Women and Torah Study: A Meditation System for a Young Woman, Riga 1939

An introduction to the subject of women and Torah study is followed by the study of a letter written by the sixth Chabad Rebbe, R. Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of Lubavitch, to an 18-year old Chassidic woman who belonged to a women's mystical study group in 1930s Riga.

Exponential Contemplation (higher and higher and higher) is not necessarily the point here The woman's comment to the Rebbe was that she felt action was empty. By breaking down the "thought", "speech" and "action" perspectives of thought alone for her, for example, that within any given concept there is its essence and then its language, the Rebbe is giving this woman (and us) a tool with which we can find true meaning and fullness in every thing we say and do as well as contemplate. At least, that is my "take" on this. Reply
