Judaism is a middle eastern religion and the Ashkenazi have turned it into a liberal let women do everything western religion. Is it any wonder why the reform and the weakening of Judaism came from Europe. In the middle east where Judaism comes from the men were unquestionably in charge of everything relating to halakha and religion while the women took care of keeping home in tact. Regardless of the minhagim of lighting the chanukah there is a sense today that we must justify why only men do certian mitzvot as if we are being put on trial…Bias Ya’akov graduates fight with their husbands because they think the one minhag they learned in their school is torah lemoshe mi sinai and wont listen to her husband who knows that is not the case. My grandparents alav hashalom from Yemen were an example to me, my grandmother was no push over and my grandfather did not treat her as a slave but their roles were clear my grandfather was in charge of everything to do with religion and my grandmother ran the home…she never asked why she could’nt put on tefilin or light the menorah and he never dared tell her how to cook, clean, who to invite for a meal, which simkha they would attend etc. They were married for nearly seventy years aleihem hashalom; they fought their fare share and had great times too. Today the women want to be men and the men want to let them. This is why Torah Judaism is becoming like a debate on the view or some other garbage talkshow and why half of every frum marriage now ends in divorce and more Jewish singles cant or wont marry.
