Reply To: Women- a golus and Geula paradigm

and that’s how the world ran- on a paradigm of domination. Doing Torah and Mitzvos wasn’t natural to the worldly environment- it imposed G-dliness on a seemingly unG-dly world.

Nationalism meant who was going to conquer and subjugate the most nations. etc.

The world is different today. It is much closer to the Geula paradigm than the golus one. Of course one can still choose to live in a golus mentality, but that is simply unfortunate.

The question now changes to instead of who should dominate? to which the answer is the man, to Why do we need to dominate?

I can respect the fact that my husband is better at decision making, and leave that up to him, and my husband can want to term me as a co director in our shlichus, because he recognizes that my role in the marriage and raising the children, (in addition to the few programs I run) bring as many people closer to Yiddishkeit, as the communal and shul events.

Ie we can respect the different gender roles without one dominating the other.

Of course this is still a very delicate balance today and we can’t live this reality fully until Moshiach comes-
for example, women can’t sing in public because men still have a yetzer hara, until Hashem removes it by the Geula,

but allot of progress can be made towards living in a Geula mindframe. And its a different life.
