WOMEN & MASHIACH [#18694]

February 13, 2022

QUESTION:

Do Chazal speak anywhere about the wife of Mashiach? And if Mashiach will have a wife, are women more connected to the wife of Mashiach than they are to Mashiach himself? Just as we find that women are more closely connected to the Imahos (the Matriarchs) than to the Avos (Patriarchs), and although all of Klal Yisrael, both men and women, are connected closely to both the Avos and Imahos, still the women have a closer connection to the Imahos. So do women have more a connection to the wife of Mashiach (if there is one) than to Mashiach himself?

ANSWER:

Mashiach himself will be on the level of Nukva [Malchus], the feminine level, and it is women who are masiach l’fi tuman, they converse innocently (and masiach is from the word Mashiach). It is natural for woman to talk freely, and that is a hint to Mashiach/masiach/conversing. Also, Dovid (the root of Mashiach) came from Rus, who is called the “mother of royalty”. And Chazal said that while Yehudah was trying to take a wife, Hashem was busy preparing the light of Mashiach [which would come from the union of Yehudah and Tamar]. See Kisvei Rema”m m’Shaklov, derushim al seder hishtalshelus 327.
Women are connected to Mashiach himself, as explained above, because Mashiach’s level is rooted in the feminine [in Nukva/Malchus].
In the End of Days, the masculine and feminine levels become combined, and that is the light of Mashiach. Thus, in the simple sense, Mashiach will not have a wife, because Mashiach is in the secret of “There is no left side (no feminine side) in Atika (in the hidden level).”
