249. Female Redeeming Power

When you look carefully into the story of the Exodus, you see that the true redeeming force was the faith of the women.

Today, history is repeating itself.

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
From the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory; words and condensation by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman. To order Rabbi Freeman’s book, Bringing Heaven Down to Earth, click here.

God's example
God chose women to show his redeeming grace through....more than men.
God uses men to show his power.

It's only right to acknowledge-
when the Rabbi is right, especially if you had criticized him previously.

You are right again here, Rabbi Freeman:

Women play a prominent role in the redemption and repair of this oftentimes broken world in which we sojourn.

Jews accredit women with their very souls.

In all too many parts of the rest of the world, for all too long,-

women were often regarded as little more than abused housepets.

The world does still need to be redeemed from this error, for the damage done to the world by this error.

The Jewish covenant does have a 'leg up' in this regard because of women.

extra
I guess that the extra dose of binah/understanding women are born with will always reflect extra emunah and bitachon.

more woman
more and more woman will seem to have faith due to the cost of inflation and rising food costs to feed their children in this country. the financial strains that are put on a family can draw one closer to G-d.

Gd's love
Gd can decide to redeem or not to redeem depending on the quality of the people in that generation.

These women may have been the ones who demonstrated the merit of their generation and inspired Gd to want to redeem Israel even though their slavery time was not yet up.

women keeping the faith
The apology from my country to Australia's Aboriginal people yesterday was, primarily, brought about by the faith of Aboriginal women and their persistance on behalf of their communities. A very bright day in the 40,000 year history of the Aboriginal races, and for Australia. We are now a truly multi-cultural and peace loving country.
