251. Roles

What happens when a woman is alone?
Does she have to manage the wheat as well as making the bread? The way I understand it is that G-d supplies the wheat through the fruit of my labor, and I make the bread. This latter then, I share with others. There are those who do not want to accept the bread, either because they are not hungry, or because it is too hard to chew, more less to digest. What is there for me to do? What is my role then? I try to be honest with the best of my ability. And I will not conform to this world. The bread I make is out of what I receive, and as such I will give it to whom the Ruach leads me to. Am I wrong? Please help me with this, for this message came today as the right time for an answer. My Talmud, Yabamot does go that far. Thank you so much for your kindness Rabbi Freeman.

I see that this article has been around for some time. I haven't read all the comments but here goes my take.

1. What do we do with the man who has no wife. I have a wife and four children. But what about those who are confirmed bachelors or just not marriage compatible.

2. As if the wedding game is not enough, how about those who cry that if you do not have children, it is a sin. i was sitting beside the nicest man who overheard the little pisher.

Both number 1 and 2 i heard out of the mouth of a rabbi's son. Where do you think he got it from ? This particular rabbi has 6 kids and is a course unrefined individual.

3. If people are well dressed the kid says that they waste money on clothing. meanwhile the rabbi lives in a big house in the best neighbourhood. Reason ? So many guests. That's not true. It is a good real estate move, and you have to wonder where these rabbis get their gelt.

i have never observed a rabbi giving tzedakkeh in the pushkin, the can for money.

Cheers

Today I disagree, it that is allowed.

I think, in front of G-d, every human being is whole entity too. The spiritual achievements are his spiritual achievements, and with the woman it is the same.

Of course, only together they are a whole, but if one on his own could not achieve anything, what is with widows/widowers, people who have to live without a partner?

I realize that we view bread as the staff of life, but in fact it is not the best food for human digestion. The original humans did not eat grain. It broke their teeth. So women started grinding it into meal and soaking it in water. But why do all this when there are so many softer foods such as yams? We humans made a mistake going after grain, probably because it was easier to grow than nuts, berries, and greens. It gave us the illusion of control over nature, it gave us excessive food, but when the food supply is excessive, the population grows and grows and for some time we've struggled with overpopulation and overcrowding and the aberrant behavior that goes with it. The Torah tries to prohibit the bad behavior, but overpopulation distorts the behavior even of animals. We think we have free will! We don't have free will. We're controlled by our disease which is produced by overpopulation. What can we do? We can't kill off the people! Are we stuck?

You said that this [beautiful] quote is from the Talmud can you tell me from where?

I don't get it. Seems that the wheat is from the man's physical labor and the bread making is the spiritual part. So how does the spiritual from man turn physical by woman?
