"Lo I'm Haaretz Chassid" Part II

A comment on my last post:

I realize this post came out terribly unclear! I meant to write about how women can be very uninvolved in Torah but at the same time spiritually dedicated, and nothing more is asked from them. I know I'm not making this situation up--it's everywhere. Think about the fact that there is no s'char limud Torah for women. It's encouraged only for commandments that apply. In other words, "lo am haaretz chassid", a man who is an ignoramus cannot be a chassid (righteous)--there is no way he can fulfill his purpose as a good Jew without learning and knowing. A woman, on the other hand, can be the exemplary Rebbetzin with only second hand knowledge from men on only applicable issues, i.e. kashrus, taharas hamishpacha, tznius, etc.

That's the issue I wanted to bring up and discuss, using myself and my husband only as an example. Instead I got so carried away expounding on my husband's virtues that I left the main point for the last paragraph! I guess that makes me a good wife, but a terrible writer! :) In any event, I hope this comment clears things up and you don't view the post a biographical piece with a little philosophy at the end. View it as social commentary with a little biographical information thrown in to serve as example.

Waiting to hear from you...
