learning Torah, which gladdens the heart, what can women do since women don’t have Torah learning?

ANSWER:

They need to learn and understand how all chiyus (inner energy) comes from emunah. Not just to believe in Hashem, but that our entire chiyus comes from emunah.
And by extension, we should get chiyus from just doing Hashem’s will.
Besides for this, every bas Yisrael must find her strongest ability (as explained in the sefer Hakarah Atzmis, Self-Recognition) and to actualize her strongest potential. That will be the source of her chiyus! And besides this, chiyus can also be gained from smaller things as well.
