Joseph: I would like to apologize please.
After looking back at the “Women on a higher level” thread, it does sound like I was stating that women are in fact on a higher level.
I did not mean to say that I believe this is so. Granted it is nice to think that, for being told that also evokes a responsibility to play the part and be content with this role.
However I think that I am just a person and everyone, men and women, are on various spiritual levels. I still want to learn more about what men and women are taught.
Sometimes I wonder if rabbonim are like oracles, where they not only tell us truths but what we need to hear to achieve or become our highest selves.
Also… if women are taught that they are on a higher level and this is not so, then how does one know that being Jewish makes one on a higher level than a nonJew?
Is there really no evidence from our Sages that demonstrates that our souls are just as close to Hashem as other people?
Thanks and please forgive me
