Enjoyment of learning needs maintenance
A wife igniting the lost passion for learning in her husband's heart
He always puts the responsibility on the women, maybe the men should start to step up
ReplyDeleteAs in being a big boy and confronting inappropriate bosses and relatives or anyone else by himself and protecting his wife and better yet maybe even earning enough so she needn't be vulnerable out in the world being preyed upon but at home with her kids
DeleteIn this post egalitarian society that modern women grabbed for themselves,they must either take responsibility or share culpability
ReplyDeleteThey didn't take it for themselves, the kollel system forced it on them
Deleteso then why do all the young working guys wives work too?
DeleteWomen working is not a new phenomenon. In the heim, women worked hard, and were often the breadwinners.
ReplyDeleteLakewood did not innovate over here.
In the US of the 1950s, the goyishe society was patriarchal, and position was defined by money making ability. We are not Goyim, not of the 2020s or the 1950s.
Not true.
Delete"Ana eflach"
Of course, in Lakewood they don't believe in that.
if you had even learned Maseches Kesuvos you would know that it was always common for women to work outside the house and have maisoh yad. but, of course, anonymous internet trolls don't believe in that.
DeleteAmong the lower classes.
DeleteHistory didn't stop at the times of Chazal. For hundreds of years, in exile in Europe, women worked. We are far from our agrarian Chazal roots.
DeleteIf you want to return to the lifestyle of Chazal, don't put it on the woman. Men should work in the fields if they want the women to stay home.
Ana eflach doesn't mean what you think it does. Learn the Halacha, the two opinions in Tosfos and the final Halacha in the Rema.
DeleteGoyishe society in the 50s wasn't patriarchal,certainly not even close to as patriarchal as our jewish society was by comparison.
ReplyDeleteThere was however Cold war atmosphere.Goyishe males in the circumstances were drafted & were forced en masse to risk themselves.The basic payback was the GI bill, which virtually only males benefitted from, helping elevate their status.
Furthermore,in the pre-pill era women needed after a fashion to be more careful or deal with the consequences
The goyishe 1950s version of Father knows Best was not the Jewish one. Some people push a version of nostalgia and think it is Judaism. Victorian prudishness is not Judaism, just like republican male dominance is not.
DeleteReally?
DeleteOffer us your better alternative.Instead of hocking or knocking
DeleteProffer then an another general non-jewish (or even occasionally :( jewish)societal option more in concordance with authentic jewish societal values than those mentioned.Please.By all means.
DeleteShould we go back to the Puritans
De facto mostly perhaps.Still seemed better than now, & something we should be overall nostalgic for ?
