Dear Dov,
Okay. All Jews should be passionate for Judaism. And as long as Torah is the center of Judaism, Jewish woman are expected to be passionate about Torah. As sure as there were Jews in every generation, there were Jewesses that were completely devoted to Torah. Open, closed, sideways, orthodox, orthoprox, frum, or another way, it could only persevere when Torah is central and accessible to all of the community.
“A woman’s Judaism is being a balabusta”
Is there a source for this?
What about when she is too old or young to keep house?
“Caring for the kids.”
All Jews should be caring.
All humans should care for kids.
Almost all creatures care for their own young.
You must have meant something. Source?
And how is it more on women?
He a woman is in a place with no kids, is she still Jewish?
“Lighting candles.”
I am a man and I light candles.
Is that really all Shabbos is for women? The Torah stresses it as central to the mitzvos. And all you can thing of is something that is more or less reduced to a ritual.
How does a women keep her personal mitzvos – or any others, if she never learned how? Better question. Why should she think that keeping mitzvos is worthwhile? And how will she know what they mean?
Taking challah is the baker’s obligation. There is no reason for a woman to do it more than a man. I have done it many times.
Giving people a task list, is not the same as the giving of the Torah. We can make a whole list of mitzvos for men. But it is stupid to say that lending money without interest makes you a Jew. Or having a succah. Observance is about actions. Identity is not.
“Cooking”
?!?!?
It is a part of her Judaism for her to cook? Does she make a bracha? Many men cook. Source, please. This is just bizarre.
I have no ideas about women being like men or whatever. I do know, That you are asking for fakers when you say people in our community are not allowed to be involved in Torah but must be involved in the community. And nobody will listen to a gadol who only talks Torah since he is off limits to the majority, his statements are worth less. At this point, almost all stripes of orthodoxy has been affected. Or maybe infected. It is almost impossible to hear a pure Torah message that is not diluted to engage those in the community, who were turned off from Torah.
