Ascribing any type of human characteristics to G-dl is tantamount to heresy. Yet, the Torah refers to G-d in the male tense; “The Holy One, blessed be HE.” Why isn’t G-d referred to as a woman? Discover the true kabbalistic meaning of “G-d & Gender.”

Understanding G-d's gender
I have been a pastor for 31 years and have several degrees. However, I learned more about G-d's true identity here than any other single place!
Rabbi, you have opened my eyes!
Thank you.

My favorite rabbi on chabbad.org - Listen to all his recordings, there's so much value in his words.

An absolutely brilliant and profound lecture - about so much more than gender - I learned heaps about Kabbalah from this. Thank you :)
