It's truly sad that theses women don't learn Torah. If they did they would see that the Torah considers women to be on a much higher spiritual level than men. Because of a mans lower level he needs the reminders to keep him in-line, so to speak. When a woman wants to dress and act like a man, she is telling the Jewish world she is lacking as a Jewish woman. It says she is on a lower spiritual level than other Jewish women. Not only that, but all these woman that want to take on the mitzvot of men that they are not obligated to do, do they observe the mitzvot that women ARE obligated to do? I notice in the photos non of the women cover their hair. Kal v' chomer, are they observing taharat mishpacha?

Actually I can't buy into this one. If a tallit puts them in the mood of prayer, so be it. Is chanting Torah acting like a man? If so, I'll act like a man.
ReplyDeleteMen do not wear a tallis because it puts us in the mood for prayer. Jewish men wear a large tallis because it is a rabbinic commandment. We don't keep the mitzvos because they make us feel a certain way, we keep the mitzvos because the Torah tells us to.
