I have been listing to all the lectures chabad.org has to offer, and in large part I have learned, appreciated and grown from the wisdom.
In this lecture, I found little pearls of wisdom, small ideas that rang true.
The idea that I man needs respect, and a woman appreciation...ok. It works.
However, the fundamental idea that a man comes from nothing and a woman comes from him, not only goes against the reality of all nature, but some might say, against the Torah itself. What of the "androgynous being," many great scholars say was first created? What of the misinterpretation of hebrew that "rib" and "half" were confused?
After all....in all evidence of life on this planet, with the exception of the sea horse, man comes from woman!
But truthfully, it makes much more sense in the principles of balance, that one was created and equally became two. Since the entire lecture was based on this fundamental disagreement, it was difficult to listen to.
To conceive, it is not necessary for a man to face the ground and the woman to face him... any doctor could tell you that conception comes in a variety of ways.
Anyway.
I will listen to more lectures by Rabbi Freidman...and I will try to be open minded...however, this one put me way off.
Thank you to chabad.org for allowing so many different perspectives.
