WOMEN & GETTING TO KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS [#18841]

April 5, 2022

QUESTION:

I am a woman who is learning the Rav’s series Getting To Know Your Thoughts, which talks about how men can develop their analytical abilities and Torah study. The Rav explains how a person needs to reach the inner source of thought. How can a women reach this since women don’t learn Torah in-depth like men do?

ANSWER:

Women mainly need to become connected with simple faith in Hashem, which includes peshitus (simplicity), temimus (earnestness) and emunah (faith in Hashem). That is how woman gain deep, inner understanding.
There are some women who are exceptions, who are able to think analytically like men can. For them, it’s different. In any case, each woman has to figure out what her personal capabilities are when it comes to this.
